Getting Started

This feature lets you dynamically insert product information into your dynamic templates, using the “Generate Dynamic Content” rule in the PIM. Imagine you want to create a product description that includes the product's name and color. To do this, you'll use the attribute codes assigned to these properties in your PIM.

Here's a basic example:

Let's say you have a product and want to include its name, stored in an attribute called product_name, and its color, stored in an attribute called product_color, in your description. You would write the following template:

This product is called {{ product.product_name }} and its color is {{ product.product_color }}.

When this template is processed, it will be replaced with the actual values from the product. For instance, if the product's name is "Elegant Lamp" and its color is "Golden", the output would be:

This product is called Elegant Lamp and its color is Golden.

Key Takeaway:

• Replace product_name and product_color in the example with the actual attribute codes from your PIM.
• The general format is {{ product.attributecode }} where attributecode is the code of the attribute you want to retrieve.
• The table below provides more detailed examples for various attribute types and advanced options.

Remember that the feature uses Twig, a powerful templating language. While basic usage is straightforward, you can refer to the provided Twig documentation for more complex operations.

Create your rule

Integrate product values in your dynamic content

Here is a table with most common ways to retrieve values from a product.

If you need more advanced information go the next section of this page. Keep in mind this a just a sum of common expressions but you may need to use most advanced Twig configurations depending on your needs.

Here is a list of attributes types & properties available : Text, Number, Measurement, Price, Simple Select, Reference entity single link, Family, Category

Preview your dynamic content

Before applying your rule to all target products, use the preview feature to verify that your content generates as expected.

Steps:

1. Enter your template: In the designated area, type or paste your dynamic content template.
2. Select a preview product: Click the "Preview Product" button and choose a specific product or product model from the list.
3. Review the results: The preview will display the generated content for up to 3 matching products and/or product models. For accurate results, especially with complex templates, it's recommended to initially shorten your product selection with a single, representative product.
4. Refresh the preview: After making changes to your template, click the refresh icon (arrows) in the top right corner to update the preview.

Note: Some dynamic content might be generated (and previewed) as empty in the following contexts:

• The attribute is empty for the product.
• There is a syntax error in the dynamic value (incorrect attribute code, invalid characters, etc.).
