Blogs, release notes, job boards, podcasts and vendor status pages all publish feeds. FlowMattic watches the feeds you choose and posts what matters into Slack, sorted by channel and trimmed by keyword, so your team reads updates where it already talks instead of opening a feed reader.

1. TriggerNew Item in RSS Feed2. ActionSend Channel MessageWhen RSS Feed fires New Item in RSS Feed, FlowMattic runs Send Channel Message in Slack with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateContent and social teams see each new article with its title and link as soon as the feed picks it up, ready to share or reply to in a thread.
New Item in RSS FeedSend Channel Message
View the template One feed often mixes product news, tutorials and hiring posts. A Router reads the item's category and posts it to #product, #learning or #hiring so nobody wades through the rest.

A Filter checks the title and summary for words like pricing, launch or your product name, and only matching items reach you as a direct message.

Point the workflow at a service's status page feed. Each new incident becomes the channel topic and a short message, so support knows about an outage before customers ask.

Instead of a message per item, a Schedule pulls the latest items each morning, an AI Agent writes a few lines on each, and one tidy digest lands in #news.

For shows you follow for work, each new episode in the feed becomes a Slack reminder at a time you set, so it waits for your commute instead of getting buried.

At the end, each new item in the feed you pick is posted to one Slack channel with its title and link.
Copy the RSS or Atom address of the site you want to follow. Many sites publish it at /feed/ or link it in the page footer.
Add a Slack connection under Connects. RSS Feed needs no account, only the feed address.
Create a workflow, choose the RSS Feed trigger, paste the URL and fetch a sample item so its fields are ready to map.
Add Send Channel Message, pick the channel and build the text from the item's title, link and summary. Test it, then switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
RSS Feed and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Runs are unlimited on every plan, so a busy news feed posting dozens of items a day costs the same as one quiet blog.
Router and Filter decide which channel, which person, or nobody, so Slack carries signal rather than every post a site publishes.
The feed is read and the message is sent by FlowMattic on your own server, built on the same visual builder as your other workflows.
Yes. Build one workflow per feed and point each at the same channel, or the channel of your choice. Starting the message with the source name keeps it clear which site each item came from.
If the feed item includes an image URL, put it in the message text and Slack usually unfurls the link with a preview. Feeds without image fields still show the title and link.
Yes. Build a separate workflow with Retrieve RSS Feed Items, loop over the result with Iterator and send each one with Send Channel Message. Run it once, then leave the New Item in RSS Feed workflow for everything after.
Yes. Use Send Private Channel Message instead of Send Channel Message and pick the private channel. The connected Slack account needs to be a member of it.
Yes. Use the daily digest pattern with a Schedule, or add a Delay before the Slack step so items arrive during working hours.
