You've prepared your feed. Now it's time to have Tweakwise Navigator read it. You can set up Tweakwise to read the data in your feed periodically.

1. Open the module Tweakwise > Connectivity > Tasks, that's where all your tasks are displayed:

2. Click 'New task', fill in a naam for your task and select a task type:

Explanation for setting up a task:

Task name	Fill in a description for the task. For example 'Import'.
Task type	There are different possibilities for tasks in Tweakwise. Choose 'Import default feed' for now.

3. Click 'Next' to continue. Fill in an e-mail address and indicate when you want to receive a notification:

Notifications/e-mail address

Tweakwise can alert you via e-mail when the import is done or if it returns an error. This field isn't required, but a notification when an error occurs is recommended. In the example, it's been set up that way.

4. Go to the 'Setup' tab to set up the rest:

Explanation of the fields:

HTTP URL	Fill in the URL where the feed is available.
Username/password	If the feed is secured with a username and password, fill it in here. It's not required.

5. You can choose to validate your feed. Choose the minimal amount of products, categories and properties the feed must have (this is not required):

 

6. After saving, the new task will be visible in the overview:

7. Click 'Start now' to execute the task. If it's busy, you'll see when it displays the text 'Processing...'

After starting, two things can happen:

2. The import was unsuccessful. The red button indicates that an error has occurred:
   

8. When you click 'Error', you'll go to the Result tab. Here, you'll see what caused the error:

De foutmelding is vaak een technische melding. Neem contact op met Tweakwise support als de foutmelding niet duidelijk is.The error is often a technical error. Contact Tweakwise support if the error message doesn't make sense to you.

• The category tree doesn't have a root element
• A product was not linked to a category
• A subcategory was not linked to its parent
• Names and prices of products have not been filled in
