Feedly Bulk Feed Category Assigner

WHAT IT DOES

Feedly Bulk Feed Category Assigner solves a common feed organization challenge: categorizing multiple Feedly feeds is tedious when done one at a time. While Feedly allows individual feed categorization, there is no native way to select many feeds and assign them to a category simultaneously. This tool reads your current Feedly feed management page, detects all visible feeds, and displays them in a scrollable checklist with feed titles and current categories. You select the feeds you want to organize, choose a target category from a dropdown that detects all your existing categories, and click "Assign Categories." The tool then processes each selected feed sequentially through Feedly's interface, updating the category for each one. You can also add new categories directly from the tool. A preview shows your selection before assignment, and progress tracking shows each feed as it's processed.

WHERE IT RUNS

This extension panel runs directly inside your browser as an overlay on Feedly's feed management page. It works on the "Feeds" view, "Organize" page, and category management interfaces. The tool detects feeds and categories from the page's DOM and uses DOM manipulation to perform category updates through Feedly's interface. It requires no additional API keys or permissions beyond the BotGentz extension.

HOW TO USE

After installing the BotGentz extension and activating Feedly Bulk Feed Category Assigner, navigate to your Feedly feed management or organize page. Click the extension icon in your browser toolbar to open the panel. The tool automatically detects all feeds displayed on the current page. Each feed appears with its title and current category alongside a checkbox. Next, select a target category from the dropdown — the tool detects all existing categories in your Feedly account. You can also add a new category by entering a name and clicking "Add Category." The preview section shows how many feeds are selected and the target category. Finally, click "Assign Categories." The tool processes each feed with a 500ms delay, showing progress as each feed is updated. A notification appears when all feeds have been processed. Click "Export Report" to copy a report of all feed category data to your clipboard in CSV or JSON format.

TECHNICAL OPERATION — DOM-Based Feed Detection and Category Assignment

This tool detects feeds using selectors like `[data-feed-id]`, `.feed-item`, and `.subscription-item`, extracting feed titles, current categories, and URLs from their respective elements. For category detection, the tool looks for elements like `[data-category-id]`, `.category-item`, and `.folder-item` to build a list of existing categories. When assigning categories, the tool locates each feed's category selector (dropdown or input field), sets the target category value, triggers input and change events (required for React-based forms), and clicks the save button if present. If the category selector is not directly accessible, the tool simulates clicking the "Edit" button, locates the category input in the edit modal, updates it, and saves. A 500ms delay between updates prevents UI congestion and ensures each operation completes. Results can be exported as CSV with proper field quoting for Excel compatibility, or as structured JSON.

THE PANEL

The extension panel is fully draggable and remembers its position per site session. It snaps to the nearest edge of the browser viewport when dragged within 50 pixels of any side. You can collapse the panel to a compact title bar using the minimize button, preserving your selection state. The panel resizes vertically by dragging the bottom edge. Press the Escape key to close the panel instantly. The preview updates in real-time as you select feeds or change the target category.

PLEASE NOTE

This tool requires the free BotGentz extension to function. The script operates by simulating clicks and form submissions on Feedly's interface and does not use Feedly's official API. It only sees feeds that are currently rendered in the page's DOM. For best results, ensure you're on Feedly's feed management page and logged in. Feedly's UI structure may change over time, which could affect feed detection and category assignment flows; we monitor and release compatibility updates as needed. The tool does not store, transmit, or log any feed data, category information, or user activity. All operations occur locally in your browser session. Category changes affect your Feedly feed organization — review the preview carefully before confirming. Export formats include CSV and JSON for maximum compatibility with analysis tools. The "Add Category" feature adds the new category to your Feedly account via the interface.
