Where can I find the URL to a channel?#
On the channel page itself, in the Channel URL section near the top. You can also copy it from a project's Channels list, without opening the channel, using the copy-URL action on that row.
How do I control which products are included in a channel?#
By the product set(s) selected in the channel's Settings section. Select "All products" to include everything in the project, or attach one or more filtered product sets to narrow it down. On top of that selection, an exclude-product rule on the channel's Rules tab can drop individual products from the exported feed — see the next question.
How do I stop advertising a product on just this channel?#
Add a rule on the channel's Rules tab with the Exclude product action and a condition matching the products you want out — for example when stock count equals 0, or when brand equals X. Products the rule matches are genuinely left out of the exported feed; everything else ships as usual. This only affects the one channel — other channels and your catalog are untouched. (To remove products from every channel, use an exclude rule on the catalog instead; to change which products the channel covers wholesale, adjust its product sets.) Like every rule change, it takes effect when you publish the channel. See Channel automations for details.
How often does my channel update?#
Two speeds, depending on what triggered the update:
- Background changes — a product feed refresh, a price or stock change, content finishing generation — start deploying to the published channel within about 5 minutes, so related changes can be batched together.
- Manual regenerate, or publishing a channel — starts deploying within about 15 seconds.
Either way, that delay is how quickly the redeploy starts, not a guarantee it's finished — a large catalog, or products whose images/videos still need rendering, can take longer to actually complete.
Your catalog's incoming product feed is fetched every hour, so a change on your store's side (price, stock, new product) shows up in Renable within an hour, then flows into the published channel shortly after that.
The channel's URL never changes, so the ad network always sees updates at the same address — you don't need to re-share the URL after any of this.
If you've heard "changes regenerate within about 15 minutes," that's out of date — the actual delay before a redeploy starts is a few minutes for background changes, or about 15 seconds after a manual regenerate or publish.
How do I assign an image or video template to a field?#
- Open the channel's Fields tab and find (or create) the field, for example
image_link. - In that field's content editor, click the dropdown (down-arrow) and choose Image template (or Video template).
- Click the content-element chip that appears to open its settings, then pick the template and size to render.
See Channel fields and placeholders for the full editor walkthrough, and Animated product videos for the video-specific flow.
What can I do to be ready for Google's AI shopping surfaces?#
Start with the honest version: nobody can put your products into Google's AI answers. What you can do is supply the product fields those surfaces read, and fill them well. Google decides what it shows, and it publishes no promise — or even a hint — that these fields change your ranking or placement. Anyone telling you otherwise is guessing.
What that looks like in Renable: switch on AI discovery for the Google row in the channel's Used for setting, then fill the four fields it adds — product highlights, an enriched description, structured product details, and questions and answers. Two come from AI prompts, one from your catalog's own attributes, and the questions and answers you write yourself. The full walkthrough and the field limits are in AI discovery on Google.
It's Google-only — these are Google Merchant Center attributes, so the option doesn't appear on a Meta or TikTok row.
Why isn't my change showing up in the ad network yet?#
Most likely: you haven't published. Every edit to a channel's settings, fields, or automations — whether you made it or Aimée did — saves to a draft first. The live feed your ad network reads doesn't change until you click Publish on the channel page. See Publishing a channel for the full draft/publish workflow.
If you've already published and it's still not showing up, check:
- Whether the channel or its organization is over a plan limit, or the channel is archived — either causes Renable to deploy an intentionally empty feed.
- The ad network's own fetch schedule for your feed — see Connecting a channel to Meta, Google, or TikTok.
