How to Customize Content with Content Rules

Here are step-by step instructions to use Content Rules to tailor your product content to your brand's needs!

• Edit or manage existing rulesets
• Assign default custom rulesets
• Examples & tips

Create a new ruleset

1. On the left sidebar, click Content Rulesets.
2. Click the + New button.
3. Select Create From Description to have Describely automatically create a ruleset from a sample product description. This can be from a live URL OR copied and pasted.

4.     Name your new ruleset and add, remove, or edit rules as needed. 
        Note: If you'd like to set your new ruleset as the default for your catalog's bulk                            generations, don't skip the checkbox at the top. 😉

5.   To customize your bullet point count, length, and instructions within your ruleset, add               a Bullet Point Setup rule.

     Example: Try telling the AI to include only specific product specifications or attributes in           each bullet point (with examples as needed). 

       You can also choose whether to strictly enforce the character limit for each bullet point.

6.   Click Save and Apply. Voila! Now you can now create product content in bulk.

Edit or manage existing rulesets

1. On the left sidebar, click Content Rulesets.
2. Locate the ruleset you'd like to edit or manage from the list. 
   Note: The Describely Default rules cannot be changed. Custom rulesets can be edited, cloned, set as a default, or deleted.
3. Make any edits to rules as needed. To remove a rule, click the trash icon on the right. To add a rule, click Add Rule on the bottom left. 
4. Click Save and Apply to save your changes. Voila!

Assign default custom rulesets

Describely prioritizes different default rulesets in the following order: 

• 1st:  Catalog default rulesets
• 2nd:  Account default rulesets (if no catalog defaults exist)
• 3rd:   Custom rulesets (if no account or catalog defaults exist)
• 4th:   Describely's default ruleset (if no custom rulesets exist)

Need to use the same ruleset across your entire account?

1. On the left sidebar, click Content Rulesets.
2. From the top of your ruleset, check the Set as business default box. Now this ruleset will be automatically selected whenever you create content! 🎉

Looking to apply unique rulesets to each catalog?

When you create or edit a ruleset from your catalog, you can set it as a catalog default ruleset.

Examples & tips

See our recommendations below to create custom instructions for different content types:

• Include clear, direct commands and make sure instructions do not contradict each other. 
• Use positive language. Tell us what you want the AI to do rather than what not to do.
• Test different instructions and keep fine-tuning until the results match your business's needs!
• When in doubt, try out the tried and true prompts in our Content Rules Library!
