The essentials

What is RSS-to-email?

RSS-to-email turns new content from an RSS feed into an email newsletter automatically. Instead of copying links, images and summaries into every campaign, a service checks your feed, finds new items and builds the next email for you.

1

Publish

You publish an article, update, podcast or other item to a website with an RSS feed.

2

Assemble

FlipRSS finds new feed items and prepares the right content for the newsletter.

3

Send

Mailchimp delivers the campaign using your audience, template and sending schedule.

Why automate?

Make your existing content work harder

RSS-to-email removes the repeated production work between publishing content and sharing it with subscribers. It is especially useful for teams publishing frequently, managing several content sources or serving audiences with different interests.

Automation does not mean sending the same thing to everyone. With FlipRSS, each feed can be shown to everyone or mapped to specific Mailchimp Groups, so subscribers receive content based on the preferences they have chosen.

Save production time

Stop rebuilding routine newsletters by hand.

Increase relevance

Match topics and feeds to subscriber interests.

Send consistently

Keep campaigns running on the schedule you choose.

Improve engagement

Give readers more of the content they selected.

The FlipRSS difference

One newsletter can use multiple RSS feeds

A basic RSS newsletter normally takes items from one feed and sends the same selection to the whole list. FlipRSS is designed for organisations with several websites, departments, topics or content channels.

You can combine multiple RSS feeds in one automated email and decide which Mailchimp Groups should receive each feed. Two subscribers can therefore receive different versions of the same scheduled campaign without your team producing separate emails.

Standard RSS-to-email

  • Usually one source feed
  • One content selection for everyone
  • Useful for a simple blog digest

For the detailed workflows, see automated email with multiple RSS feeds and using multiple RSS feeds in Mailchimp.

How FlipRSS works

From RSS feeds to an automated Mailchimp newsletter

FlipRSS adds multi-feed content selection and personalisation to the Mailchimp workflow you already use.

  1. 1

    Connect Mailchimp

    Authorise FlipRSS and choose the Mailchimp audience and template you want to use.

  2. 2

    Add your RSS feeds

    Paste in each feed URL and choose how its items should appear in the email.

  3. 3

    Match feeds to interests

    Show a feed to everyone or select the Mailchimp Group whose members should receive it.

  4. 4

    Choose your schedule

    Set when the campaign should check for content and send through Mailchimp.

  5. 5

    Let the newsletter run

    Continue publishing normally while FlipRSS and Mailchimp handle assembly and delivery.

Personalisation at scale

Send each subscriber the content they asked for

Mailchimp Groups record subscriber interests. FlipRSS uses those Group memberships when it assembles the campaign, including only the feeds mapped to each person's preferences.

This means you can manage one audience and one scheduled campaign while delivering more relevant newsletter content to different readers.
