RSS Data Feed not rendering in Campaign – Web Feed option missing from Campaign Settings

Hi everyone,

I’m struggling with an RSS integration from Substack and could use some expert eyes. I have successfully set up my Data Feed under Settings > Data Feeds, and the preview there shows the correct XML/JSON data from my Substack URL.

However, I cannot get the feed to render within my campaign. Here is what I’ve found:

  1. Missing Web Feed Option: In my Campaign "Tracking & Settings" page, there is no "Web Feed" dropdown menu available at all. I only see the tracking parameters.

  2. Editor Limitation: I can only find the "Data Feed" icon (the radio tower) when I switch to the "HTML ONLY" editor. In the Drag-and-Drop editor, the option is completely absent from the top bar and the sidebar.

  3. The Issue: Even when I am in the HTML editor, select the correct feed via the icon, and use the correct syntax (e.g., {{ feeds.Substack_Feed.entries.0.title }}), the preview remains empty.

  4. Steps taken: * Verified the feed URL is public.

    • Switched between XML and JSON content types in the feed settings.

    • Ensured the feed name in the code matches the Feed ID.

    • Tried cloning the campaign to see if it was a "Regular" vs "RSS" campaign issue, but the cloned version still lacks the Web Feed settings.

Has anyone encountered a situation where the Web Feed option is simply missing from the campaign settings?
Is there a specific account-level "flag" that needs to be enabled for the new editor to recognize data feeds?

I nowhere see any RSS option when creating a campaing or flow.
It’s just visible in the html editor of a campaign.
 

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Warmly,
Simon

Hello Simon. 


Try creating the campaign using the classic/legacy editor instead of the new drag-and-drop editor, as RSS/Data Feed support is currently limited there, and then reselect the feed in the HTML editor to check if the variables start rendering properly.

All the best,
