Easily follow websites that don’t have RSS feeds

No RSS? No problem. You can now build your own feeds in Feedly for websites without RSS.

You already follow your favorite blogs, news sites, research journals, and more in Feedly. But when you come upon a site without an RSS option, what do you do? Manually opening separate tabs and remembering to check the RSS-less sites can get tedious and confusing. And some of the RSS builder tools out there can feel intimidating and complicated, especially if you already do all your reading and research inside Feedly.

That’s why we’re so excited to announce Feedly’s new RSS Builder. You can now create your own feeds for websites that don’t offer RSS and follow them in Feedly.

When a website doesn’t offer an RSS feed, you’ll automatically get the option to build your own RSS feed in Feedly.

The RSS Builder feature solves one of the big problems our team used to have: they had trusted and favorite sources with no way to get in Feedly. Instead of having to look into multiple places like before, they can now follow all their favorite websites in one single place on Feedly!

Product Integration Manager, Feedly Enterprise User

Choose the articles you want to get in Feedly

When you try to follow a website that doesn’t offer RSS, you used to hit a dead end. Now, you’ll see the option to build your own RSS feed, and the RSS Builder will walk you through the simple steps to add a website without RSS to your Feedly.

First, choose the articles you want to get through RSS. When you open the RSS builder, you’ll get a preview of the web page. Scroll down the page, find the section of articles you’re interested in, and click on the articles you want to get in Feedly (such as the “latest posts” section of a company’s blog). Then, click ‘Build RSS feed.’ You’ll be prompted to add your new source to an existing Feed in Feedly. Add it to an existing Feed, or create a new Feed in which to organize your new source.

That’s it! You have officially built an RSS feed from scratch. Congrats.

 In the preview of the website, select the articles you want to get in Feedly. In this example, we selected articles from Fintastico’s Fintech Radar blog.

Feedly continuously updates your new RSS source

Articles from this new source (that you’ve created with the RSS Builder) will now get sent to your Feedly regularly. This source will behave like any other source in Feedly, and Leo, your AI research assistant, can assist you in the same way he’d be able to do on any other source: he can find the topics in article, deduplicate articles, summarize articles, or mute topics you don’t want to get in Feedly. 

Your shiny new source in Feedly! Articles from this new source will appear in your Feedly just like any other blog, website, or news source.

Easily read, annotate, or save articles from this RSS source

Now that you’ve used the RSS Builder to bring these articles into Feedly, you can read, annotate, save, or share articles just like content from any other source. Add Notes or Highlights to your reading to come back to later, or save an article to a designated Board to keep articles on a certain topic. You can share through integrations with social media sharing platforms, email, or Zapier. 

Add Notes, Highlights, or tag teammates (if you’re on an Enterprise plan) like any other article in Feedly.

Feedly can become a place for all news sources I want, and I can select the sources of information in a more granular way instead of waiting for sources to have an RSS.

FAQs about building RSS feeds for websites without RSS

What is RSS?

RSS stands for really simple syndication. When a website offers an RSS feed, it makes content available in a file format that an RSS feed reader (like Feedly) can use to fetch the content so you can read it in real time. Until now, when a website didn’t offer RSS feeds, Feedly was unable to aggregate content from this RSS-less website into your Feedly.

How do I start building an RSS feed for a website that doesn’t offer RSS?

To create an RSS feed for a website without RSS, click on the ‘+’ button in the left navigation bar. In the ‘Websites’ tab, paste the website URL that you want to follow. You’ll automatically see the option to build an RSS feed. Click ‘Build RSS feed’ and follow the steps.

What Feedly plan do I need to access the RSS Builder feature?

The RSS Builder is available for users on Pro+ or Enterprise plans. Try it out.

Is there a limit to the amount of RSS feeds I can build?

You can create up to 25 RSS feeds in the Pro+ plan and up to 100 RSS feeds in the Enterprise plan with the RSS Builder tool.

Can I ask Leo to mute concepts in a source created with the RSS Builder?

Yes, you can create the same logic on top of sources you’ve built with the RSS Builder as you would on any other type of source. Ask Leo to mute concepts or keywords you don’t want to see in your Feed. 

Are there any sites I can’t follow with the RSS Builder?

While we try our best to allow you to follow any sites with RSS Builder, these sites are currently not available to build RSS feeds: 

1. Social media sites: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter (although you can get Tweets in Feedly with a Pro+ or Enterprise plan)

2. Websites that render content dynamically using JavaScript

3. Websites that don’t have links / URLs to fetch from

The RSS builder works best with sites that have an organized list of links, like a blog or list of articles. Sites that have a jumble of disorganized links (or no links on the page) aren’t easy to turn into RSS feeds. However, supporting this type of non-linear website changes is on our roadmap for the RSS Builder.

