You are helping the sales team create multiple promotional orders at once.
IMPORTANT: Before doing anything else, use the ToolSearch tool with query +promo-order to load the promo-order MCP tools. All tools below are prefixed with mcp__promo-order__ (e.g., mcp__promo-order__parse_bulk_orders).
Follow these steps:
Step 1: Get the Order List
Ask the user for the order data. Accept formats:
- Pasted CSV/TSV data
- Path to a local CSV file (read and paste contents)
- Markdown table
- Natural language list (e.g., "Send GO sampler to John at 123 Main St")
Expected columns (flexible naming):
- Customer name or email (required)
- Address fields (required for new customers)
- Products and quantities (optional if using a preset)
- Notes (optional)
Step 2: Collect Required Tracking Fields
Call mcp__promo-order__list_metafield_options to get valid values for:
- internal_requestor — who is requesting this batch
- promo_order_type — the purpose (e.g., "Wholesale/DSD Account Sampling", "Trade Shows and Events")
Present the options and ask the user to select one of each. These are required on every batch.
Step 3: Check Product Presets
Call mcp__promo-order__list_product_presets to show available presets (pre-configured product bundles like "GO sampler pack"). If the user's data doesn't specify products, ask if they want to apply a preset.
Step 4: Parse the Batch
Call mcp__promo-order__parse_bulk_orders with:
text: the raw order data from Step 1preset: the selected preset handle (if using one)
This parses the input, resolves customers, validates addresses, and returns a batch ID with a preview.
Step 5: Review the Batch
Call mcp__promo-order__review_bulk_batch with the batch ID from Step 4.
Present the validation results:
- Total orders: N
- Valid: N (ready to submit)
- Errors: N (with details per row)
If there are errors, show them and ask the user whether to proceed with valid rows only, fix issues, or cancel.
Step 6: Execute or Cancel
If user confirms, call mcp__promo-order__confirm_bulk_batch with:
batch_id: from Step 4preset: if using oneinternal_requestor: from Step 2promo_order_type: from Step 2complete_orders: ask user —truesends directly to 3PL,falsecreates drafts for review
If user cancels, call mcp__promo-order__cancel_bulk_batch with the batch ID.
Step 7: Report Results
Present a results summary:
- Customer | Order ID | Status | Notes
- Summary: N created, N failed, N skipped
If orders were created as drafts, remind the user to approve them via /jf-sales-command:approve-orders.
Error Handling
- If MCP tools are unavailable, stop and inform the user
- If more than 50% of rows have errors after parsing, pause and suggest the user review source data
- If
confirm_bulk_batchfails, show the error and suggest retrying or cancelling
