RSS

When adding RSS feeds it is important to check if the feed is one of the currently supported formats:

  • RSS (0.90 to 2.0)
  • Atom (0.3 to 1.0)
  • JSON (1.0 to 1.1)

There is first-class support for the Apple iTunes extension, which you can use when formatting messages.

Adding

To add a feed, you can use /rss in Discord or the Web Dashboard. During this process, it will be validated to work as expected. If any errors arise, please refer to Common Issues.