Can I use the RSS Builder on the Feedly mobile app?

Right now, the RSS Builder is only available on Feedly’s web app. However, you can still build RSS feeds on the web, and read them in your mobile app.

Is the RSS Builder available in Safari?

Unfortunately, the RSS Builder doesn’t work in Safari at this time, because Safari blocks all script execution without allow-scripts. If you’re a Safari user, you can use a different browser (like Chrome) to build your RSS feeds, and then continue to read in Feedly in your normal browser.

What should I do if I have more questions about the RSS Builder feature? 

Find even more answers to your RSS Builder questions in the Feedly Knowledge base, which we update regularly as the feature improves. And if you still need help, reach out to our customer support team. We’d love to help you out.

How an Australian energy provider stays on top of critical cyber threats with Feedly

Case Study
This analyst team designed AI-powered security Feeds in Feedly that proactively alert them about specific topics, threats, and threat actors

Impact
box icon

Discovered a supply chain data breach a week before the public announcement

chart icon

Able to monitor hundreds of suppliers for breaches

target icon

Detected a critical vulnerability within 2 hours of its release and patched it immediately

This Feedly for Cybersecurity client has graciously allowed us to share their story on the condition of anonymity. Client names have been changed.

THE CUSTOMER
This energy provider “helps keep the lights on for customers”

Started using Feedly Cybersecurity: 2020

This Feedly client plays a critical role across the Australian energy sector. In tandem with other market players, they help protect Australia’s national energy supply from cyber attacks. “We help keep the lights on for customers,” says Joe, Cybersecurity Threat Analyst.

THE CHALLENGE
Cybersecurity threat intelligence at human speed is no longer sustainable

The onslaught of information

The world of cyber threat tracking runs on a different clock than human speed. The firehose of cyber news makes it hard for our client’s security analysts to find the signal through the noise. Analysts like Joe and his team struggled to keep up with the onslaught of information. Joe used to manage his own personal spreadsheet of 350 sources of information, which he ranked by tiers based on how trusted they were. But the amount of screen time required to keep up with incoming information and identify trends was unsustainable. “The cyber world is like drinking from a firehose in terms of the information we see,” says Joe.

There’s this concept of cyber time. Last week’s issue is like three years ago. We’re so swamped with information, we don’t have time to dive deep on a lot of stuff.”

– Joe, Cybersecurity Threat Analyst

Ever-changing types of attacks and attackers

As cyber threats and ransomware crews become increasingly sophisticated, the human ability to monitor the cyber threat landscape falls behind. No matter how knowledgeable you are, cybersecurity at human speed can’t keep up with ransomware crews using increasingly complex software to manage their operations. 

For companies like this energy provider, the stakes are high. “If they encrypt our environment, we can’t supply energy to customers,” says Joe. 

A data breach of even the smallest of our client’s vendors could put them at risk, so Joe and his team needed a way to keep an eye on even the smallest of breaches. 

THE SOLUTION
Using AI to flag specific cyber attacks, threats, and vulnerabilities

The analyst team at this company needed better tools to help leverage their time and attention and stop doing manual research. Joe’s team had been using Feedly to aggregate information for years. But when his boss, Oliver, Cyber Security Manager, found out that Feedly’s cybersecurity-specific plan could use AI to flag cyber attacks, threats, and vulnerabilities, they knew they had to try it. 

Organizing their security sources into focused Feeds 

Oliver created Feeds around three main focus areas: renewable energy sources + cybersecurity, critical vulnerabilities, and supply chain threats. 

The team selected sources of information they trusted to track cybersecurity news. Not all articles from their trusted sources concern the energy sector. To filter out cybersecurity news unrelated to the energy sector, they configured Leo, Feedly’s AI research assistant, to flag articles about the specific areas they care about.

“Before using Leo, we had very generic Feeds. We were just looking for energy and cybersecurity news in our region. But over time, I’ve been able to nuance our requirements over supply chain attacks, like Solar Winds.”

Tracking ransomware in the energy space

For example, the analyst team has always tracked news at the intersection of cybersecurity and the energy sector. But once they started using Feedly for Cybersecurity, they created a Leo Priority to flag articles that cover ransomware in the energy industry.

The team created a Leo Priority to flag articles about ransomware and the energy industry.

Tracking supply chain attacks

“We were concerned about the supply chain risk for our company,” says Joe. “We talked to our internal procurement team to really understand our top 30 providers, with whom we spend millions of dollars.”

To track supply chain risks, the team selected the exact vendors they work with and created a personalized stream of intelligence to track risks coming from their supply chain. “We were able to turn the list of our top partners into a Leo Priority and ask him to flag cyber attacks targeting those partners,” explains Joe. 

