What are custom attributes?

Custom attributes are extra attributes that you create in EffectConnect based on conditions and actions that you can set yourself. You can use the values ​​that we retrieve from your webshop/ERP system or enter them manually.

Where do you use custom attributes in EffectConnect?

You can use the newly created attributes everywhere in EffectConnect, such as in:

• Product selection
• Channel settings
• Content mapping
• Repricer
• Translation module
• and other modules

For products for which this attribute is relevant, a tab with custom attributes will be displayed next to the product in EffectConnect.

Create custom attribute

You can find the module at Catalog > Custom attributes.

1. Click on the blue button to create a new custom attribute

2. Complete the basic settings

Enter and select which products you want to set a value for:

• For all products, or
• Only for products that meet certain conditions
  • Also select the catalog language to which the values ​​may be matched
    
    

3. Live preview

You can choose to see a live example so that you can check whether the result of the custom attribute is as desired and correct.

Select a specific product or a random product yourself.

 

4. Complete condition block 1

The conditions are constructed with if-then-and-or rules . 

IF
In the first condition block (If) you indicate which attribute you want to use (+ possibly an 'or' condition) to which the new custom attribute applies.

Here you can also see how many products meet these conditions and you can view the product list as a check.

THEN
Below that you can use all possible values ​​and combinations.

 

Fixed value
The set value is fixed and is automatically assigned to all products that meet the conditions for this custom attribute, for all languages.

 

Fixed value per language

The set value is fixed, but can be entered separately per catalog language.

 

Attribute
Select an attribute and the language of the attribute value for the custom attribute.
