RSS feed
Use the RSS feed option to insert an RSS feed into email messages (view example). To insert a feed, follow the steps below:
-
Use the fields panel to insert an RSS feed field. A content window is displayed, which is similar to the template editor but it is only used to add RSS fields.
-
In the content window, click the fields button to open the fields panel. The RSS feed field is a composite field, which means it is comprised of multiple fields; by default, these fields are RSS Title and RSS Description, however you can add additional elements using fields shown here (view example).
-
Add any RSS fields that you wish to include in the template.
-
Click OK to return to the template editor.
-
Select the newly inserted field and check the properties pane - properties for the feed are shown (view example).