The analyst team used the “Leo company lists” feature to track a list of 650 suppliers — from Microsoft to small law offices. Leo now flags articles about cyber attacks on those companies.  

With a Priority in place, Leo flags articles about data breaches related to any of the company’s suppliers, so they’ll know when one of the companies in their supply chain is breached or attacked. Leo recognizes most of these names as companies, so he can differentiate if an attack is about Amazon (company) vs. Amazon (the river), for example.

Pushing articles to Slack to share with the local intelligence community 

Beyond their internal intelligence team, Joe and Oliver share information across several platforms with peer organizations cybersecurity teams around the globe. 

When members of Joe’s team save articles to the “Attacks in Energy Sector” Board, they automatically get pushed to a designated channel in Slack.

Joe and Oliver add critical articles to a specific Feedly Board. They’ve connected the Board to the collaboration platforms, so when Joe or his teammates add articles to the Board, their security community will automatically see critical updates. 

The analyst team can add Notes when they save articles to their “Attacks in Energy Sector” Board, and those notes will show up in the designated Slack channel.

THE RESULTS
Staying ahead of the curve

In October 2020, thanks to the work Joe had done to create Priorities based on their top 30 suppliers, his team proactively identified a data breach from one of their vendors. 

“Thanks to my supply chain Priority in Feedly, we identified that one of our vendors had been breached a week before the company actually officially told us.”

This proactive alerting allowed Joe’s team to inform procurement areas and monitor leak sites to see if any sensitive material had been published. Luckily none had been released, and the issue eventually went away.

In March 2021, Joe checked his Feedly in the morning as usual, and found an F5 breach within two hours of the breach itself. “I was sitting at my desk, and I saw the F5 vulnerability pop up in Feedly. I pushed it out to management, and then there was a massive effort to patch that problem within two days, which was awesome.” 

I was sitting at my desk, and I saw the F5 vulnerability pop up in Feedly. I pushed it out to management, and then there was a massive effort to patch that problem within two days, which was awesome.”

Avoiding information overload

When a vulnerability is exposed, “information overload goes up — you can see how the malware reporting goes up associated with that particular vulnerability” says Joe. In response to an exposed vulnerability, there’s a corresponding increase in exploits. That’s where Feedly comes in. Instead of wading through pages of articles about vulnerabilities and exploits that don’t concern his company, Joe can use Leo to surface vulnerabilities and exploits relevant to them.

“And that’s the power of Feedly. Using the smarts, intelligence, and Leo’s natural language processing to align vulnerabilities with exploits. What pops out at the end is what you need to know, what you need to take action on. Not the noise.”

What’s next: expanding the supply chain tracking 

In late 2020, the analyst team discovered that a smaller supplier was attacked after using a tool with an unpatched vulnerability. Criminals were able to steal data through a File Transfer tool. Our client was spending a relatively small amount of money with this company, so they weren’t on their list of top 30 suppliers, but this made Joe and his team realize they needed to expand their supply chain tracking in Feedly. 

The more they personalize their Feeds with help from Leo, the more our client’s security analysts can stay focused on the real threats. As Joe trusts Feedly more and more, he can focus on the high level analysis, and rely on Leo’s natural language processing to do the tedious work for him. 

Joe is excited for the possibilities to get even more proactive with upcoming Feedly features. In addition to their supply chain tracking project, the analyst team plans to use the Feedly API to push alerts directly to their internal intelligence platform, which will make it even easier to focus on threats.

From a proactive monitoring perspective, the power of using Feedly is to actually inform you of breaches before anyone else knows.”

More proactive threat intelligence. Less noise.

Streamline your threat intelligence in Feedly so you can focus on real threats and ignore the distractions.

Research critical vulnerabilities with the Leo CVE Dashboard

New Feature
Contextualized CVE information for faster threat research, without the overwhelm

Cyber attacks are increasing in volume and sophistication across every industry and category, leaving threat analysts and frontline security teams faced with a flood of information. The consequences of missing critical information are astronomical, but no human can keep up with this onslaught of data on their own. 

You need relevant, real-time, accurate information – and scrolling through an endless list of sources won’t get you there. That’s why we’re excited to announce that Leo, your AI research assistant, now aggregates information on vulnerabilities, exploits, malware families, and threat actors into a single view so that he can help you proactively track and research CVEs. 

The Leo CVE Dashboard gives you at-a-glance visibility into relevant trending vulnerabilities, and you can use Leo to focus any of your feeds for faster insight into risks impacting your business’s software, hardware, and application stack. 

Information overload is real. This is why we enhanced Leo’s cybersecurity knowledge graph so  he can help you proactively track and research critical vulnerabilities and zero-day exploits relevant to you

With Leo, you can prioritize the CVEs that impact your organization’s technology stack and reduce the time it takes to investigate threats by up to 70%. All of this information is available at a glance via the Leo CVE Dashboard and throughout your Feeds.

