# Configure RSS Publications for Groups or Channels

### **Overview**

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) allows you to publish messages from channels or groups in a standardized XML-based feed. This makes it easy to share alerts across various systems and technologies, allowing you to send alerts or updates to desktop notifications or public-facing pages.

RSS publication is available as a free add-on. Once enabled, you can configure an existing or new channel or group to send RSS alerts. You can also use RSS feeds to power desktop notifications or publish alerts to a public-facing page.

---

### **Key Points**

- **RSS as a delivery method** is required for desktop notifications.
- A dedicated RSS channel or group can have RSS set as the default delivery method.
- Channels configured for desktop notifications are listed in the *Desktop Notification* add-on page.

### **Enable RSS Publications for a Group or Channel**

### **Configure RSS Settings**

1. In the **RSS Title Options** section, choose one of the following:
   
     - **Subject**: Uses the message subject as the RSS feed title.
     - **Default**: Displays "{Topic owner name or Regroup} posted a message {Topic Subject} to the {Topic Channel Name} channel" as the title.
     - **Body**: Uses the message body as the RSS feed title.
2. In the **RSS Pubdate Format** section, select **Show timezone difference**. (required for desktop notifications).
3. In the **RSS Displaying Options** section, choose:
   
     - **Disable HTML from displaying feed**: Prevents HTML code from appearing in the RSS feed.
     - **Disable topic links in RSS feed**: Removes link tags from the RSS feed.
4. Click **Save** to apply your settings.

### **Set Up Desktop Notifications**

After configuring the RSS feed, please contact Customer Success to create a desktop notification user and an inbound RSS feed. The necessary user credentials will be provided.
