Learn how to add RSS feeds to Slack

Updated this week

Adding RSS feeds to Slack helps teams stay updated on important news, blog posts, or industry trends without leaving their workspace.

Prerequisites

Integrate Slack into RSS.app

  1. Navigate to the Feed Overview page.

  2. Locate and click on the Slack button, found on the right side.

3. If this is your first time setting up a Slack bot, a modal will appear for authorization. Enter your workspace Slack UTL and click Continue.

4. Ensure the bot has permissions to access workspace and click Allow.

5. Choose the specific text channel within your Slack workspace where the bot will post updates.

Customize Your Feed

Back on the “Feed Overview” page, you have options to modify sources, bundles, and apply filters to tailor the feed to your needs.

Settings Overview

Bot settings

Add a custom name and avatar for the bot.

Card Elements:

Adjust settings for message previews, including color customization.

Private channel

To send posts to a private channel, you need to add our bot to it.


Open Channel Details > Integrations > Add an app > Add News Alerts (our bot) to the channel. Shortly after that, you should be able to choose a private channel.

History and Testing

Check the history to see when and how many updates the bot has sent. Click on Send Test on the top right of the screen to verify the bot's integration.
