# Set up a feed - Mapping step

In the Mapping step, you need to map the internal Channable fields with the fields that your chosen channel requires.

Each channel has different field and format requirements. Channable indicates these and provides a description and example for these fields.

### Mapping fields

{% hint style="info" %}
Tip: Find out more about [field mapping](/get-started/getting-started/fields-in-channable/field-mapping-in-channable.md) in Channable.
{% endhint %}

If you have unmapped fields in the “Internal field” column, you need to select a field or [add a new field](/get-started/getting-started/fields-in-channable/map-and-add-fields.md). Then you can connect your product data fields to the export channel’s fields.

#### Mandatory fields

If these fields are not mapped, or the data is incorrect or incomplete, the channel will not accept or list your items.

#### Recommended fields

We recommend that you map these fields and ensure that the data is correct and complete, as their mandatory status depends on the item.

#### Optional fields

Map these fields and ensure that the data is correct and complete to improve the performance and visibility of your items.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Each export channel has different requirements for your data, so each feed has different mandatory, recommended and optional fields.

## 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/list-advertise/list-on-channels/set-up-a-feed/set-up-a-feed-mapping-step.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.
