FEATURES · CAPTURE AND IMPORT
Import recipes and scheduled checks
Short answer
An import recipe saves a source and its target notebook, such as an RSS feed, a playlist or a website, so you can run the same import again. With Pro, a recipe can check for new content on a schedule while Chrome is open, skipping what was already imported.
