how to use RSS feed in email

@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/115005258768You 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

how to use RSS feed in email

@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.

This feed also: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.xml  I noticed it has a <![CDATA[ tag - is there a filter to render this?  The ...|stiptags work but only shows text and not images.I found a snippet of code that almost works to display an image, the image will not show up but it does add the correct link to the image.<div>{% for item in feeds.NHC_Graphical_Tropical_Weather_Outlooks.rss.channel.item|slice:":+1" %}<table style="display: inline-block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 18px; width: 150px;"><a href="{{ item.link }}"> <img style="margin: 1px; width: 150px; height: 150px;" src="{% if item|lookup:'media:content'|lookup:'0'|lookup:'@url' %}{{ item|lookup:'media:content'|lookup:'0'|lookup:'@url' }}{% else %}{{ item|lookup:'media:content'|lookup:'@url' }}{% endif %}" /></a></td></tr></tbody></table>{% endfor %}</div>

@dgibbs Thank you!  As for limit of feeds, I’m not sure but I have a lot of them, BUT non of them are “actively” being used so not sure if Active vs Inactive makes a difference. Here is a list of the feeds I’ve setup for usage once we figure out how to implement.

@dgibbs I know, this is a lot more involved to setup an RSS feed than I thought it would be, but getting through it little by little as there is not much info on the web on coding/syntax etc..  With that said I was able to get some of it to display, see below. The “Repeat for” is feeds.NHC_Graphical_Tropical_Weather_Outlooks.rss.channel.item|slice:':+1'Hope that helps @dgibbs so you can figure it out! :-)Soooo, once we figure this out the next step is to setup a flow, BUT only send it when the RSS feed is updated. :-)

@dgibbs I knew it would be a simple tag issue, Thank you!Now the real feed I’m trying to get working is from the National Hurricane Center (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutrss.shtml )  Most of the RSS feeds are about the same for the most part but this is the main one ( Graphical Tropical Weather Outlooks: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.xml )  It has links and images so this is a good one to get working. I was able to display content by adding your filter suggestion “|striptags”  but I’m still missing info from the feed. I hard coded the top Image, but would like to pull that in dynamically from the feed.  Also in the feed are images I’d like to display also, any ideas?I have the same RSS setup in Mailchimp and it just works, all I had to do is enter the rss feed and it did the rest and worked perfectly.

Hello, I’m working on using an RSS feed and I’m having some issue with rendering the content.  Using this article: https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005258768 I have it setup and working except for the feed displays HTML for ITEM output. Title displays fine it’s just the content for the ITEMs display in HTML, see image. I know it’s something simple but I just can’t fine the coding snippet to make it display correctly.

how to use RSS feed in email

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. Title Description Image Date   Thank you -Eric Good Day Group,I have it working now.
