Our RSS integration allows you to pull content from your favorite sources — news outlets, online publications, internal tools, blogs, and more — into Employee Community in real time via the sources' RSS feeds. 

Once set up, new content from the article source will post in Employee Community just like the posts your team members share. We'll walk you through the steps to get all set up. 

  1. Click the gear icon at the top, right-hand of your screen. 

  2. Select Account Settings from the menu.

  3. Then, click Integrations in the page menu. 

Configure your RSS integrations.

  1. Beneath Add an Inbound Integration, click the orange RSS icon. This will unfurl all the RSS setup fields.

  2. Paste the RSS URL from your content source in the Feed URL field. 

  3. Then, in the Post to Topic field, choose the topic in which you'd like your content source's posts to publish. 

  4. If you'd like, use the Daily Post Limit toggle and field to select the maximum number of posts published from your content source each day. 

  5. Lastly, use the Backfill Count field to select how many — if any — previously published posts you'd like to share to the Employee Community. Once set up, these will import immediately. 

  6. Once you're happy with your settings, click the blue Create Integration button.  

Manage your RSS integrations. 

If at any point you'd like to edit or delete your RSS integrations, here's how...

  1. Click the gear icon at the top, right-hand of your screen. 

  2. Select Account Settings from the menu.

  3. Then, click Integrations in the page menu. 

  4. On the left, beneath Inbound Integrations, you'll see your list of active integrations. 

  5. Use the toggle next to each to disable the integration or use the settings cog to edit or permanently delete the integration. 

Manage all RSS integrations in your organization.

If you are an Employee Community admin, you have the ability to manage all RSS integrations set up in your organization, no matter who configured them. To do so...

  1. Click the gear icon at the top, right-hand of your screen. 

  2. Select Admin from the menu.

  3. Then, click Integrations in the page menu. 

  4. Beneath Inbound Integrations, you'll see your list of active integrations. 

  5. Use the toggle next to each to disable the integration or use the settings cog to edit or permanently delete the integration.
