Map your import fields to project fields

After you add an import to your project, Channable maps your product data and you are navigated to Setup.

To ensure that your product data fields are recognized by Channable, you need to map your fields in Setup > Import > [Added import] > Edit mapping.

If you have warnings in Edit mapping about the fields id, link, image_link, or price, this means that Channable cannot map your import data to these fields. It is likely that your import field names are named differently because Channable creates project fields based on your import field names.

We recommend changing the names of the project fields so that your fields are mapped correctly and so that there are no warnings.

Follow these steps to edit your project fields so that they have the recommended field names, using the image_link field (with the warning “Please map one field to image_link”) as an example:

1. Find the field in your import fields that contains the product URL or link and check the name of the field. The field could be named “Image Src” or something similar.

2. In the Project field column, find the corresponding mapped field (“image_src”) and click on Edit. In the popup, rename the field to “image_link”. This is the recommended name for this field, as indicated in the warning.

3. Click on Save and import. Now the warning should no longer be showing because your import field “Image Src” is mapped to the project field image_link.

Tip: Instead of editing the project field “image_src”, you can add a new project field with the name “image_link”.
