RSS Feed Guidelines

With Hushly and RSS Feed working together it is possible to distribute up-to-date content and add articles as Assets, that can be used in Experience and Hubs. You should be aware of these guidelines while creating RSS Feeds.

Before you Begin:

• Copy the RSS feed URL from the blog's page source to create RSS feeds in Hushly.
  
  
• Once the RSS Feed URL is created in Hushly, it cannot be changed.
  
  
• With Hushly, you will be able to pull the full blog posts, including images, into your Hub. The maximum number of posts that you can pull into Hushly is 200.
  
  
• Hushly allows you to activate and pause the RSS Feed blog post.
  
  
• In an RSS feed, if the blog does not expose the image thumbnail, the system cannot generate or pull it during syncing. For thumbnails to be correctly fetched, the RSS feed should include the <media:thumbnail> tag.

Importing and Updating RSS Feeds:

• Hushly copies all the content that is provided in the RSS Feed URL and imports it into the Content Tab.
  
  
• The Original blog post must still be available in the RSS Feed to update or import other articles.
  
  
• In Hushly's RSS Feeds Page, the Last Synced column displays the last successful update date, and the No of entries reflects the count of Assets that got created.
  
  
• Hushly initiates an hourly job that checks the RSS feed connected to a Blog Stream for updates made or newly added posts in the feed.
  • When a new article is added to the Blog Stream, a new asset gets created in Hushly.
  • When an existing article is updated in the Blog Stream, the asset gets updated accordingly.
    
    
• If the Last Synced column is more recent on the RSS Feeds page, it is assumed that the RSS Feed is updated to the latest.
  
  
• If you delete the original blog post, the imported item will not be deleted.
