# Afosto

### Before you start

You’ll need

* An Afosto account

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Your data source

* In Channable, open the project you want to import your product data to.
* Go to **Setup > Import** and click **+ Choose import method**. Select **Afosto**.
* Click **Add new connection** or select an existing connection. 
* For **Label**, give your connection a name. By default, this is "Afosto".
* Click **Connect with Afosto**. You'll be redirected to your Afosto account.
* Log in to your Afosto account, if you haven't done so.
* Review and accept the permissions to connect your account to Channable. You'll be redirected back to Channable to set up your connection.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Import settings

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
For **Name**, give your Afosto connection a descriptive name (e.g. "Afosto NL").
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
For **External service id**, select the relevant ID.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Run import**. You'll be redirected to the **Import Mapping** page to map your product information.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Import mapping

This page displays fields retrieved from your Afosto account (e.g. price, description, title). We match these fields to standardized fields to make it easier for you to set up multiple channels with the same product data.

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: Want to learn more about how import mapping works in Channable? Read our [dedicated guide on mapping](/get-started/getting-started/fields-in-channable/field-mapping-in-channable.md).
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Compare and adjust mapping.

* Review your **Imported data fields** against Channable's matched **Project fields**. If a field was matched incorrectly, click on the field to select a different field.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Check the field type.

* If a field has the wrong field type, click **Edit** next to the field, select the correct type in the dropdown, and click **Save & Import**.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
Exclude fields (if needed).

* To exclude a field from being included in your product data, click the checkbox in the **Select** column for that field and select the **Exclude** checkbox. 
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}
When you’re ready, click **Save & Import** to start importing your Afosto product data.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Overview

* Go to **Overview** to view your imported products.
* After your product data has finished importing, click on an item to see detailed information.

Your Afosto import is now successfully set up! You can now use this product data to create and optimize Feeds, Marketplaces, Shopping Ads, and more in Channable.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Your Afosto connection may expire after using it for a while, resulting in a 'failed API' error message. To continue importing your product data, you'll need to [refresh your connection](broken://pages/ff06acf91842be7c59116d13905169242ab90a73).

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/import-data/import-how-to/import-your-product-data/import-via-a-webshop/afosto.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
