A while back, I was scrolling through Twitter and came across this post:. I was confused—RSS hasn't disappeared. I use it every single day. It's an integral part of my workflow that helps me stay up to date with news, come up with new ideas for content, gather sources to cite in my posts, and keep my inbox clean.
What is RSS? How to use RSS feeds. Keep track of blog posts, YouTube channels, and podcasts. Receive email newsletters in your RSS reader. View social media accounts from an RSS feed. Discover newly-posted jobs. Create email newsletters automatically. Create social media posts automatically. Monitor brand mentions. Do something with what you've read. An RSS Really Simple Syndication feed is an online file that contains details about every piece of content a site has published. Each time a site publishes a new piece of content, details about that content—including the full-text of the content or a summary, publication date, author, link, etc.
Since it's updated with details about every piece of content a site publishes, you can use RSS feeds for things like keeping up to date with every new article your favorite blog publishes or automatically generating email newsletters or social media posts to promote your new content. If you're used to looking at code all day, you might be able to make sense of this as easily as you can read formatted content on a website.
But for the rest of us, this looks like a lot of nonsense. Ten years ago, when RSS was more popular, nearly every website had an RSS icon that linked to its RSS feed, making it easy for people to subscribe via their preferred reader. Today, that's rarely the case, but the absence of an RSS icon on a site doesn't mean you can't get that site's content via RSS: Read our tutorial on how to find the RSS feed for almost any website for more details.
With the right RSS reader app, you can get an RSS feed from just about any blog, podcast, social media account, or email newsletter you want to follow. But RSS works the other way around, too. It doesn't only pull content into an RSS reader; you can use it to push content to sites and apps as well. Or if you want to move forward with Feedly, check out our tutorial on how to add an RSS feed to Feedly. Following your favorite blogs is the simplest way to get started with RSS, but it's just one of the many benefits RSS offers.
Here are eight ways to use RSS feeds to consolidate the information you care about and automate your work. You'll need a Zapier account to use the workflows in this piece.
If you don't have an account yet, it's free to get started. I read a lot of blogs. As a writer, staying up to date on what blogs—in both the industry I work in and those I write about—are publishing is a great way to learn new things, come up with new ideas for topics to write about, and find studies that are worth linking to in the posts I write. Subscribing to the blogs I follow in an RSS reader delivers each of those benefits.
Rather than having to visit each publication's blog individually to see if new content has been published, I see all of the new content from all of the blogs I'm interested in within a single interface in Feedly. When I log in to Feedly, I see a list of all of the sites I follow that have published new content since the last time I reviewed each feed, along with a count of the number of pieces of new content that have been published since my last review. I can click any feed to see the content I haven't reviewed, click through and read any specific piece of content I'm interested in, and then click a Mark All As Read button to clear all of the new articles from Feedly so that the next time I log in, I only see content I haven't viewed before.
But you can use RSS for more than following blogs. You can also use it to see new podcast episodes and new videos posted to your favorite YouTube channels—all from within your RSS reader. Now you will be ready to design your email newsletter in a representable format to send to your readers. Email Design has to be perfect.

Your email address will not be published. However, we do need to make sure that the URL is in the right format, so we'll create our own variable to make it so.
Once run, we'll end up with an encoded URL surrounded by apostrophes, which is what the EmbedData service expects. Technically, this could be any SharePoint site you have access to, but since we'll be posting news articles to our home site, we'll just stick with that. We're passing along the encoded URL we created in the last step, specifying version 1 which is required, despite their only being one version and we're asking for the bannerImageUrl to be included otherwise we're not getting.
Finally, to make things a bit easier to use in a moment, we'll capture the output of this request into a variable using the Initialize Variable action again, like so. Now that we've got just about everything we can get, we need to put into the format that SharePoint expects when creating a News Link item, so it's time to prepare our payload using the Compose action.
It's a fairly simply and mostly self-explanatory bit of JSON, so we won't dwell on it much. Below is the exact JSON used in the above screenshot. Our headers are only slightly more involved. Our endpoint is expecting to receive and will return JSON, so we need to include the appropriate headers Last but not least, we need to include the Output of the compose action we created in the previous step so that SharePoint knows what we're sharing.
At this point, you're done developing. The only thing left to do is wait, really. Once new items are published to the RSS feed, you'll eventually see them start showing up in your News web parts!