Before using Feedly for Cybersecurity, my biggest challenge was to quickly sort through all the data to find the top CVEs by mention, and track their relationships with exploits, patches, etc. It would take a lot of work to search through unstructured text and large bulk files. With Leo, it’s so much easier to quickly review details of a CVE and its associated relationships.

Michael Rossi, Independent Security Consultant, Cybeta

The Leo CVE Dashboard: a complete CVE overview in a glimpse 

If you want to dive deeper into a CVE, exploit, or threat, Leo synthesizes vulnerability, patch, exploit/PoC, malware, and threat actor information into a single CVE Dashboard. Leo eliminates the time you used to spend opening a new browser tab, searching, browsing for the resource you want, and skimming everything individually to find what mattered.

Instead of having dozens of research tabs open in your browser, The Leo CVE Dashboard consolidates the information into a single location where you have at-a-glance views of:

  • CVSS score and vector string 
  • CWE
  • Affected systems, including vendor advisories
  • Exploit information
  • Patches
  • Associated malware families
  • Associated threat actors
  • Awareness graph
  • Number of Web and Social Media mentions, including Twitter and Reddit

For new vulnerabilities that don’t have a CVSS assigned yet, Leo uses a proprietary NLP model based on the CVSS v3 methodology to forecast this score. This way, you can spot new threats and take proactive steps in real-time.

Color-coding helps you make quick decisions about the next steps in your investigation. The darker the color on the Awareness graph, the more people are talking about the CVE across the web.

Get complete CVE overviews in a glimpse.

Leo provides links to all the external resources you need to investigate the CVE, so  you can more rapidly respond to threats and improve important cybersecurity metrics like mean time to detection (MTTD), mean time to investigate (MTTI), and mean time to remediate (MTTR). 

Dig deeper, faster, to determine if a specific vulnerability represents a critical risk for your organization based on its technology stack to decide whether to flag the intel and share it with the rest of your team.

For example, you can click on “Affected System” or “Patched” to go directly to those sources like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Vulnerability Database or websites with patches for remediation purposes. 

Click elements on the dashboard for more context and source material.

Before using Feedly for Cybersecurity, it was hard to prioritize which vulnerabilities were more important at a glance and determine if they applied to our networks. Now that we use Leo, we have been saving so much time, it’s much appreciated!

– Feedly for Cybersecurity Customer

Leo can surface relevant critical vulnerabilities across your Feeds

In addition to his interactive CVE Dashboard, Leo also prioritizes the most recent and talked about CVEs, right on your Today page. Simply click on a CVE name to see the dashboard complete with the information necessary for critical decision-making.

Leo knows cybersecurity because we taught him about CVE, CVSS, exploits, patches, threat actors, and other security intelligence concepts. Leo summarizes the information from various resources including NVD, vendor advisories, blogs, Twitter, and Reddit so you don’t have to check each location, sifting through posts unrelated to the CVE you care about.

The Trending in Cybersecurity dashboard showcases the top 5 trending vulnerabilities.

You can add new Leo Priorities on top of your current feed to add contextual business risk. For example, if your technology stack includes Oracle, Adobe, and Google Chrome, but not Samba, you can refine Leo’s priorities so you only see what’s relevant to your organization. 

Train Leo to prioritize vulnerabilities based on CVSS score to increase the relevance of your feed. Leo can flag risks related to your organization’s unique technology stack so you can out pace attackers.

You can start by training Leo to surface CVE’s based on Qualitative Severity Rating Scale — choose our preset for “high” or specify the CVSS scores to build your organization’s context into what you see.

Training Leo by using “HIGH” in combination with either products or vulnerability types personalizes your feed based on your organization’s unique needs. This lets you focus on the risks specific to your organization, weeding out the information you don’t need.

Surface the critical (CVSS > 8 or CVSS > 5 and exploit) vulnerabilities related to Oracle, Adobe, and Chrome.

All of these features, plus several more, are available as a part of Feedly for Cybersecurity. This package of Leo skills, enterprise features, and advanced knowledge graph access is perfect for cybersecurity teams that need to reduce noise and quickly identify risks.

Reddit communities are goldmines for conversations on specific topics. When you add a Reddit community as a source in Feedly, you can organize it into a Feed alongside any of the 10 other types of sources in Feedly, like news sources, email newsletters, and Twitter.

To get started, Click the ‘+’ button in the left navigation bar and choose the ‘Reddit Feeds’ tab. 

After you connect your Reddit account, you can search for your favorite community. Enter the community name or URL in the search bar, for example: Futurology or reddit.com/r/Futurology/.

Click ‘+’ in the left navigation bar and search for Reddit communities like r/Futurology to add them to your Feeds.

