Base. (Baselinker) Transmitter

We provide a full configured station template with the necessary datamap and jobs for the Dynamic JSON Transmitter!


Setup the transmitter

In the transmitter settings you need to setup two things:

  1. The inventory Id
  2. The API key

Contentserv configuration

Save the api token in the contentserv password manager and select it in the Base. transmitter settings.
 

Node Mappings

Please ensure that the nodemap settings are set correctly to identify products and variants and to differentiate if the record needs to be created/updated or deleted.

Configuring the datamaps

In every datamap is a row used to identify the product. This is the “sku”. Also, the row “inventory_id” is required.

The last row in the datamaps is always called ‘additionalInformation’. This row is ignored by Base. but is necessary for the connector to work. In this row the csrecordid and the csrecordclass are stored.

 

If you export products with variants you need to configure the row called ‘variants’ in the ‘products´-datamap, in which is only used for variant loading.

Text fields

The basic value for the text field can be configured in the main datamap.
For the translations you can use the row

 

text_fields|[]

 

which creates an array and stores all translation values. There should only be an export of languages that are additional to the default language.

Image upload

You can upload a maximum of 16 images per product. All images are sent with the key ‘images’ from the datamap.
The images are stored in numeric sequence, so if you have 5 images stored, and you want to remove the third image, you have to send an empty value (“”) with the key 2.

 

The images are streamd with the preset url to Base.. you just need to export the url with the prefix “url:”.
Example:
