Easily follow websites that don’t have RSS feeds
No RSS? No problem. You can now build your own feeds in Feedly for websites without RSS.
You already follow your favorite blogs, news sites, research journals, and more in Feedly. But when you come upon a site without an RSS option, what do you do? Manually opening separate tabs and remembering to check the RSS-less sites can get tedious and confusing. And some of the RSS builder tools out there can feel intimidating and complicated, especially if you already do all your reading and research inside Feedly.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce Feedly’s new RSS Builder. You can now create your own feeds for websites that don’t offer RSS and follow them in Feedly.
When a website doesn’t offer an RSS feed, you’ll automatically get the option to build your own RSS feed in Feedly.
The RSS Builder feature solves one of the big problems our team used to have: they had trusted and favorite sources with no way to get in Feedly. Instead of having to look into multiple places like before, they can now follow all their favorite websites in one single place on Feedly!

Choose the articles you want to get in Feedly
When you try to follow a website that doesn’t offer RSS, you used to hit a dead end. Now, you’ll see the option to build your own RSS feed, and the RSS Builder will walk you through the simple steps to add a website without RSS to your Feedly.
First, choose the articles you want to get through RSS. When you open the RSS builder, you’ll get a preview of the web page. Scroll down the page, find the section of articles you’re interested in, and click on the articles you want to get in Feedly (such as the “latest posts” section of a company’s blog). Then, click ‘Build RSS feed.’ You’ll be prompted to add your new source to an existing Feed in Feedly. Add it to an existing Feed, or create a new Feed in which to organize your new source.
That’s it! You have officially built an RSS feed from scratch. Congrats.
In the preview of the website, select the articles you want to get in Feedly. In this example, we selected articles from Fintastico’s Fintech Radar blog.
Feedly continuously updates your new RSS source
Articles from this new source (that you’ve created with the RSS Builder) will now get sent to your Feedly regularly. This source will behave like any other source in Feedly, and Leo, your AI research assistant, can assist you in the same way he’d be able to do on any other source: he can find the topics in article, deduplicate articles, summarize articles, or mute topics you don’t want to get in Feedly.
Your shiny new source in Feedly! Articles from this new source will appear in your Feedly just like any other blog, website, or news source.
Easily read, annotate, or save articles from this RSS source
Now that you’ve used the RSS Builder to bring these articles into Feedly, you can read, annotate, save, or share articles just like content from any other source. Add Notes or Highlights to your reading to come back to later, or save an article to a designated Board to keep articles on a certain topic. You can share through integrations with social media sharing platforms, email, or Zapier.
Add Notes, Highlights, or tag teammates (if you’re on an Enterprise plan) like any other article in Feedly.
Feedly can become a place for all news sources I want, and I can select the sources of information in a more granular way instead of waiting for sources to have an RSS.

FAQs about building RSS feeds for websites without RSS
What is RSS?
RSS stands for really simple syndication. When a website offers an RSS feed, it makes content available in a file format that an RSS feed reader (like Feedly) can use to fetch the content so you can read it in real time. Until now, when a website didn’t offer RSS feeds, Feedly was unable to aggregate content from this RSS-less website into your Feedly.
