### Before you start

You'll need:

* An API URL and key from [XSARUS](http://www.xsarus.nl/).
* An inRiver account

### Step 1: Create your inRiver connection (Your data source & Import settings)

1. In Channable, open the project you want to import your product data to.
2. Go to **Setup > Import** and click **+ Choose import method**. Select **inRiver by Xsarus**.
3. Click **Add new connection** or select an existing connection. 
4. Fill in the following information:
   * For **Label**, give your connection a descriptive name.
   * For **URL**, paste your webshop URL.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Important: Be sure to remove any extra / at the end of your URL. The URL should end with the domain extension (e.g. .com, .net)
{% endhint %}

* For **API Key**, enter the API key you received from Xsarus.
* For **Language**, select the language your product data is in.

4. Click **Connect with inRiver by Xsarus** to finalize your connection.
5. Give your connection a name.
6. Click **Run import**. You'll be redirected to the **Import Mapping** step to map your product information.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 2: Import mapping

**Edit mapping** displays fields retrieved from your inRiver account (e.g. price, description, title).

In this step, match your imported fields to Channable's standardized project fields. Channable does most mapping automatically, but review and adjust before importing.

{% endhint %}

* 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.
* Check and correct field types.\
  Ensure the right field type is assigned to your project fields. If a field has the wrong type, click **Edit** next to the field, select the correct type in the dropdown, and click **Save & Import**.
* Exclude fields (optional).\
  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. 
* Once you've finished mapping, click **Save & Import** to start importing your product data.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 3: Overview

After your product data has finished importing:

* Go **Overview** to view your imported products.
* Click on an item to see detailed information.<br>

Your inRiver 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.

## 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/inriver.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.
