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.
...
To set a new source:
Insert Source name
Add the RSS/ATOM feed URL from which you want to retrieve content from
Set content update frequency, choosing among:
When new content is available (checked every 10 minutes)
every N minutes
every N hours
Decide how to handle existing content: you can replace existing ones or simply add new contents.
Once all parameters are set, select save. The page will automatically refresh showing the number of content retrieved and when the next update will be.
...
If the URL inserted is not valid, an alert will warn you to check if it is correct.
...
