New plugin! RSS feeds plugin 🎉
The RSS feeds plugin 1.0 was released. With this initial version you can set up custom RSS feeds directly from wp-admin and connect to Lists in Dashboard for editors to work with, or use custom algorithms to make them completely automatic and specific for your needs.
The bundled RSS output template presents the Web teaser headline and image (from Writer) to the reader. That with a link back to the web article will encourage clicks and drive traffic to your sites. Custom templates can be built for special purposes.
What are the use cases for the RSS feeds plugin? Automatically post article links to Social media thru automation tools (example: Facebook) by dropping articles to a list in Dashboard. Or post all with high news value automatically.
Many email newsletter services can use RSS feeds as source, making it easy to work with your newsletters as lists in Dashboard.
You can probably think of more possible integrations. Read more about the RSS plugin
