Recommendation Feed Error

[RaghavAggarwal]

How to use the Google Product Feed which is in format of the sheet for the Adobe Target Recommendation Feed?
I am facing the unkonwn error while uploading the Google Sheet in the Google Product Feed in the Adobe Target Recommendation Feed.

These kind of errors occur mostly due to either

1) Incorrect format of feed file

2) The file is missing from your server

Also  Target’s “Google Product Feed” expects Google Product Search XML, not a raw sheet

Refer to DOC: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-cloud-kcs/kbarticles/ka-14505

So there are two axes to check:

1) Wrong format (sheet/CSV instead of Google Product XML).

2) XML formatting (header not on its own line, all content in one line).

Thank you!

Hi @RaghavAggarwal,

just to add a note for others: the “Google Product Feed” option in Target only accepts the Google Product Search XML format (RSS + g: namespace). A Google Sheet or CSV can’t be uploaded directly. After converting the sheet into valid Google Product XML, the feed upload worked without any issues.

Hope that helps.
