When there are new products added to my existing imported categories - do I have to manually import them, or does it sync automatically
When you first connect to the third-party API you will need to manually import the required Categories (and Products) or map the Categories found to an existing Category in the store.
Once imported you can choose to automatically import new Products via a checkbox option.
Example Product and Category Import screen

Using Multiple APIs e.g. Trends and Fashionbiz
