# Set up a feed - Rules

Learn how to use rules in the Rules step to transform and optimize your product data so it meets your channel’s requirements.

In the **Rules** step of the feed setup, you can create rules to alter and optimize your imported product data so that it meets the requirements of your chosen channel.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Find out more about [rules in Channable](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/rules-in-channable.md).
{% endhint %}

#### Use rules to improve your product data

Use rules to improve your product data based on the issues that show in the [Quality](/list-advertise/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-quality-step.md) step. For example, if you have products that are missing data for the field ‘size’, and you have the size in the title field, you can [use a rule](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/how-to-use-actions-then-in-rules/rule-action-search-for-value.md) to fill in the missing data.

**Tip:** Learn about [conditions (IF)](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/how-to-use-conditions-if-in-rules.md) and [actions (THEN)](/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/how-to-use-actions-then-in-rules.md) in rules.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/list-advertise/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-rules.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
