Cernel’s configuration lives in two places in the sidebar. Day-to-day work items (Automations, Data Sources, Integrations, Languages) are grouped under Tools at the top of the sidebar. Platform-wide configuration (Global Prompts, Usage, team management, API access) lives under Settings at the bottom of the sidebar.

Tools overview

The Tools section in the main sidebar holds the workspaces you return to as part of daily enrichment work:
ToolPathWhat it controls

Data SourcesTools > Data SourcesOrganization context library for agent prompts
IntegrationsTools > IntegrationsShopify, CSV, Feed, API connections
LanguagesTools > LanguagesEnabled languages and language configuration

Key platform settings

Approve Before Push

When enabled, AI-generated content must be explicitly approved before it syncs to your connected integrations. This gives you full control over what gets published to your store. Find this at Settings > Platform under “Enable ‘Approve Before Push’.”

Global Prompts

System-level instructions that apply to all AI agents. Configured in two tabs:
  • Attribute Types tab: Set prompts per attribute type (Text, HTML, Single Select, Multi Select). These instructions are automatically included when any agent generates that type of content.
  • Languages tab: Set prompts per enabled language. These provide language-specific guidance like grammar rules, cultural conventions, and terminology.
Global Prompts combine with individual agent prompts. You don’t need to repeat organization-wide rules in every agent. Put universal rules in Global Prompts, and content-specific instructions in agent prompts.

Usage tracking

The Usage page (Settings > Usage) shows your enrichment activity:
  • Elements Run Total - Total number of attribute values generated
  • Total Jobs - Number of enrichment jobs run
  • Avg Elements Per Job - Average attribute values generated per job
  • Elements Run Today - Today’s generation count
  • Enrichments over time as a trend chart
  • Breakdown by type (Text, HTML, Single Select, etc.)
  • Breakdown by language for localization tracking
Filter by time period to track your enrichment usage across different ranges.

Event Log

The Event Log (Settings > Events) gives you a real-time view of system activity across your Cernel platform. Use it to monitor what’s happening with your integrations, enrichment runs, and product processing — and to quickly diagnose issues when something goes wrong.
The Event Log page showing a table of system events with level, domain, event, and last seen columns, plus filter controls at the top
The event table shows four columns:
ColumnWhat it shows
LevelSeverity of the event: Info (normal activity) or Error (something needs attention)
DomainWhich part of the platform generated the event (e.g., Integration, Platform)
EventA description of what happened
Last seenHow recently the event occurred
Click any event row to expand it and see additional details: how many times it occurred, when it was first and last seen, the associated integration (if applicable), and any diagnostic information.

Filtering events

Use the filter toolbar at the top of the page to narrow down what you see:
  • Min severity — Show only events at a certain severity level or above
  • Domain — Filter to events from a specific platform area
  • Event kind — Filter to a specific type of event
  • Resource type — Filter by the type of resource involved (e.g., product, integration)
Click Clear filters to reset all filters and see the full event stream again.
If you’re troubleshooting a sync issue with an integration, filter by the Integration domain and Error severity to quickly find relevant events.

Category depth

Control how many levels of your taxonomy appear in the sidebar navigation. Set this at Settings > Platform. Choose between 3 and 7 levels. This is display-only and doesn’t affect how attributes flow or how enrichment works.

Frequently asked questions

Tools are the workspaces you use day-to-day to configure how enrichment runs: Automations, Data Sources, Integrations, and Languages. They live at the top of the sidebar because you visit them regularly. Settings (at the bottom of the sidebar) holds platform-level and team configuration you change infrequently: Global Prompts, Usage tracking, Users, API tokens, and Webhooks.
Global settings affect how the platform behaves for everyone in your workspace (Global Prompts, Usage tracking). Organization settings manage team access (Users).
Admin users can access all settings. Regular users have limited access depending on their role. User management (inviting, removing, changing roles) is admin-only.
Settings > Usage. This shows total enrichments, trends over time, and breakdowns by type and language.
Go to Settings > Events and filter by Domain: Integration and Min severity: Error. The event log shows all recent errors along with details about what went wrong. Expand any event row for diagnostic information including occurrence count and timestamps.
Global Prompts are prepended to agent prompts automatically. The AI receives both: the Global Prompt first (for universal rules), then the agent’s specific prompt (for content instructions). This means rules like “never use superlatives” only need to be set once in Global Prompts, not in every agent.
