Renable turns your product feed into dynamic, on-brand ad creative — automatically, and kept in sync as your products change. This article walks you through the whole first-run path: from signing up to handing a live feed URL to your ad network.
There's currently no in-app setup wizard, so treat this article as your guided tour. Keep it open in a tab while you work through your first setup.
The big picture#
Renable's pipeline has six stages:
- Catalog — you connect a product-feed source (a store, brand, or market).
- AI enrichment — Renable matches the same product across your catalogs (within a project) so you manage it once, and prepares images, ad copy, and review content with AI.
- Studio template — you design an ad creative (image or video) that binds to your product data.
- Project — you scope which catalogs and which products a campaign uses.
- Channel — Renable exports a feed (RSS/CSV) combining your project, product selection, and template.
- Ad network — you paste the channel URL into Meta, Google, TikTok, or another network to run dynamic product ads.
Once this is wired up, everything after stays automatic: new or changed products flow through enrichment and rendering without you re-exporting anything. For a deeper look at how these pieces relate, see How Renable works.
Step 1: Sign up#
Go to the signup page and create your organization. This creates your account and your organization (the tenant that will own everything you build) — note the trial countdown itself doesn't start until you connect your first product feed (see Your free trial).
Your trial runs for 14 days and includes up to 25 products, 1 catalog, 3 channels, and 200 credits — see Your free trial for the full terms and what happens when you hit a limit.
Step 2: Connect your first catalog#
A catalog is one product-feed source — a store, brand, or market. Everything downstream (enrichment, templates, channels) depends on having at least one catalog connected.
From your dashboard, add a catalog and point it at your feed. Renable supports three ways to bring in products: a feed URL (typically a Google Merchant XML feed), a live Meta Product Catalog API connection, or a live Google Merchant Center API connection.
Your feed doesn't have to be perfect before you connect it. Once your catalog is in, you can clean up and reshape the incoming data — fix messy values, drop products you can't advertise, or line your feed's columns up with the fields ad networks expect — all before it reaches your ads. Do it yourself in the catalog workspace, or just describe what you want and let Aimée set it up and publish once you approve. This is optional, so if your feed is already in good shape you can skip straight ahead. See Transforming your feed and Let Aimée set up your feed.
Step 3: Let import and enrichment run#
After you connect a catalog, Renable imports your products and starts AI enrichment: reconciling images, extracting review quotes, generating ad copy, and predicting product categories. This usually takes a few minutes for a small catalog, and up to around 15 minutes for very large catalogs (tens of thousands of products) — it scales automatically, so there's nothing you need to configure. Once it's done, your products are fully enriched and ready to use in a template.
You don't need to wait idle — you can start building your Studio template while enrichment finishes; placeholders will simply show fallback or partial content until enrichment catches up.
Step 4: Review the AI-generated content#
Once enrichment has run, review what Renable prepared — images, ad copy, and review fragments — before it goes live in your ads. Content you mark as reviewed is locked and won't be overwritten by future AI runs.
Step 5: Build a template in Studio#
Studio is Renable's template editor — a canvas where you design an ad creative and bind parts of it to product data using placeholders. A template can drive static images or video.
Start from a template gallery item or a blank canvas, pick a size, and associate it with a catalog so it has real product data to preview against.
Step 6: Create a project and a channel#
A project ties together which catalogs and which products are in scope for a campaign. A channel combines a project, a product selection, and a template into an exported feed.
Create a project, add your catalog to it, then create a channel that points at the template you built.
Step 7: Hand the channel URL to your ad network#
Every channel produces a feed URL. Copy it and register it as the catalog feed URL inside Meta Catalog Manager, Google Merchant Center, TikTok, or whichever network you're running dynamic ads on.
From here, keep editing products, content, and templates as needed — Renable re-renders and re-exports automatically, so your live ads always reflect your latest data.
Getting help along the way#
Two resources are always available while you work:
- Aimée, Renable's in-app AI assistant, can edit a template or a channel for you directly, right from the drawer available throughout the app. See Meet Aimée.
