RSS.app offers a range of features to help you customize your Telegram alerts for a personalized experience.
Changing the Source

Applying Filters
Filters allow you to refine your feed so that you're only getting the content that's most relevant to you. Click on Filter Feed to access the following settings.
Global Filter
You can toggle this button to enable/disable filters that apply across all of your feeds.
Auto Hide Posts
No images: Hide posts without images.
No description: Hide posts without descriptions.
No dates: Hide posts without dates.
No secure links: Hide posts without secure links.
Duplicate description: Hide posts with identical descriptions.

Clean Title
This feature removes certain terms or website names from the post title. It's helpful if you want to make the title cleaner and more relevant to the content itself.
Enable Auto-Cleaner: If enabled, it will automatically clean up post titles based on the keywords you’ve defined.
Automatically Hide Posts Older Than
You can set a time limit for how long posts remain visible before they are automatically hidden. Choose to hide posts older than a certain number of days or hours.
Whitelist
This allows you to filter posts based on keywords that must appear in the content to be included in the feed.
Blacklist
Similar to the whitelist, the blacklist lets you filter out posts containing specific keywords. If a post contains any of the blacklisted terms, it will be hidden.
Replace or Remove Text
This section allows you to replace or remove specific words, phrases, or URLs from the posts before they appear in your Telegram alerts.
Changing Settings
These settings allow you to tailor what's included in your Slack Alerts.

To make your bot more recognizable and fit your team’s style:
Bot Name: Enter the name you want the bot to display in Slack.
Avatar: Insert a URL or upload it from your computer.
Customize the Card Elements
RSS.app allows you to control which elements appear in the Slack alert. Under the Card Elements section, you can toggle each content type:

Link in Title: Choose whether the title is clickable and links directly to the source.
Description: Include or exclude the post’s description in the alert.

Customize Embed Message Color
The Embed Message Color option allows you to change the color of the alert message by inputting a hex code or visually select a color using the interface.
Post Only URLs
If you want your Slack alerts to only display the URLs without additional information, toggle the Post Only URLs option on.
