Podcast Alerts
Alerts for every show you follow. New episode. New episodes usually arrive under two minutes after publish (via PodPing).
Arclo watches a show and posts an announcement when something new appears. The engine, the message editor, the filter rules and the behavior options are the same on every platform. See Social Alerts for those. This page covers what is specific to Podcast.
Adding a show
- Podcast
- Feed URLs and Apple Podcasts links resolve directly; names search the directory. For example:
Feed URL, Apple Podcasts link, or a show name. - Channel
- Where the alert is posted. A forum channel makes each alert its own thread.
