# April 8, 2025: New Auto-map fields feature for Marketplaces

April 8, 2025

We’ve introduced a new mapping suggestions feature to help make mapping attributes for marketplaces more efficient. The feature bases these suggestions on:

* Currently mapped categories and attributes
* Previously mapped attributes within the same project

#### How auto-mapping works

Auto-map uses fields you’ve previously mapped that share the same field name and type from other APIs to automatically map categories for you when setting up similar channels.

Example: Selling on Amazon in Germany and the Netherlands

You previously mapped the `item_color` field to the color attribute in an Amazon channel with Germany set as its region. Later, if you create another Amazon channel with the Netherlands as its region, the auto-map function will use your mapping from the German version to suggest similar fields.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Important: If this is your first API, auto-mapping won’t map any fields as it has no point of reference to base suggestions on.
{% endhint %}

#### How to use mapping suggestions

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### In Category-specific attributes

In the **Category-specific attributes** section in the **Build** step of your marketplace channel, click **Auto-map fields.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review suggested values

We’ll automatically fill empty attributes with suggested matching values if we have any.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save suggestions

Click **Save** to save the suggested attributes.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Mapping suggestions won’t override attributes you’ve already mapped.
{% endhint %}
