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 filters and the behaviour 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.
