Feeds app — Content aggregation

Overview

Feeds is Steeple's content aggregation app. It allows you to centralize and share content from external sources (RSS feeds, social networks) or from manual curation.

What the assistant can do

With the scope Feeds, the assistant can:

• List all the organization's feeds (automatic and manual)

• Create an automatic feed from a URL (RSS, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram)

• Create a manual curation feed

• Rename a manual feed

• Change visibility from a feed (targeted communities)

• Delete a feed

• List articles from a feed

• Add an article to a manual feed (by URL)

• Delete an article from a manual feed

• View statistics of an article's views (number of views, list of readers)

• Enable/disable the webhooks of a manual feed

Feed types

• Automatic feed : powered by an external source (RSS, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, custom URL). Articles are retrieved automatically.

• Manual feed : manual curation, articles are added one by one via URL. It is possible to activate a webhook for automatic addition via API.
