8. Set up the **Categories** for your products by using the [generate categories feature](https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/categorize-products/create-product-categories/use-the-generate-categories-function) or by [creating new categories](https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/categorize-products/create-product-categories/use-the-generate-categories-function).
9. When your product data is incomplete or does not match the format that Criteo requires, use [rules in Channable](https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/rules-in-channable) to make improvements. [Create rules](https://helpcenter.channable.com/manage-improve-product-data/rules-bulk-edit-and-enrich/using-rules) in the **Rules** step to optimize your product data.
10. Link the right fields in the [**Mapping** step](https://app.gitbook.com/o/QRs4Yua0yRsGzJScLQzF/s/F8GepmoSonQRG6RnHOxJ/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-mapping-step).​

    <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="success" class="hint hint-success"><p><strong>Tip:</strong> For a description of the channel fields, hover over the gray question mark icons with your cursor. Make sure to at least fill in all the mandatory fields, which are blue.</p></div>
11. Check your feed in the [**Quality**](https://app.gitbook.com/o/QRs4Yua0yRsGzJScLQzF/s/F8GepmoSonQRG6RnHOxJ/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-quality-step) step. If there are any errors for mandatory fields, solve these first by optimizing your product data with rules and/or connecting the right fields in the **Mapping** step. Repeat if needed.

12. Once your feed is setup, go to the [**Preview & export**](https://app.gitbook.com/o/QRs4Yua0yRsGzJScLQzF/s/F8GepmoSonQRG6RnHOxJ/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-preview-and-export-step) step.
    1. Click **Activate feed**.
    2. After the activated feed has run, you can preview your feed and access the feed URL. Here you can preview how your products will appear in the feed and you can copy the feed URL to add to Criteo.
