Re: Web Clipper use cases

I like this new block, but I’m not sure I really understand how it’s best used. My observations/questions are:

It seems like the CSS Selector feature is only usable for pages that have the same format (a la the Twitter profile clipper in this forum). Is that accurate?
It seems like the web clips are manual one-time events, meaning that you would have to go the website again to update your table with any new data? Is that correct?

Thanks!

Clipper app settings. Class selector for description field- .jobs-box_html-content.jobs-description-content_text

Let me know if I am doing something wrong or how I can solve it. Thanks a lot!

I can’t see your images. They’re all broken. Can you see if you can fix your images or upload them again?

I misunderstood the wording. But this post explains perfectly.

Thanks.
