RSS

Tracking data you actually care about shouldn't require opening a dozen browser tabs. Connect your RSS feeds to Klipfolio and pull news, updates, and content streams into a single, automatically refreshing dashboard.

What is an RSS feeds dashboard?

An RSS feeds dashboard is a centralized view that aggregates content from multiple RSS feed URLs, displaying headlines, summaries, and links in real time without manual refreshes.

How to connect RSS feeds to Klipfolio

Connecting an RSS feed takes about four steps. You'll need the URL of any RSS feed you want to display.

1. Open the Service Connectors page in Klipfolio and select RSS Feeds.
2. Retrieve your RSS feed URL. Navigate to the news source or site you want to track, scroll to the bottom of the page, and select RSS. If no RSS link appears, search the site name plus "RSS" in your browser. Copy the URL from the resulting page.
3. Paste the URL into the URL field on the New Data Source page. Set Data Format to XML and Method to GET, then click Get data.
4. Confirm and save. Review the returned data, optionally model your data source, click Continue, name your data source, set a refresh schedule, and click Save.

Sample RSS feed URLs to get you started:

• Google News: https://news.google.com/news?cf=all&hl=en&pz=1&ned=ca&output=rss
• CBC Top Stories: https://www.cbc.ca/webfeed/rss/rss-topstories
• BBC World News: http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/world/rss.xml#

Top reasons to use Klipfolio for RSS feed dashboards

Before switching tabs again, consider what a connected dashboard actually gives you:

• Everything in one place. Pull feeds from news, industry blogs, or internal sources into a single view so your team stops hunting across sites.
• Automatic refreshes. Klipfolio retrieves updated feed content on a schedule you set, from one minute to 24 hours, so your dashboard always reflects the latest content.
• Fully customizable layouts. Arrange feeds alongside KPIs, charts, and other data sources. Display your RSS dashboard on a TV screen, share it via public link, or embed it in another tool.
• No manual exports. Once connected, the feed updates without any action on your part.
