Syndication Feed Page

This page type allows content authors to create a dynamic list of insights content that external sites can pull in through in an RSS or ATOM feed.

How It Works

  • Once a Syndication Feed Page is published, navigating to the URL of the page generates an RSS/ATOM feed of the applicable content, allowing it to be used by external sites to pull in up-to-date insights.
  • The items in the feed are in descending order by published date (uses the out-of-the-box Published date field which is editable through the Settings tab of each page).