Follow Reddit searches

You can follow a Reddit search in Feedly so anytime new content is published that matches your search, you’ll see the new posts in your Feeds.

To follow a search, type your Reddit search directly into the search bar in the ‘Reddit Feeds’ tab.

You can also create an advanced search query in Reddit and then paste the finished URL of the search into Feedly.

Follow a Reddit search: Search inside Feedly, or create an advanced search in Reddit and paste the URL of the search into your search bar in Feedly.

Read linked articles directly in your Feedly 

If a Reddit post links to an article, Leo will pull the content of the article into your Feedly. You can read it, save it to a Board, add Notes or Highlights, or tag a teammate.

When a post links to an article, you can open the article right in Feedly<br>

Ask Leo to prioritize specific topics, companies, or business events

Once you’ve set up your sources, it’s time to put Leo, your AI research assistant, to work to help you filter out the noise. 

Leo will read every post published to the Reddit communities and searches you’ve followed. He’ll put the content mentioning the topics, companies, or business events you prioritize.

Leo will look for your Priorities in both the posts and the articles they link out to. For example, if you prioritize SpaceX (the company), Leo looks through all community posts and any linked articles to find mentions of SpaceX. He’ll add articles mentioning SpaceX to your Priority tab.

Leo reads every Reddit post in this Feed and the articles they link out to, and prioritizes the ones mentioning SpaceX.

Ask Leo to mute noisy Reddit posts

Just like any other piece of content in Feedly, you can ask Leo to mute posts about topics you don’t care about, so you only see essential news in your Feeds.

To create a Mute Filter, go to ‘Train Leo’ → ‘Mute Filters’ to mute content about a topic or keyword.

Leo reads both the content of the Reddit post and any linked content to decide whether or not to mute a post.

Leo reads every post published in the selected Feed and mutes the ones mentioning iPhone.

Examples of ways to use Reddit in Feedly

Let’s look at some ways Feedly users can use the Reddit integration to stay on top of updates in their industries:

A journalist wants to stay on top of updates in the finance business industry

While researching the finance business industry, a journalist can add a Reddit search for “blockchain” in their “Finance Business” Feed to stay on top of authentic conversations related to the topic.

An HR manager wants to keep up with insights and opinions on company benefits

To keep a finger on the pulse of people’s opinions of company benefits and work/life balance, an HR manager can follow Reddit communities about the company, and about areas like r/HumanResources and r/CareerSuccess.

An angel investor wants to keep up with startups they invest in

To learn as much as possible about the startups they invested in — without spending hours sifting through Reddit — an angel investor can follow searches for the names of each startup and add them to a “Startup” Feed. Then, they can layer a Leo Priority for product launches on top of that “Startup” Feed. Content about product launches related to specific startups will show up in their Priority tab.

I used to feel like I was missing out on content I care about. I now have much more granular access to communities discussing my similar interests, all aggregated in Feedly.”

The new Cybersecurity Trending Dashboard (beta)

An at-a-glance overview of the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape

Keeping up with the most critical threats, vulnerabilities, and threat actors can be time consuming and overwhelming.

We have been working with some existing Feedly for Cybersecurity customers to create a trending dashboard that offers an at-a-glance overview of the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape.

Today, we are excited to launch a beta of the Cybersecurity Trending Dashboard to all the Feedly for Cybersecurity customers.

Here is a quick walkthrough!

Trending Threats

The first component of the Trending Dashboard is a list of the trending threats reported across 1,200 different cybersecurity sources (news sites, blogs, or Twitter accounts).

The Today section now includes a Trending in Cybersecurity dashboard

It allows you to get a quick overview of what are the critical threats that are being reported across all the cybersecurity sites the Feedly community is reading. You can think of this as a TechMeme for Cybersecurity.

The model producing this dashboard is focusing on the news published in the last 24 hours.

Behind the scenes, Leo, your AI research assistant, reads all the articles across all the cybersecurity sources and Twitter accounts. Leo dismisses articles that are not about cybersecurity threats, clusters the ones that are reporting the same threat, and ranks them using different “features”.

The initial model we are pushing to beta is a global model. This means that your personal priorities and mute filters are not affecting this model (yet!).

Trending Vulnerabilities

The second component of the Trending Dashboard is a list of the trending vulnerabilities that are being discovered or discussed across cybersecurity sources.

You can click on a specific vulnerability and drill down to a page that captures all the mentions and chatter around that vulnerability.

See the chatter about a specific vulnerability

Get newsletters in Feedly

New Feature
Declutter your inbox and read without distractions

Newsletters are quickly becoming the best way to get curated insights on specific topics, trends, or industries. But inboxes aren’t the best place for focused reading. Keeping up with newsletters in your inbox can be a disorganized, distracting, and overwhelming experience. 

