The RSS feed importer helps people add fresh content to their sites automatically. This XenForo feature pulls information from RSS feeds and then creates new threads based on what it finds. Anyone can set this up by going to Forums, then RSS feed importer in their control panel.
Users need permission before sharing content from any feed on their websites. Many administrators prefer feeds that only show small parts of articles instead of entire posts. This keeps everything legal when creating discussions.
Each feed needs two important settings before it works properly. First, pick which forum receives the new threads. Second, choose who appears as the writer of each post. The system can either assign a real member or use the name that comes with the RSS feed itself.
The message template controls how each thread looks after XenForo creates it. Administrators can add special placeholders that the system replaces with actual feed content. These template options make every imported thread match the community's style.
