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:
- From the Configuration – Start the import directly from the specific configuration.
- Via the Scheduler – Automate imports at scheduled intervals.
- Single Product Import – Import a single product manually.
From the configuration
In the context menu of the configuration (...), there is a button called "Synchronize All Products."
This retrieves all products listed in the Approved list and updates or creates the corresponding products in your feed® with data from the sender.
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.
