Create Custom Content Fields
In This Article
What are custom fields? If you need to write product content beyond Describely's default fields (product descriptions, titles, bullet points, meta titles, and meta descriptions), create a custom field to generate what you need.
Add a Custom Field
- On the left sidebar, click Content Rulesets.
- Open the ruleset where you want the new custom field to live.
- On the bottom left, click Add Rule.
- Scroll and select Custom Field. This will open the Custom Field setup window.
Write or Generate Instructions
- Name your new custom field.
- Choose a field type:
- Text for plain raw text.
- HTML if your platform or product information manager requires HTML formatting.
- In the Instructions section, you have two options:
- Manually write instructions: Be as specific as possible about format, length, style, and structure.
- Use AI to help: On the left side, click the Generate button. Describely will automatically create draft instructions for you, which you can edit as needed.
Pro tip: Write instructions in command style (e.g., “Write a list of 3 short, 30-character care instructions with keywords at the start.”). The clearer the instruction, the better the output.
Test & Save Your Custom Field
- At the bottom of the window, select a random product from your catalog to preview the generated content.
- Review the output and adjust instructions if needed until it matches your expectations.
- When you’re happy with your custom field, click Create Custom Field at the bottom.
- In the lower right corner, click Save and Apply to add it your master ruleset.
Voila! Now you’ll see your default fields and any custom fields when you create content in bulk, making it easy to create, review, and approve everything in one go.
