how to use RSS feed in email

Hey @pankaj,

Similar to most email providers, Klaviyo emails are written in HTML. As previously mentioned in this thread, Klaviyo uses Django for template tags and filters.

Hello Group!

I know this thread is OLD but I can’t find any updated information - the help on this is the worst!  Does anyone have a video of the NEW EDITOR getting this work?  I hate reading help section with no real complete examples of coding and syntax.

I was able to setup the “WebFeeds”  but after that adding to a creative is a no go.

If someone could just post some complete code (HTML) that I can see and test and I can figure it out from there.

Good Day Group,

I have it working now. 

Hey @EMail1Dude can you plz share the solution how you have fixed it.

@Uppli give me a little time to go back and look.  I was never able to fully get it working as I needed and thus moved to a different platform because of it.  I’ll go back to my tests and post what I was able to get working.

@Uppli 
I was not able to get a working RSS feed to display images. I did find this link that has some good information though. https://www.webmarked.net/how-to-email-blog-articles-using-klaviyo-and-smart-rss-feed/

I have learned that each RSS feed I try, as noted in some of the help articles, a lot has to do with the formatting of the output of the feed.

It also looks like they updated some content on this help page: https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005258768

You first need to “Setup you feed”.  Next add the feed to the “email” in the “Display Options” of a “Text” box.  Once you have done that go back to the “Styles” tab and enter your variables as needed to display rss content.  This is the tricky part as it depends on the feed info.  Referring to the top link info, click on the </> when viewing in the “Styles” tab.  This will take you to the HTML of this section.  Add this:

<p><a href="{{ item.url }}">{{ item.title }}</a></p>

<p><img src="{{ item|lookup:'media:content'|lookup:'@url' }}" /></p>

<p>{{ item.description|slice:':255' }} <a href="{{ item.url }}">Read More</a></p>

I’ve tried a few different feeds and was not able to get an image to display.  I’m sure it’s something silly I’m just missing but I’ll continue to play around with it and update as I find new-working info.

If anyone out there has all this working, please list the feed you are using and the HTML used to get images to show etc. so we can clone and then take it from there.
