Step 8 of 8
Run your images on Meta
Add your campaign's feed to Meta Commerce Manager so your catalog ads show the OptiQube creatives.
On a paid plan, every campaign has product feeds under its Feeds tab, until you activate the campaign; after activation the tab disappears. You paste a feed URL into Meta Commerce Manager once; Meta then reads it again on its own schedule, so newly approved images reach your ads without another visit to OptiQube.
The feeds
| Feed | What is in it | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Supplementary feed (one per style) | Only the product ID and the AI image, plus custom_label_1 = the style's name. |
You already have a Meta catalog. It swaps the image of the products it names and leaves the rest alone. |
| Style feed (Full) | Your full product details with the AI image as the product image. | You want a catalog that shows this style straight away. |
| Main feed | Your whole catalog with the original photos. | You have no Meta catalog yet and want to create one. |
If you already have a Meta catalog
- In OptiQube open Campaigns, pick your campaign and open the Feeds tab.
- Under Product identifier, paste the data feed URL your Meta catalog already uses and click Check which id matches. If it suggests switching between Product ID and SKU, take the suggestion.
- In Commerce Manager, open your catalog → Data sources → your shop's data feed → Supplementary feeds → Add supplementary feed.
- Choose Scheduled feed, paste the style's supplementary feed URL (click Copy CSV version (for Meta) in OptiQube), and set the schedule to hourly.
- Still under Data sources, open Configure sources (or Settings → Data source priority). For the Image field, move the OptiQube feed above your shop's own feed.
- Wait a few minutes for the first fetch, then check a product in the catalog: it should show the new image.
- In Ads Manager, create a campaign with the Sales objective and choose Advantage+ catalog ads with this catalog.
Watch out
Step 5 is easy to miss, and Meta has no way for OptiQube to do it for you. Without it, your shop's original photo keeps winning.
Tip
To run only one style, filter the product set on custom_label_1 equals the style's name.
If you have no Meta catalog yet
- In Commerce Manager choose Add catalog → E-commerce → Upload product info.
- Under Data sources → Add items → Data feed → Scheduled feed, paste the Style feed (Full) URL to get the styled images straight away, or the Main feed URL for your original photos. Set it to hourly.
- Fix anything Meta flags under Diagnostics, usually a missing price or a product page it could not reach.
Keeping it in sync
- An image you approve reaches Meta on its next pull. One you hide leaves the same way. There is nothing to re-export.
- The feed URLs stay the same, even if you regenerate images or rename the campaign.
- Request update now on the data source in Commerce Manager makes Meta read the feed right away.
If something is off
- The images did not change: the priority step is missing, or the IDs do not match. Run Check which id matches on the Feeds tab.
- "no content id provided" in Meta's error report: use the CSV URL for the supplementary feed.
- Products rejected in Diagnostics: Meta needs a price with a currency and a stock state for every product.
Note
The same guide is in the app: on the Feeds tab, click Step-by-step guide.
Done when
a product in your Meta catalog shows the OptiQube creative.
