Add additional images to your feed with a spreadsheet import

Add dynamic image URLs to project fields with a spreadsheet import.

Use a spreadsheet import to add image URLs to project fields. Use these fields in the Image Editor as dynamic brand logos, backgrounds, and other designs.

Use dynamic images when they vary by product or brand. For one image that applies to every item, upload a static image.

Benefits of spreadsheet imports

• Use imported images as dynamic image fields in templates.
• Apply Background removal to imported images.
• Show different logos or designs for each brand or product.

Adding new images to your projects

If you want to use dynamic images in your image templates that are not in your product feed, you can add these using the Combine imports feature.

You can also add an image URL with a Set to value rule.

To do this, you need 2 things:

1. Public image URLs that do not require a sign-in. Supported formats are PNG, WebP, JPG, and JPEG.
2. A published Google spreadsheet containing the image URLs. Use its published URL for the import. See Publish a Google spreadsheet.

Below are two examples showing this method: adding brand logos and adding background designs.

You can also upload static images directly in the Image Editor. Use static images when the same image applies to every item.

Example 1: Adding Logos

1

Prepare logo files and spreadsheet

Make sure your logo images are reachable via URL.

Create a Google spreadsheet containing:

• 2 columns: one for the brand name, and one for the logo image URL. These will become project fields in Channable.
• A row for each brand name and logo URL combination.

Example Logo sheet - Sheet1

	logo_link	brand
1	logo_link	brand
2	https://examplesite.com/logo1.png	Aurora Couture
3	https://examplesite.com/logo2.png	SoleTech
4	https://examplesite.com/logo3.png	Vanguard Menswea

Publish the spreadsheet online and copy the URL.

Combine imports in Channable

1. Go to Setup > Import > Combine imports.
2. Select Google spreadsheet, paste the published spreadsheet URL, then click Save.
3. In the import mapping section you will see the brand name and logo URL project fields.

Combine and map on brand

1. Select Combine on field. Choose the brand field in both imports.

Products with a blank or unmatched brand do not receive a logo URL.

Example 2: Adding background designs

1

Prepare design files and spreadsheet

Make sure your design images are reachable via URL.

Create a Google spreadsheet containing:

• A column for each design you want to add.
• One row with the design image URLs.

Example design sheet - Sheet1

	background_design_url	sale_design_url
1	background_design_url	sale_design_url
2	https://example-site.com/design.png	https://example-site.com/sale_design.png

Publish the spreadsheet online and copy the URL.
