Notification Feeds
Use Feeds to automatically ingest fresh content from your sources and power targeted, timely Notifications
Navigate to the Notifications page and click the arrow to the right of Schedule Notification. You will see an option to Create Feed
Name your Feed, select the appropriate Feed Type (RSS, JSON, or XML), and input the Feed URL where the platform will pull articles from. Make sure you set the Feed Status toggle to active so the Feed can begin processing new content. If you would not like to send notifications to your users, keep the Feed Status toggle as Inactive
Set the Publishing Mode to Auto Publish if you want Notifications created from the Feed to be automatically queued and sent when new content is available. If you prefer to review each Notification before it is sent, select Create as Draft so Notifications remain in a draft state until you approve them. Keep the setting at Auto Publish if you do not want to manually review and publish each Notification.
If you use Pushly for both web and app support, you will have the option to select for which channels the Feed is intended
Select the audience Segment you want the Feed to send to. If you want the Feed to send to a specific Segment, create that Segment before configuring the Feed so it appears as an option in the dropdown. If you do not select a specific Segment, the Feed will send to All Subscribers by default.
Set the Delivery Strategy to control when and how often notifications are created from the Feed
ASAP
Create a notification every time a new article is discovered, as long as a previous notification has already been sent based on the specified send frequency.
Fixed Time
Schedule one notification per day at the specified Send Time in the domain time zone. If no new article is found at that time, the system continues checking for up to 1 hour after the Send Time
Subscriber Time Zone
Schedule a notification at the specified Send Time in each subscriber’s time zone. To support all time zones, the article is selected at least 24 hours before the Send Time
Choose the Send Time and Send Days to define the exact time and days of the week when notifications from this Feed should be delivered
Configure Pre-Schedule to determine how far in advance a notification is created before its Send Time.
For example, if the Send Time is 2:00 PM and Pre-Schedule is set to 15 minutes, the notification is created at 1:45 PM and scheduled to deliver at 2:00 PM.
Apply Holiday Filters if relevant to your use case so notifications are not sent on certain holidays
None
No Holidays are applied and the feed can be configured to send notifications irrespective of holiday schedule
Country
Select from a list of countries you would like to align the holidays from
Financial/ Bank
NYSE: Uses NYSE market holidays, which cover all major US exchanges including NASDAQ.
European Central Bank: Uses Trans-European market holidays, which cover Euro-based exchanges.
Set Notification Lifespan to control how long the system will continue attempting to deliver a notification to a subscriber
Domain Default: Use the current default lifespan configured in Domain Settings.
Custom: Specify a custom lifespan that applies to all notifications created by this Feed.
In Notification Fields, add or remove fields as needed and apply constraints to pull specific content from the Feed based on criteria such as Keywords, URL parameters, or other metadata. This allows you to fine tune which articles or items are eligible to generate Notifications from the Feed
The Page Analysis toggle, when enabled, will attempt to fetch and override the feed’s notification content from the landing URL’s metadata. This will include the Title, Body, Image and Keywords tagged for the landing URL
