# tr-import-url — Import from a URL

Source: [tr-import-url — Import from a URL](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-import-url/)

> Import content from Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, static HTML or any URL into your Typeroll site.

**Triggers on:** “import from Squarespace/Wix/Webflow”, “copy content from”, “rebuild this site”, any non-WordPress URL the user points at

For WordPress sources, use [tr-migrate-wp](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-migrate-wp/) instead.

## What it does

[Section titled “What it does”](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-import-url/#what-it-does)

1. Fetches the source site’s homepage and sitemap to build a URL inventory
2. Learns the target Typeroll site’s design (settings, partials, example pages)
3. Fetches each source page, strips platform-specific classes and structure, transfers images
4. Creates pages as **drafts** in the target site
5. Creates redirects from old URLs to new slugs
6. Shows a preview for review
7. Publishes and deploys after approval

## Platform notes

[Section titled “Platform notes”](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-import-url/#platform-notes)

### Squarespace

[Section titled “Squarespace”](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-import-url/#squarespace)

* Content is inside `.content-wrapper` or `[data-section-theme]` blocks
* Images are usually high-res originals — they transfer well
* Strip all Squarespace JSON-LD (it’s their own schema)
* Gallery blocks → the AI agent converts to CSS grid with `<img>` tags

### Wix

[Section titled “Wix”](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-import-url/#wix)

* Check what each public page returns; JavaScript and access restrictions can limit direct fetching
* the AI agent will ask you for an HTML export or take screenshots as reference
* Screenshots are layout references, not a substitute for text and original media

### Webflow

[Section titled “Webflow”](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-import-url/#webflow)

* Usually fetchable with clean HTML output
* Classes like `w-container`, `w-row`, `w-col-*` are stripped
* Webflow CMS items are server-rendered and appear in the HTML

### Static HTML

[Section titled “Static HTML”](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-import-url/#static-html)

* Often the cleanest import — fetch, strip nav/footer, keep body
* Table-based layouts (pre-2010 sites) get converted to CSS grid

See the separate guides for [Squarespace](https://typeroll.com/docs/guides/migrate-from-squarespace/), [Wix](https://typeroll.com/docs/guides/migrate-from-wix/) and [Webflow](https://typeroll.com/docs/guides/migrate-from-webflow/) for migration scope, exclusions and review steps.

## Example prompts

but adapt them to our current Typeroll design.
```

```plaintext
Rebuild this Wix site in Typeroll: https://acme.wixsite.com/studio
Here are the screenshots I exported.

## What gets stripped

[Section titled “What gets stripped”](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-import-url/#what-gets-stripped)

* Platform-specific CSS classes (`sqsrte-*`, `wf-*`, `elementor-*`, `fl-*`, `divi-*`, `vc_*`)
* `<style>` blocks from the source (they reference external fonts and classes that don’t exist in Typeroll)
* Analytics and tracking scripts (set those via site settings → `scripts_head`)
* Cookie banners, chat widgets, nav/header/footer

## What gets kept

[Section titled “What gets kept”](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-import-url/#what-gets-kept)

* All semantic HTML: `<h1>`–`<h6>`, `<p>`, `<ul>`, `<ol>`, `<img>`, `<a>`, `<table>`, `<blockquote>`, `<figure>`
* YouTube and Vimeo `<iframe>` embeds
* Images (transferred through Typeroll’s media storage)
* Text content and structure

Caution

Forms from Squarespace/Wix are vendor-locked and won’t work after import. the AI agent will create new Typeroll forms in their place.

## Drafts first, always

[Section titled “Drafts first, always”](https://typeroll.com/docs/skills/tr-import-url/#drafts-first-always)

All imported pages start as `status: "draft"`. The AI agent shows you a preview and asks for approval before publishing. This gives you a chance to review the content before it goes live.
