RSS Feeds
Alerts for every feed you follow. New item. New items typically land within a few minutes. Faster for busy feeds.
Arclo watches a feed 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 RSS Feeds.
Adding a feed
- Feed URL
- Any RSS or Atom feed. A site URL works too, the feed is auto-discovered. For example:
https://example.com/feed.xml. - Channel
- Where the alert is posted. A forum channel makes each alert its own thread.
