How many feeds can we have?

Every plan includes feeds, with more on each bigger plan, and the settings show how many your workspace has used. The plan limits page has the numbers.

Does the site see who's reading?

No. Freesbe fetches the feed itself, as FreesbeBot, so the site only sees Freesbe. Pictures on the cards load from the site, like any image on the web.

Can I add a feed that needs a password?

Not yet. Freesbe reads public feeds only.

Where do I find a site's feed?

Most blogs and news sites have one, often at /feed, /rss or /atom.xml. Pasting the site's own address usually works, because its pages link to it.

News feeds

All plans

The news your team follows, in the channel.

News feeds post new items from any site with a feed into a channel: a trade paper's articles, a partner's status page, a supplier's release notes, your own blog. Each card has the headline, a short summary, the picture and the author, under the feed's own name, and anyone can reply in a thread to talk about it.

Paste a website's address and Freesbe finds its feed.
Keywords keep a busy feed to what matters.
Checked every 15 minutes, less often while a feed is quiet, and Check now when you can't wait.
RSS, Atom and JSON Feed, with nothing old posted when you add one.
A feed that stops answering says so, and pauses after three days.

For Teams who follow their industry, their partners' status pages or their suppliers' release notes.

Add a feed

An owner or admin opens Workspace settings, Integrations, News feeds and clicks Add feed. Paste the feed's address, or just the website's, and Find feed shows its title and newest items. Pick the channel, change the name if you like, fill in Only post items about for a busy feed, and leave Post the newest item now on to see a card right away. Everything already in the feed counts as seen, so the channel isn't flooded with old articles.

Adding Acme Corp's newsroom: the feed found from the website's address, its newest items, #sales as the channel and the keywords tea and matcha

What a card shows

The headline as a link to the article, a short summary, the article's picture when it has one, and who wrote it. The cards post under the feed's own name and icon, so they're easy to tell apart from people, and anyone can reply in a thread to talk about the story. To post the same feed into two channels, add it twice.

Keep it tidy

Keywords separated by commas, like singapore, maintenance, post only the items with one of them in the title or summary. At most five cards post from one check, with a message saying how many more came out. Quiet feeds are checked less often, up to every two hours, and go back to every 15 minutes as soon as something posts. A feed that stops answering says Not answering with the reason, and is paused after three days.

Check now from a feed's menu to see a new item sooner
Turn a feed off and the items from the meantime post when it's back on
Delete a feed and the cards already posted stay in the channel

Workspace settings, Integrations, News feeds: three feeds, one filtered to Singapore and maintenance, all posting to #industry-news
