Creating a Data Feed from an External Source

A Data Feed can be created by importing and keeping data in sync from external data sources.

For now, the Data Feed can connect to:

  • RSS
  • CSV
  • Google Sheets
  • iCal
  • Facebook
  • XML
  • JSON
  • Instagram
  • Twitter (now called X, no longer supported)

To create a Data Feed from an external source:

  1. Go to the Content tab.
  2. Click on the “New” Button.
  3. Select “Data Feed”.
  1. Give the Data Feed you want to create a name and select “Data Feed From Source”
  2. Select the type of data you will import. In this case “RSS”
  3. Enter the Data Source URL, for example, http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss

Here is an example of a Data Feed after importing an external RSS feed.
