Once the configuration is set up and any necessary approvals have been completed, the product data is ready to be imported.

There are several ways to perform an import:

  1. From the Configuration – Start the import directly from the specific configuration.
  2. Via the Scheduler – Automate imports at scheduled intervals.
  3. Single Product Import – Import a single product manually.


From the configuration

In the context menu of the configuration (...), there are three buttons for synchronizing and importing products to feed:

"Synchronize All Products."

  • This fetches all updates from the system that exports the data and the Awaiting approval list will be updated.
  • All products listed in the Approved list, will be imported. Existing products will be updated, and new products will be created in your feed® with data from the sender.


"Synchronize approved products"

  • This fetches updates from Approved products (only), and import the updates to your feed®.


"Synchronize new products"

  • This fetches updates from products that is marked as new in your feed (only).
    • It will update the Awaiting approval list with new products.
    • And products that is not yet created in your feed®, but is in the Approved list will be created in your feed®.



Via the scheduler

In the scheduler, you can set up a scheduled job of the feed2feed type.

The main difference between a job run through the scheduler and one started via the configuration is that a job from the configuration always performs a full retrieval and import, whereas a job run through the scheduler only retrieves changes made since the last run.

This means that an import run via the scheduler is much faster for importing updates, but a full import may be more suitable if you want to import all products for some reason.



Single product import

It is also possible to import a single product at a time. Navigate to the product and locate the feed2feed icon (this may be hidden in the product's context menu).

When choosing this import method, the same logic as a "full import" will be applied, but only for that specific product.


Log

Similar to other types of jobs, there will be a log available under Integrations → Jobs.

Here, you will find any errors that have occurred, as well as information about how many products have been created or updated.
