Plan: Free + Pro

To follow a blog or newsletter in NotebookLM, enter its RSS or Atom feed URL in the NotebookLM Ultra Exporter import center. The extension lists the latest articles and imports the ones you select. Fetching a feed is free within the import allowance; scheduled checks for new articles need Pro.

## Quick facts

| Item | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Where | Import center, RSS / Atom method |
| Plan | Free + Pro |
| Allowance | Free: 20 successful source imports per local day, up to 5 per batch. Pro removes both limits. |
| Data flow | The material you select is sent to Google NotebookLM. Capture reads the source site from your browser. |

## Steps

1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab.
2. Open the import center and choose RSS / Atom.
3. Enter the feed URL and grant permission to access that site.
4. Tick the articles to import, confirm the target notebook and submit.

## Limits to know

- Free can save 1 import recipe and run it manually; scheduled checks need Pro.
- Scheduled checks run only while Chrome is open and signed in.
- Google's own limits still apply: sources per notebook, file size and accepted file types are decided by NotebookLM, and Pro does not raise them.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is it free to import an RSS feed into NotebookLM?

The basic use is free within 20 successful imports per local day and 5 items per batch. Schedules, larger batches and the one-click shortcuts described on this page need Pro.

### Will new posts be added automatically?

With Pro, save the feed as a recipe with a schedule. New articles are imported while Chrome is open; already imported ones are skipped.

### Does importing count toward the NotebookLM source limit?

Yes. Every imported item becomes a source in the notebook and counts toward its source limit, which depends on your Google plan. To free up slots, see [merge sources into one](https://nlmexporter.com/guides/import/merge-sources-to-notebooklm).
