When you execute a broadcast activity configured with RSS offer in production mode, the RSS feed that it defines is published to its channel’s web publish site.
When a new feed is created, you must update its settings in FeedPress to facilitate its push notification to RSS readers, and to track metrics in respect thereof.
Details of how this can be carried out are provided in the RPI External Configuration documentation.
After successful execution of an RSS broadcast, the activity’s logs will display
‘FeedPress feed URL: http://feedpress.me/[FEED_ALIAS]’
This URL must be used by subscribers wishing to subscribe to the RSS feed. The links in the RSS content in the URL will have already been marked up by FeedPress to track subscribes and reads; this information is used by RPI to update the Subscribers and Reads metrics, which are displayed in the Results Window.
Note that FeedPress is used to track the count of the subscriptions to and reads of the RSS document. This is done by replacing the document's links with tracking links when the original RSS URL is passed to FeedPress. By using the feed alias, RPI can request subscriber and read counts from FeedPress.
