Email Address Configuration

Set the email address where you want to receive your feed updates.

  • Field: Email Address
  • Description: Enter the destination email address for notifications.
  • Example: your.email@example.com

Email Template Customization

You can tailor the Subject and Body of your notification emails using Mustache templates. This allows you to arrange the feed data exactly how you like it.

Available Template Variables

When a new item is found in a feed, you can use the following variables in your templates to access its data:

Variable Description
{{title}} The title of the feed item.
{{link}} The direct URL to the original article or post.
{{description}} A short summary or excerpt of the item. HTML tags within this variable will be escaped (e.g., <b>).
{{content}} The full content of the feed item, which may include HTML. This is also escaped by default.
{{date}} The publication date of the item.

Basic Example

Here’s a simple template to get you started.

Subject Template:

New Post: {{title}}

Body Template:

A new item has been posted:

Title: {{title}}
Link: {{link}}
Published on: {{date}}

Handling HTML Content (Advanced)

RSS feeds often include HTML in their description or content fields for formatting, links, or images.

  • To output the HTML as plain text (escaping tags), use two curly braces: {{description}}.
  • To render the HTML as actual formatted content in your email, use three curly braces {{{content}}} or an ampersand {{& content}}.

This is useful for creating rich, readable emails that preserve the original formatting.

Complete Example

Let’s create a more advanced template that includes a formatted title, a clickable link, and the full, unescaped HTML content.

Sample Feed Item Data:

  • Title: Announcing Our New API
  • Link: https://example.com/blog/new-api
  • Content: Check out our <b>new API</b>! It's a game-changer. <a href="https://example.com/docs">Read the docs here</a>.

Subject Template:

[New Feed] {{title}}

Body Template:

<h1><a href="{{link}}">{{title}}</a></h1>
<p><em>Published on: {{date}}</em></p>
<hr>
<div>
  {{{content}}}
