The Auto-map fields feature helps you quickly map your product data to marketplace attributes in the Build step of your marketplace channel (API). This feature uses smart suggestions to automatically fill in empty attribute fields, saving you time and reducing manual effort.
These suggestions are based on:
- The category and attributes you're currently mapping.
- Attributes you've previously mapped within the same project.
- AI suggestions based on the fields available in your project.
How auto-mapping works
Auto-map recognizes patterns and uses existing data to suggest fields to map for your attributes. It prioritizes fields you, or others with similar channel setups, previously mapped based on shared field names and types.
How the suggestion hierarchy works:
- Your previous mappings: Auto-map first looks at fields you've mapped in other channels within the same project. For example, if you mapped
item_colortocolorfor one Amazon channel, it will suggest the same selecting the same field for that attribute. - Similar channel setups: If you haven't mapped a particular field before, auto-map suggests mappings based on how others with similar channel setups have mapped their attributes.
Example: Selling on Amazon in Germany and the Netherlands
Let's say you've mapped the item_color field to the color attribute in an Amazon channel where the region is set to Germany.
If you create a new Amazon channel and set its region to the Netherlands, Auto-map will use your German channel to suggest the same fields for your Dutch channel. This means your item_color field will automatically be suggested for your color attribute in your new Dutch Amazon channel, saving you from having to find and map it manually.
How to use mapping suggestions
- In the Build step, click on the Category-specific attributes tab.
- Click Auto-map fields. We’ll automatically fill empty attributes with suggested matching values if we have any.
- Review the proposed suggestions carefully.
- Click Save to save the suggested attributes.
Clearing suggested fields
If you want to remove the auto-mapped suggestions, you have a couple of options:
- To clear all suggestions, click Clear all or refresh the page without saving.
- To clear individual attribute suggestions, click . next to the specific attribute field.
