# RSS campaigns

> Write to your list on its own, whenever your blog publishes.

Lekalao watches an RSS or Atom feed and writes to your list when there is something new: a blog post, a podcast episode, another recipe.

## Watch a feed

**Feeds → Watch a feed**:

<ParamField path="Name" type="text" required>
  It also names the campaigns that are created: "The blog — 2026-09-17".
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="Feed address" type="URL" required>
  The RSS or Atom address. **Try it** reads the feed and says how many items
  it holds and the title of the latest one.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="List and segment" type="list" required />

<ParamField path="Template" type="template">
  The layout whose editable zone receives the posts.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="Subject" type="text">
  Two variables: `:title` (the title of the first post) and `:count` (how
  many posts). "New: :title" by default.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="How often" type="as soon as something appears, once a day, once a week">
  * **As soon as something appears**: as soon as the feed publishes, checked
    every hour. - **Once a day**: once a day, at the hour you choose. - **Once
    a week**: on the day and at the hour you choose.
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="Wait for at least / Never more than" type="1 to 50">
  The smallest number of new posts worth writing about (useful weekly: no
  e-mail for a single post), and the most in one e-mail.
</ParamField>

## What the e-mail holds

For each new post: the title as a link to the post, then its summary (500 characters at most). A footer with the unsubscribe link and the postal address is added. The campaign is sent like any other and appears in **Campaigns** with its statistics.

## What you can count on

* **A post already sent never goes out again.**
* If the campaign that was created cannot go (missing postal address, an untested mailer…), it stays a **draft** with "needs attention" in its name, the posts are not marked as sent, and **no new campaign is created** until that draft is sorted out. The message appears on the feed's row.
* A feed that cannot be read is flagged on its row, with the error, and nothing is sent.

## Managing feeds

The **Feeds** page shows each feed with its list, how many campaigns it created and when it was last checked. **Send now** forces a check without waiting for the schedule; a feed may be **paused**; the bin deletes it (the campaigns already sent stay).
