In a nutshell
Anything that reads RSS can use the feed to tell you when we publish something new.
- Copy the address.
https://flowsign.app/feed.xml - Or open the feed. Select the RSS icon beside the search box on the blog. The feed opens in a new tab.
That means new posts can land in a Slack channel, go out as an email or sit in your feed reader, without anyone checking the blog.
Post new articles to Slack
Slack has a free RSS app. Once it is added to your workspace, it can post each new article to any channel.
- Add the RSS app from the Slack app directory.
- Open the channel you want updates in.
- Paste
/feed subscribe https://flowsign.app/feed.xmland send it.
A channel for tool updates works well here. Your team hears about new features and guides in the same place they already talk about how they work.
Send new articles by email
Email tools such as Mailchimp can turn a feed into an email. In Mailchimp this is an RSS campaign: you give it the feed address and it sends a summary whenever a new post appears.
You choose how often it goes out, daily, weekly or monthly, and which list receives it. Other newsletter tools, like Buttondown, offer the same thing.
Follow in a feed reader
Feed readers like Feedly, Inoreader and NetNewsWire collect updates from many sites in one place. Paste https://flowsign.app/feed.xml into the reader's add or follow box.
Most readers also find the feed if you paste the blog address itself, https://flowsign.app/blog.
What the feed includes
Every post appears in the feed, newest first. Each entry has:
- The title and a short summary.
- The category, author and publish date.
- A link to the full article.
