Notes on the example
In this example, a product feed from an online shop is used as the data source. Many online shop systems, such as Magento or Oxid, for example, provide product data in XML format. The product feed in this example transfers the two bestseller products from the online shop to Inxmail Professional.
Further standardised product feeds can be:
- Latest products
- Related products
- Random products
Through the transformation, the XML data is transformed to the structure of a two-column article in the Advanced Template.
