A first-run walkthrough from signing up to a live ad-network feed — connect a catalog, let AI enrichment run, build a template in Studio, and publish a channel.
Updated September 21, 2026
Renable turns your product feed into dynamic, on-brand ad creative — automatically, and kept in sync as your products change. This article walks you through the whole first-run path: from signing up to handing a live feed URL to your ad network.
There's currently no in-app setup wizard, so treat this article as your guided tour. Keep it open in a tab while you work through your first setup.
Renable's pipeline has six stages:
Once this is wired up, everything after stays automatic: new or changed products flow through enrichment and rendering without you re-exporting anything. For a deeper look at how these pieces relate, see How Renable works.
Go to the signup page and create your organization. This creates your account and your organization (the tenant that will own everything you build), and its third step is a card form (run by Stripe) that starts your 30-day free trial of the 500 feed items plan. A card is required, but nothing is charged for 30 days. (If you have already had a trial on another organization you created, the third step is Start your subscription instead — pick a plan and add your card, and the first period is charged that day; see your free trial.)
Your 30 days start at signup, so it's worth working through the rest of these steps while you're here. See Your free trial and what happens on day 31 for what the trial includes, and what happens when it ends.
A catalog is one product-feed source — a store, brand, or market. Everything downstream (enrichment, templates, channels) depends on having at least one catalog connected.
From your dashboard, add a catalog and point it at your feed. The Product feed source dialog offers four kinds of source, side by side at the top: a Feed address (a direct link to your feed file, which is what most catalogs use), a Google Sheet published to the web, Upload a file you replace yourself when it changes, or an Ad platform catalog — the catalog you already keep at Meta or Google. Whichever you pick, the dialog reads the source as you type and previews the columns and first rows it found, so a wrong address is visible before you save.
Your feed doesn't have to be perfect before you connect it. Once your catalog is in, you can clean up and reshape the incoming data — fix messy values, drop products you can't advertise, or line your feed's columns up with the fields ad networks expect — all before it reaches your ads. Do it yourself in the catalog workspace, or just describe what you want and let Aimée set it up and publish once you approve. This is optional, so if your feed is already in good shape you can skip straight ahead. See Transforming your feed and Let Aimée set up your feed.
After you connect a catalog, Renable imports your products and starts AI enrichment: reconciling images, extracting review quotes, generating ad copy, and predicting product categories. This usually takes a few minutes for a small catalog, and up to around 15 minutes for very large catalogs (tens of thousands of products) — it scales automatically, so there's nothing you need to configure.
Enrichment isn't a gate you wait behind. Your products are usable as soon as they import: they appear in your product sets, previews, and feeds straight away, and their AI-written copy and processed images fill in afterwards. So a product that shows up with a blank headline shortly after an import is normal — but a product set that is still empty after the import finished is not explained by enrichment, and the thing to check is the set's filters and the catalog's own rules.
That's why you can start building your Studio template right away: placeholders simply show fallback or partial content until enrichment catches up.
AI content shows up on your products as it's produced, so you can start reviewing images, ad copy, and review fragments as soon as the first of it lands — there's no completion step to wait for.
One thing to know before you start: approving is an editorial lock, not a gate. Unapproved content is used in your templates and channels by default, so you don't have to review everything before it goes live. What approving buys you is that future AI runs won't overwrite what you've settled on.
Studio is Renable's template editor — a canvas where you design an ad creative and bind parts of it to product data using placeholders. A template can drive static images or video.
Start from a template gallery item or a blank canvas, pick a size, and associate it with a catalog so it has real product data to preview against.
A project ties together which catalogs and which products are in scope for a campaign. A channel combines a project, a product selection, and a template into an exported feed.
Create a project, add your catalog to it, then create a channel that points at the template you built.
Every channel produces a feed URL. Copy it and register it as the catalog feed URL inside Meta Catalog Manager, Google Merchant Center, TikTok, or whichever network you're running dynamic ads on.
From here, keep editing products, content, and templates as needed — Renable re-renders and re-exports automatically, so your live ads always reflect your latest data.
