What is an RSS feed and how does it work?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a standardized format that allows users to receive automatic updates from a website or digital platform. In email marketing, an RSS feed enables your subscribers to stay updated with your latest newsletters without manually checking their inbox.

WHY USE IT

Benefits of an RSS feed for newsletters

  • Automated content distribution

    Your latest newsletters are published in your RSS feed automatically, so subscribers receive updates without delay.

  • Increased subscriber engagement

    RSS gives your audience an additional way to stay connected to your content.

  • Better email deliverability

    Because subscribers can also read content in an RSS reader, it reduces the risk of updates being lost in spam folders.

  • Integration with other platforms

    Embed the feed on websites, share it on social media, or connect it to third-party tools for seamless distribution.
