MailUp allows creating content sources that, automatically and on a regular basis, retrieve external content and make it available into the platform. This content can be used to create automated Campaigns or directly in the drag&drop editor while creating a new message.
...
You can now choose if you want to create a new source using an RSS/ATOM feed (URL) or by uploading a .csv, .json or a .zip (FILE).
Select URL to import contents, automatically and on a regular basis, from a URL.
...
If the URL inserted is not valid, an alert will warn you to check if it is correct.
