What content types or fields can I create?

• Describely supports product descriptions, titles, bullet points, keywords, meta titles and meta descriptions by default.
• Learn more about how to customize these through content rulesets here.

Can I generate multiple content fields at once?

• Yes! Unless you are creating a custom HTML description OR a custom field outside of Describely's defaults (which must be created separately from other content for quality purposes), you can create the following content fields at once:
  • Product titles
  • Product descriptions
  • Feature bullet points
  • SEO-friendly keywords or tags
  • Meta titles
  • Meta descriptions

When is a product credit used or "activated"? 

• A product is activated when a product description, title, bullet points, keywords, meta title or meta description  (AKA any of Describelys default content fields) OR a custom content field is created for any product.
• A product is also activated any time you score a product for SEO. 
  
• All purchased products have unlimited generations for 30 days after their first generation. Meaning, you can perform all of the above actions as much as you'd like during that time frame. 🙂

How many products can I generate for?

You can generate an unlimited number of times within 30 days for the products purchased! The 30 days is triggered for the product once you perform any of the above actions for the first time.

If you're ever unsure, head to Account on the left sidebar to view your purchased and remaining credits.

Which products are currently active?

• Activated products have a green "infinity" icon on the product image, so you can easily identify them and run additional generations as needed. 
  
• You can keep track of how many products are currently activated on the left sidebar.  

How do I write product descriptions?

Follow these steps to generate on-brand, SEO friendly product descriptions for multiple products at once. 

How can I see my content or bulk job history?

• Open your catalog and click Bulk Jobs Review on the top right.
• This will open a log of your bulk jobs with their generated fields and current status. 
• Use the top toolbar to customize this view to your liking by filtering your bulk jobs, hiding columns, and more. 
• Click on a bulk job to review and approve newly generated content. Learn more about this process here.

Why might a bulk generation fail, and how do I fix it?

• Content generation may fail if there is not enough product data to ensure quality content is generated for a particular product.
• If any products are expected to fail, you'll see a notification on how to resolve it with data enrichment. These products will be skipped by default, but you can attempt to process them if you'd like.
• If you'd prefer, you can manually add more product information through the Product Details tab or by importing data from other sources like a CSV or PDF. Then, try to re-run bulk on these products.
