☝️ If you haven't created your Catalog Ads (previously 'Dynamic Product Ads') feed yet, we have developed this short guide to ensure all needed information is present and ready for upload.
When you have your Catalog Ads feed and you are ready to get started, the first step is to upload your feed into Studio which you do by:
Going into your Catalog Ads template in Studio
Go into the Dynamic module in your left-hand menu
Click on "Add Source" under "Catalog Ads - Social Media"
Click "Create New Data Source"
The next step is to name your source
Then you copy/paste in the link for your feed
Now it is time to Map Data Sources, where you need to match the columns with the data in your feed.
You can add more Fields to the map by clicking the "+ add additional" button below the required fields.
Workflow Hacks:
a. The Column will automatically map with Select input if the naming in your feed matches exactly what is stated in the Column.
b. You can search for the input in the list instead of scrolling by typing the name
Click "Finish"
.......... and then it will come up with a green check mark and say it has successfully created your Catalog Ads source - Great job 🤩
Now that you have uploaded your Catalog Ads feed, it's time to match elements with Catalog Ads data values. Go to this helpdesk to see how this is done.