That’s why you can now get newsletters in Feedly. Keep up with the topics and trends that matter to you, without all the distractions.

I used to miss a lot of newsletters in my inbox because they would come at different times of day, and they would get put into different folders. Now that I get newsletters in Feedly, I can organize them into one single stream. I can capture and analyze all the content I need.

Subscribe to newsletters with Feedly email addresses

You can now add newsletters to your feeds in Feedly and organize them just like any other source. This feature is available for all Pro+, Business, and Enterprise users. 

In the Feedly Web app, click ‘+’ in the left navigation bar and choose the ‘Newsletters’ tab to get started.

Click ‘+’ in the left navigation bar and choose the ‘Newsletters’ tab to generate a unique email address for this newsletter. Use that email address to subscribe to the newsletter and get it delivered to your Feedly.

Let’s imagine you are the Director of Operations at an e-commerce company and you need to follow the Exponential View newsletter to keep up with news about retail, business and tech. Here’s how you would get the Exponential View newsletter in Feedly:

  1. Click the ‘+’ button in the left navigation bar and choose the ‘Newsletters’ tab.
  2. Generate a unique Feedly email address. 
  3. Use the Feedly email address to subscribe to the newsletter.
  4. Assign a name to the newsletter source and choose a feed that you want it to be delivered to.
  5. Success! The content from this newsletter will now be delivered to your Feedly. 

If the newsletter has a double opt-in (to confirm your email address), the confirmation email will be sent to your Feedly, and you’ll have to click the confirmation link before you can receive newsletter content. 

We recommend using a different email address for each newsletter so that you can organize them easily in your feeds. 

Organize and read newsletters with the rest of your content 

Once you’ve added newsletters to your feeds, you can organize, read, and annotate them just like any other source.

This user added the Exponential newsletter to a “Thinkers” feed. They can now skim content from Exponential with the rest of the content in that feed.

If you use Feedly with your team, you can add newsletter content to Team Boards and add notes or highlights to call out the important parts.

Easily read and annotate the content of your newsletters.

I now have a one-stop information hub. I can save time when reading essential information from newsletters on Feedly rather than being distracted by other emails.

FAQs about getting newsletters in Feedly

Why can’t I subscribe to new newsletters in the Feedly mobile app? 

Right now, you can only follow new newsletters in the Feedly Web app.

You can still read existing newsletters on mobile. We’re working on the newsletter functionality in the mobile app, and you should be able to follow new newsletters on mobile in the next 2-3 months.

How can I subscribe to a newsletter that requires me to log in to the website first?

You can log in to the website with your real email address. Once you subscribe, set up a rule in your email application to forward the newsletter to your Feedly email. You can then delete it from your email inbox.

Can I automatically forward existing newsletters from my inbox to Feedly

Yes, you can. Generate a Feedly email address and create a forward rule in your email application to forward your existing newsletters to that Feedly email address. 

Forwarded newsletter emails will show up in your Feedly. We recommend generating one email address per newsletter so that you can easily organize newsletters in your Feedly as individual sources.

Can I import newsletters from my email?

Currently, you can’t import newsletters from your email. However, you can forward newsletters directly from your email (instead of resubscribing on the newsletter website). Generate a Feedly email address and create a rule in your email application to forward each newsletter.

How many newsletters can I subscribe to in Feedly?

Pro+ users can follow up to 25 newsletters. Business users can follow up to 50 newsletters, and Enterprise users can follow up to 100 newsletters.

Can I subscribe to multiple newsletters with the same generated Feedly email address?

Yes, but it is not recommended. We recommend subscribing to newsletters with unique Feedly email addresses for each newsletter so you can then organize them into your feeds.

How can I unsubscribe from a newsletter I added to my feeds?

To unsubscribe from a newsletter, right-click on the newsletter source in the left navigation bar, and click ‘Unfollow’.

Does following a newsletter in Feedly impact the analytics of the newsletter publisher?

No. When you open and read a newsletter in Feedly, the content creator gets the same analytics as when you open and read the newsletter in your inbox.

Leo learns from the community

Leo
We’re designing systems to protect against machine learning bias

In the wake of recent acts of extreme brutality and injustice and mass protests, we’re examining our role in perpetuating systems of inequality. We are responsible for our impact as a tech company, as a news reader, and, acutely, as a developer of machine learning algorithms for Leo, your AI research assistant. 

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are powerful tools that allow Leo to read thousands of articles published every day and prioritize a top selection based on the topics, organizations, and trends that matter to you. However, if not designed intentionally, these tools run the risk of reinforcing harmful cultural biases.

Bias sneaks into machine learning algorithms by way of incomplete or imbalanced training data. Without realizing it, we miss or overrepresent certain variables and the algorithm learns the wrong information, often with dangerous outcomes.

