Summer’s here, and so is Icecat PIM release 3.15.0. This release adds an AI chat assistant powered by Claude Managed Agents, moves product search to a new OpenSearch-based architecture that now powers the public API, redesigns the Import Wizard across its steps, adds user-based API token authorization, and updates the Amazon, Shopify, and Salesforce connectors.
New Features
AI-Powered Chat Assistant
- Built-in AI chat assistant, powered by Claude Managed Agents
- Connected to your dashboard data for contextual, catalog-aware answers
There’s now an AI assistant built into Icecat PIM. Ask it about your catalog or get help with a feature. Because it’s wired to your dashboard data, answers reflect your actual data rather than only a generic documentation. That’s the difference from a standalone chatbot, and it’s what makes the assistant useful for onboarding new team members or getting a quick answer mid-workflow. More on this soon.
Product List Image Filter
- New filter to sort products by image availability – No Images, One Image, or Multiple Images
You can now filter the product list by image availability, across three states: No Images, One Image, or Multiple Images. Missing visuals are one of the most common things to fix before publishing. On Amazon in particular, a listing without a compliant main image gets suppressed from search and display, so catching gaps early keeps them from becoming a channel problem.
Product List Information Cards
- Informational cards in the product list interface
- Quick-glance metrics and status indicators, sourced from OpenSearch
New info cards in the product list give you key metrics and status at a glance, drawn from the same OpenSearch layer that powers search across 3.15.0. No need to click into individual product pages. Less clicking, more context where you already are.
ASIN Reporting Tool
- Expanded ASIN reporting with deeper catalog item analysis
The ASIN Report first shipped in 3.14.0. This release expands it with more detailed catalog item analysis, so you can review your Amazon coverage without leaving the reporting tool.
API Authorization
- User-based API token authorization, managed from the “My Settings” page
The Icecat PIM API now supports user-based token authorization. Users with the “Manage API Token” right can generate and re-generate their own token from the My Settings page, and API calls made with it act as that user – a standardized, secure way for dev teams to authenticate integrations.
Import & Export
Import Wizard Redesign
- Redesigned interface and experience across file upload and mapping
- Updated run step with clearer progress feedback
- Attribute mapping converted to a dropdown, consistent with other mapping controls
- Option to hide obsolete CSV import formats for a cleaner setup
We reworked the Import Wizard’s file upload (Step 1) and mapping (Step 3), and updated the run step with clearer progress feedback. Attribute mapping is improved, matching the other mapping controls, and you can hide obsolete CSV formats to keep setup clean. It builds on the preview-speed and UI work from 3.14.0. If you’re importing from new suppliers or updating feeds with complex attribute structures, it should save you real time.
Logs & Validation
- Icecat enrichment event metrics added to import logs
- Pagination controls for import and export transaction logs
- Excluded “product not matched” noise from enrichment logs so success numbers are meaningful
- Fixed the attribute import path to respect the existing “Respect existing locks” setting
Import logs now include Icecat enrichment event metrics, and log views are paginated for high-volume histories. Enrichment logs now exclude “product not matched” noise, so success counts reflect real results. There’s also a data-integrity fix: the attribute import path now respects existing content locks, building on the product-import data-locking from 3.14.0. Previously, attribute imports could appear broken on locked products.
Connector Updates
Amazon
- Upgraded the Amazon Connector API SDK to the latest stable version
The Amazon connector is now on the latest API SDK. This resolves character errors on newly added APIs and marketplaces, and keeps the integration compatible with current marketplace requirements.
Shopify
- Fixed errors during collection assignment tasks
We fixed a bug that caused errors when assigning products to Shopify collections.
Salesforce
- Added support for OAuth Client Credentials authentication flows
The Salesforce connector now supports the OAuth Client Credentials flow – server-to-server authentication without user interaction. It extends the Salesforce work from 3.14.0 (multi-level category export) and fits automated sync scenarios and enterprise Salesforce Commerce setups.
General Improvements
Platform & Performance
- New API search routing layer built on a new OpenSearch-based search architecture
- Optimized dashboard query execution for faster rendering
- Reduced product edit page loading latency
Three performance changes: a new OpenSearch-based search routing layer that now serves the the Icecat PIM API, optimized dashboard query execution, and reduced product-edit page latency. The difference is most noticeable on larger multi-channel, multi-language catalogs.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a column rendering bug in the language filter on the product history tab
- Resolved a Push API issue where deleted products were not re-created on stock/price-only reactivation
- Fixed a product list filter issue where the warehouse stock filter returned zero-stock products
- Resolved a language bug in user management settings
- Fixed a channel-based data version deletion issue
Why This Matters
Icecat PIM 3.15.0 puts a Claude-powered AI assistant inside the platform, moves product search to a new OpenSearch architecture that now serves the public API, and redesigns the Import Wizard across its upload, mapping, and run steps. User-based API tokens (managed from My Settings) and Salesforce OAuth Client Credentials add two cleaner ways to authenticate integrations. Together with the dashboard and product-edit performance work, this keeps the platform responsive as catalogs scale across channels and languages.
And there’s more on the way in 3.15.1 – stay tuned!
