You can import data to the current RSS feed from HTML, CSV and XML files. The importing process consists of two steps. The first step is common for all file types – select the file that will be used to import data to Feed Editor. The second step varies.

 

HTML file

You should specify the parts of the source code of the HTML file that will be used as identifiers. The beginning and end of the feed area and the beginning and end of each item). The Item title, link and description will be determined automatically.

 

For example:

Start Feed String: “<html>”

End Feed String: “</html>”

Start Item String: “<p><br>”

End Item String: “</p>”

 

CSV file

If the CSV file has been successfully read, the step 2 controls become enabled. Using the dropdown lists, you should select the columns, data from which will be imported to the corresponding fields of the RSS feed. If you want the feed item to be created only if all fields are filled, mark the “All Fields are Required” checkbox.

 

XML file

You should specify the parts of the source code of the XML file that will be used as identifiers. The beginning and end of the feed area and the beginning and end of each item)

 

For example:

Start Item String: “item”

Title Field: “title”

Description Field: “description”

Link Field: “link”

Enclosure Field: “enclosure”

 

 

Note. If for some reasons, you cannot open an XML file in a standard way in Feed Editor, you can try to import the data from this file using the Import Wizard. Moreover, this functionality can be used to open Atom feeds.
