November 24th, 2007 by admin
How to Setup RSS Feed
1. Select the campaign for which you want to setup an RSS Feed
2. Click RSS Broadcast in the top navigation bar
3. Click Create RSS Broadcasts
4. Enter the RSS Feed URL in the box provided - See How To Find RSS URL below
5. Click the Check RSS URL button - This will check that the RSS feed URL is valid.
It will automatcally insert the RSS Feed Title for you.
6. Edit the e-mails as appropriate.
7. Click the Save RSS Broadcast button at the bottom of the page.
That’s it the RSS Feed Broadcast is now setup and Active and any new lead captured by your lead capture page will automatically be subscribed to your RSS Feed. You can manually subscribe / unsubscribe leads from the RSS Broadcaster within the View Leads page.
Each Cumada campaign can only have one RSS Feed.
How To Find RSS URL
For the purpose of explanation only - whenever you see “newtrendz” in the links below, replace it with Your Account Name. Newtrendz is a live account and perhaps better to use for explanation.
1. Go to your Blog Site
2. Click on the orange RSS Feed Symbol (top right in newtrendz.mycumada)
3. Copy and paste the URL (http://newtrendz.mycumada.com/feed/) into the RSS Feed URL box described in step 4 above.
A few points to note:
* The RSS URL can also be found by clicking Entries (RSS) bottom right under Subscribe at “YourAccountName”.mycumada
* All blogs will most likely have the RSS Symbol on them and/or a Subscribe to Posts / Entries link
* The Cumada System does not currently support atom RSS Feeds.
myCumada RSS Feed By Category
All WordPress blogs (like myCumada) also support RSS Feeds by Category. So in myCumada (or any WordPress Blog) you can create a Blog category for each Cumada Campaign. You can then create the Cumada RSS Broadcast for the Blog category for that campaign.
E.G. Let’s say you have a Cumada campaign named gibline.newtrendz, just create a category in myCumada called gibline.
The RSS Feed URL that you would use in step 4 above will be:
http://newtrendz.mycumada.com/category/gibline/feed/
Now anytime you create a post in myCumada under the category gibline your leads in the Cumada campaign gibline.newtrendz will receive the update.
They will not receive updates for any new posts added to any other category - only those posted to the gibline Blog category.
Adding A Subscribe Link To Your Blog
In Cumada under View RSS Broadcasts you will notice there is a Subscribe Link.
Something like http://www.cumada.com/blogs.php?id=newtrendz&sid=1234
Simply add this to your links / Blogroll in myCumada and label it something like SUBSCRIBE NOW!.