In the case of Leo, we risk introducing bias when teaching him broad topics such as “leadership.” Leo learns these topics by finding common themes in sets of articles curated by the Feedly team. For the topic “leadership,” Leo might pick out themes like strong management skills and building a supportive team culture. However, if more articles about male leaders than female are published or added to the training set, Leo might also learn that being male is a quality of leadership. Tracking which themes Leo learns is an essential part of topic modeling that helps prevent us from reinforcing our biases or those of the article author or publisher.

It’s on us as developers to be deliberate and transparent about the way we account for bias in our training process. With that in mind, we’re excited to share what we’re working on to reduce bias at the most crucial stage: the training data

Break down silos

Collaboration among folks from diverse backgrounds helps us account for our blind spots. However, to make that collaboration possible, we need an accessible tool. The new topic modeler is that tool — designed so that anyone in the Feedly community can help curate a dataset to train Leo about topics they’re passionate about.

A peek inside the topic modeler tool

The topic modeler takes advantage of the Feedly UI we know and love to allow multiple users to search for articles for the training set and review Leo’s learning progress. Our goal is to connect with experts in a variety of fields to build robust topics that represent our entire community — not just the engineering team.

Put to the test: the diversity topic

Recently, two Feedly team members with no machine learning experience and who are interested in diversity issues road tested the new tool to redesign our diversity topic. The result is a topic that is rich and nuanced: rather than focusing only on the buzzword “diversity,” Leo will be looking for thousands of related keywords, including representation, inclusion, bias, discrimination, equal rights, and intersectionality. Now you can train Leo to track diversity and inclusion progress in your industry and find essential information for how to build and maintain inclusive work cultures and hiring practices.

Leo prioritizes diversity in your Science feed

Leo continuously learns

Topic modeling is not the only way to collaborate. Any Feedly user can help Leo learn. When Leo is wrong, you can use the ‘Less Like This’ down arrow button to let him know that an article he’s prioritized isn’t about a particular subject.

Leo will also seek your feedback occasionally via a prompt at the top of an article. If you see “Is this article about [topic]?,” let him know! Your feedback gets incorporated into Leo’s training set to fill in any gaps we missed and strengthen his understanding.

Your feedback helps fine-tune Leo’s understanding

Join the movement

Beyond in-app feedback, feel free to reach out via email or join the Feedly Community Slack channel, especially if you have a topic for Leo to learn about. This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to addressing and dismantling systemic bias. We take our role as content mediators seriously and know that we are indebted to those who have fought for so long to bring these issues to our attention. Leo is listening and learning.

Get tweets in Feedly

New Feature
Pull content from Twitter accounts, hashtags, Lists, and searches directly into your Feedly feeds

Twitter is full of insightful news and trends. But integrating those insights into your research flow can be overwhelming and time-consuming. We hear from users all the time that you want to be able to bring parts of Twitter into your Feedly feeds for researching and monitoring trends.

Today, we’re excited to share the new Twitter Integration for Feedly!

You can follow Twitter accounts, hashtags, Lists, and searches. Even more exciting, Feedly can pull content from linked articles directly into your feeds. And Leo, your AI research assistant, can cut through the noise and prioritize or mute certain topics to make sure you only see tweets with essential information for your research.

One of my favorite features is the Feedly Twitter integration. I can stay informed about events and conversations I might otherwise miss, without it affecting how I use Twitter and cluttering up my feed.

GET TWITTER INTEGRATION

Follow Twitter accounts in Feedly

Search for any Twitter handle in the ‘Twitter feeds’ tab, just like you would with any other source on Feedly.

When you search for an account, you’ll see two options: ‘Tweets’ and ‘Tweets with Links’.

Follow ‘Tweets’ to see all tweets from an account.

Follow ‘Tweets with Links’ to follow only tweets from this account that link out to articles, videos, pictures, or any other type of external content. This lets you skip any tweets without external content.

Choosing ‘Tweets with Links’ is great because:

  • If possible, we’ll extract the content of linked articles and make the content appear inline, just like any other article in your feeds.
  • You can create a Leo priority on both the tweet and the content of the article when it’s extracted. We’ll tell you more about Leo priorities in a second.
Search for an account, and then choose whether you want to follow all tweets, or only tweets that link to external content.

Scan tweets — and the articles they link to — in your feeds

Tweets are aggregated into your feeds with the rest of your content. When you click on a tweet that links to an article, the article will open in Feedly.

Tweets are aggregated into your feeds with the rest of your content.

Read and annotate linked articles directly in your Feedly

We’ll pull the content of linked articles inline so you can read and annotate them in your Feedly. Add notes or highlights without having to click away to Twitter or another site to read or save the article.

