ENHANCEMENTS IN PRODUCT FEED TEMPLATE
We have been doing some remarkable upgrades to the product recommendation feature and this release brings out some of the Product Feed Template enhancements, which are:
- Ability to manually add products to the Product Feed Template
- Ability to see a preview of product recommendations when creating the Product Feed Template
- Ability to customize what product information is shown in product recommendation
To learn about Product Feed Templates, see Product Feed Template.
Here's a screenshot of the sample New Product Feed Template page with the new functionalities highlighted in green:
Manually Add Products to the Product Feed Template
We introduced a new method Manual Selection on the New Product Feed Template page.
The existing Product Feed method uses a product feed to automatically generate product recommendations. With the Manual Selection method, you can now add specific products to the feed by selecting them from the product catalog. The ability to add products manually enables you to promote specific products from your product catalog instead of relying on a set of conditions.
To learn about how to use the Manual Selection method, see Product Feed Template.
NOTE: The product recommendation generated using a Product Feed is dynamic and is generated at the time of sending the email. Whereas the product recommendation generated using the Manual Selection method is static and doesn’t reflect new changes to the selected products after the Product Feed Template is created.
Preview When Creating Product Feed Templates
You can now see a preview of product recommendations when creating the product feed template. The Preview Products toggle button on the left canvas of the New Product Feed Template page lets you enable and disable the preview functionality.
Customize the Product Layout
You can now decide what product information is displayed in the product recommendation. On the New Product Feed Template page, a section PRODUCT LAYOUT has been introduced. The product information such as product name, image, price, and call-to-action button are listed in form of checkboxes. By default, all the checkboxes are selected. You must deselect the product information that you don’t want to be displayed in the recommendation.
