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 filters and the behaviour 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.
