Insights: Changes in reporting data
What’s changed?
Starting June 15, 2026, Google’s reporting API will include data from all Performance Max networks in this report, including Video, Demand Gen, and App.
This means that without any settings change, your Google Ads Insights dashboards may show changes in impressions, clicks, conversions, and cost. These changes can happen because the report now includes a broader set of data, not only because performance changed.
This gives you more flexibility in Insights settings and improves data coverage for these network types.
Who is affected?
Affected: Anyone who uses Google Ads Insights dashboards in Channable.
Most affected: Users who focus mainly on Search performance or use thresholds and rules based on current Insights metrics.
Also affected: Users who monitor upper-funnel performance in Performance Max.
What you need to do (affected users only)
We have added a new filtering setting Ad network types to all Google Ads Insights dashboards in Channable in Settings > Advanced settings.
Choose the setting that matches your goal:
Focus on Search and ROAS: Select Search in the new filter options. Then review your segmentation thresholds or rules if needed.
Focus on upper funnel and impressions: Keep the current, selected filter and expect your metrics to grow.

Google Shopping feeds: New Conversational Attributes
What’s new?
Google Shopping feeds now support Google Merchant Center’s new conversational attributes.
These fields help your products show up with richer, query-ready data in Gemini and AI Mode. You can add them directly in Channable and generate the content in bulk with AI text generation.
Google conversational attributes include:
Question and answer
question_and_answer: Add direct answers to common product questions.Document link
document_link: Link manuals, size guides, or spec sheets that Google can parse.Related product
related_product: Connect bundles, accessories, and alternatives.Item group title
item_group_title: Group variants clearly for more complex searches.Variant option
variant_option: Describe specific variant choices in a structured way.Popularity rank
popularity_rank: Signal which products perform best.
Google confirmed that adding these attributes does not affect existing product approvals.
You can add them through your primary data source. You can also use a supplemental feed, which Google recommends. Enterprise users can also use our Merchant API team integration.
With AI text generation in [your channel] > Optimize, you can generate conversational content from your existing product data in bulk. This is useful for question_and_answer, variant descriptions, and other descriptive fields.

Google Merchant Center: automatic migration from Content API to Merchant API
To send and receive product data with Google, Channable uses your Google Shopping connection to Google Merchant Center. This connection powers features like Google channels, PPC, CSS, and Insights for Google.
Google will replace the Content API with the Merchant API on August 20, 2026. If your Merchant Center account still uses Content API as its primary data source, Channable will automatically migrate you to the Merchant API by June 24, 2026. No action is required.
What’s changing?
On August 20, 2026, Google will sunset the current version of the Content API and move to the Merchant API.
Timeline
From May 25, 2026: We begin migrating affected accounts.
By June 24, 2026: Channable migrates remaining accounts that still use Content API as their primary data source.
August 20, 2026: Google sunsets the current Content API version.
Who is affected?
Affected: Anyone whose primary data source in Merchant Center is Content API (including users using a Google Shopping API integration).
Not affected: Anyone using file uploads (for example XML) as their primary source.
What to expect
Features that rely on your Google connection, like channels, campaigns, and CSS, are expected to keep working as usual. Here are a few things to expect:
Your setup should keep working: Your channel is expected to function as usual.
Improved error reporting: Clearer error messages with actionable descriptions. Some existing errors may show slightly different error names or messages. If an error blocks your export, handle it as you normally would.
The first export after migration may take longer: This is most common on the first run after you’ve been migrated. No action is needed.
Optional invalid fields won’t be sent: If an optional field would cause a warning or error in Merchant Center, it may be ignored instead of sent.
Deprecated fields/values are ignored: Some attributes and values have been deprecated by Google. They may still appear in the Mapping and Build steps, but they won’t be sent to Google.