When a tweet links to an article, you can open the article right in Feedly.

I can interact with tweets the same way I would with articles by saving, highlighting, and pushing them to other services.

Jon Henshaw, Founder of Coywolf

Train Leo to prioritize specific topics, companies, or business events

This is where it gets powerful. Leo, your AI research assistant, helps cut through the noise of tweets in your feeds and find what’s essential to you. Click ‘Train Leo’ to create a priority.

Ask Leo to prioritize topics, like “Tik Tok”, and then use AND, OR, and NOT to refine your priority.

Leo reads both the content of the tweet and any linked content to decide whether or not a tweet should be prioritized.

Train Leo to mute tweets that aren’t important to you

Just like any other piece of content in Feedly, you can train Leo to mute tweets about topics you don’t care about, so you only see essential news in your feeds.

Leo reads both the content of the tweet and any linked content to decide whether or not to mute a tweet.

You can ask Leo to mute any content related to a topic, like COVID-19.

Follow Twitter hashtags in Feedly

You can follow all tweets mentioning a specific hashtag. You’ll see two options, just like when following an account: ‘Tweets’, and ‘Tweets with Links’.

If you follow the hashtag #b2bmarketing, for example, you can choose:

  • #b2bmarketing Tweets: all tweets will be pulled into your feeds
  • #b2bmarketing Tweets with Links: only tweets about #b2bmarketing that link to external content will be pulled into your feeds
Follow all tweets with #b2bmarketing, or choose to follow only tweets that link to other content.

Follow Twitter Lists in Feedly

You can also follow Twitter Lists, which are curated groups of Twitter accounts.

Follow both your own Lists and other users’ public Lists. Just paste the link of the Twitter List directly into the search bar in the ‘Twitter feeds’ tab.

Copy the URL of the List you want to follow, and paste it directly into Feedly.

Follow Twitter searches, or create advanced search queries to follow in Feedly

Type your search directly into the search bar in Feedly, and the integration will continually pull updated results of the search into your feed.

Here’s a helpful list of Twitter’s standard operators that you can use to refine your search.

Type your search directly into Feedly to add it as a source. Use operators like -filter:retweets to remove retweets from the results.

You can also use the advanced search options on Twitter. Once you’ve created an advanced search in Twitter, click ‘Search’ and then paste the link to the advanced search directly into the search bar in your Feedly.

I was struggling to search through my bookmarked tweets on Twitter. But now I can follow my favorite Twitter users, star articles from Twitter and add them to boards. They are easily searchable and I can even annotate and highlight parts.

FAQs about the Feedly Twitter integration

How do I get started with the Twitter integration? What can I follow?

Anyone on a Pro+, Business, or Enterprise plan has access to the Twitter integration. Once you’ve connected your account to Twitter (go to the ‘Twitter feeds’ tab in Feedly to set it up) you can follow accounts, hashtags, searches, or Lists.

Can I follow protected Twitter accounts?

Yes. If the Twitter account you want to follow is protected, just make sure the Twitter account you’re using to connect to Feedly follows the protected account.

How do I remove retweets?

Right now, it’s not possible to explicitly remove retweets. If you want to remove retweets from your feeds, our recommendation is to hide retweets from inside your Twitter account. Here’s how

Do I need to follow both ‘Tweets’ and ‘Tweets with links’ for an account or hashtag?

You only need to follow one. Choose ‘Tweets’ and you’ll get all tweets, with and without links.

Choose ‘Tweets with Links’ to get only tweets that link to external content, like articles or videos.

Is it possible to filter a search further once I follow a hashtag?

Yes. Our advice is to first use Twitter’s advanced search to refine your search. Then, once you’re satisfied with the results, copy and paste the URL of the search in Feedly to create a new source.

Can I publish to Twitter from Feedly?

When you connect your Feedly to your Twitter account, this is a read-only connection allowing your Feedly to read tweets. Feedly doesn’t write any tweets. To share insights from Feedly to Twitter, click the Twitter icon at the top of any article to generate a tweet and share your insights.

Can I follow my own Twitter account?

Yes. If you want to follow the timeline you see when you go to twitter.com, then type “twitter.com/” into the search bar. The timeline of the Twitter account that’s connected to your Feedly account will be pulled into your feeds.

If you want to see your own tweets, you can follow yourself — just type your Twitter username into the search bar.

Will every single tweet from that hashtag get pulled into my feeds?

Yes. If you add a hashtag as a source, all the tweets generated for that hashtag get pulled into your feed. If you’re getting too much noise from a hashtag, we recommend training Leo to prioritize or mute certain keywords or topics so that you only see what’s most important to you.

What’s the limit for articles from Twitter per day?

Feedly has a limit of 5,000 articles per day from each Twitter source.
