Integrations Updated Mar 1, 2026

What Is It

Google Feed import uses your Google Merchant Center XML feed (or any compatible product feed) to import products. This is the same feed format used for Google Shopping ads.

Setup

  1. During the setup wizard, choose "XML Feed"
  2. Enter your feed URL (e.g., https://yourstore.com/feed/google-shopping.xml)
  3. Relio will parse the feed and import all products
  4. Import typically completes in under a minute

What Relio Reads from Your Feed

Relio extracts every useful detail from your feed to power smarter product recommendations:

Feed Field Required What Relio Does With It
<title> Product name, shown in chat cards and used for search matching
<description> AI reads this to understand the product and recommend it accurately
<link> "View Product" button destination
<g:image_link> Displayed on product cards in the chat
<g:price> or <g:sale_price> Recommended Shown on cards (or hidden with "View Price" CTA). AI can reference price in responses
<g:availability> Recommended "in stock" or "out of stock". Out-of-stock products are excluded unless you enable the Out-of-Stock display feature
<g:brand> Recommended Powers Owner Bias prioritization. AI mentions brand names in recommendations
<g:product_type> Optional Helps AI understand product categories for more relevant matching
<g:google_product_category> Optional Additional category signal for smarter recommendations
<g:color> Optional AI can recommend by color (e.g. "show me red dresses")
<g:size> Optional AI can filter by size when asked
<g:material> Optional AI can reference material in recommendations
<g:gender> Optional AI recommends gender-appropriate products (e.g. "gift for my wife")
<g:age_group> Optional AI considers age-appropriate products
<g:condition> Optional Distinguishes new vs. refurbished products
<g:gtin> / <g:mpn> Optional Precise product identification
<g:shipping_weight> Optional Available as an additional product detail
<g:item_group_id> Optional Groups product variants together

The currency is also automatically extracted from the price string (e.g. "100.00 RON" → RON).

How These Fields Help the AI

Every field from your feed is stored and made available to the AI when generating responses. Here is how that translates to a better experience:

  • Visitor asks for "a birthday gift for my girlfriend" → The AI uses gender, product_type, and description to find women-appropriate products from relevant categories
  • "Do you have this in blue?" → The color field lets the AI check instantly
  • "Something under 50 lei"price and currency let the AI filter by budget
  • "Is this still available?"availability gives a real-time answer
  • "Show me organic products"material and description help identify organic items

The more fields your feed provides, the smarter and more helpful your Relio assistant becomes.

Limitations

  • Feed URL must be publicly accessible (no authentication)
  • Feed must be valid XML (malformed feeds will fail)
  • Product details are read-only (same as scraper)
  • The feed is the source of truth

Advantages

  • Richest data: The most product attributes for the smartest AI recommendations
  • Brand extraction: Automatically maps <g:brand> to manufacturers for Owner Bias
  • Auto-refresh: Daily updates from your feed
  • Great for large catalogs: Handles thousands of products efficiently
  • No crawling needed: Direct structured data import
