Use Auto Update to Add New URL’s

If you want to add new URLs for a marketing campaign or have added new products and these URLs are not yet in your auto-loaded source files, you can use this Append Function in Auto Updates to add them.

This is the best method if you have a list of URLs in Excel or a CSV file for multiple markets. You can add multiple files, or if they are merged into a single master file, the filtering system will sort them into their individual markets.

Using Append Feature

If you need to replace a large number of URLs for a single market or append additional URLs for a single build of the XML only, follow these steps.

Step 1 – Click Auto Updates

From the main screen header you will see “Auto Update” click this link to open the Auto Update Management screen.

Step 2 – Select your Import Source

Click to select or drag your source files into the upload box or click it to locate them on your computer.

CSV or XML Files—The system supports CSV or XLS files, which should ONLY have 1 column containing the list of URLs. You can have multiple markets in a single file or individual market files.

XML Sitemaps – you can upload valid XML sitemaps. If you created XML sitemaps using Screaming Frog or saved them to your local computer you can use this function. Note: If you want to import from your website then add them to either the sitemap or index sitemap tab.  

Step 3 – Click “Save and Run” to Import & Update

Click the “Save and Run” button to start the import process. The system will import these URLs and all the other source URLs and build a new HREFLang XML.

Note: The URLs will be added until this file is deleted during each future periodic update.
