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
Navigate to the Feed Overview page.
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. Select your Slack channel from the dropdown. If you don’t see it listed, you can now add it manually using the Channel ID field.
Customize Your Feed
In Alert Overview, you have options to modify source and apply filters to tailor the feed to your needs.
