Pulling data into a feed

The Source tab controls how external data is pulled in (it's available to users with the "add products" permission). Four sub-tabs: Push from source, Pull from source, Pull from feed and Mapping.

Push from source

Generate an ingest URL and copy it; an external system posts data to that URL to push rows in. Shows the last-ingest time.

Pull from source

Display Link fetches from an HTTP endpoint on a schedule. Configure the Method (GET or POST), Source URL, any Headers, and a Request body for POST. Enable or delete the pull service, and review recent successes and errors with timestamps.

Pull from feed

Link this feed's data to another feed so it re-uses an already-ingested source instead of fetching again.

Mapping

Mapping connects the raw source to your columns. Choose the ingest method — Update, Replace or Append — then add one or more named data mappers (you can have several, each Multiple-items or Single-item; a multiple-items mapper first asks you to pick the list to loop over):

• Mapping — for each target field, pick the source field from the live payload using the source picker.
• Filter — keep only rows matching conditions. The value box has a browse button that opens a picker into the real source data so you can choose a value rather than typing it.

Filter operators: is, is not, greater, greater or equal, less, less or equal, contains, not contains, starts with, ends with (ten in total).
