Help for publishers and readers

What is SendRSS?

RSS-to-email and lead capture for publishers. A widget, a confirm link, and mail that sends readers back to the post.

Create an account

Sign in with Google or a one-time email link. That click creates the account. There is no password.

Sign in

Use Google or a one-time email link. There is nothing to remember except your inbox.

Start here

Four steps for a new publisher: feed, list, widget, then RSS email. The rest of the sidebar can wait.

The publisher workspace

What each sidebar page is for, and what you can skip until you need it.

Try a widget without signing in

Paste a site or RSS URL on the homepage to preview a capture form. Embed it after you create an account.

There is no password reset

SendRSS has no passwords. Request a new sign-in link, or use Google.

Update your profile

Change your display name in Account. The sign-in email cannot be edited there.

Close your account

Delete the workspace in one step. A hashed-IP audit record is kept for admin. Subscriber lists are not.

Export your account data

Download a JSON copy of the account, feeds, subscribers, and tickets from Account.

Appearance and cookies

Light or dark is an essential cookie. Optional extras on marketing pages stay off until you allow them.

Add a feed

Paste a website or RSS/Atom URL in Feeds. We find the feed when we can. Plan limits cap how many you can add.

Edit or pause a feed

Open a feed to change settings or pause polling so new items are not picked up.

Delete a feed

Deleting a feed removes its items from SendRSS. Lists and subscribers on that feed are also removed.

How RSS email is delivered

New feed items become a letter to confirmed subscribers. Each plan caps how many RSS emails a list can send per day.

Send RSS email

Save a list and template once. New posts then go out on your plan cadence. Each list can be used only once.

Create a subscriber list

A list belongs to one feed. Widgets capture into the list. RSS email uses the list as the audience.

Delete a list

Removing a list deletes its subscribers and the widgets attached to it. RSS email for that list stops.

Double opt-in

Every subscriber starts pending. Nothing is mailed until they use the confirm link.

Subscriber statuses

Pending, confirmed, or unsubscribed. Unsubscribed keeps the row; erase removes it.

Export subscribers

Download CSV from Subscribers or Account. JSON export covers the whole account.

Unsubscribe vs erase (publishers)

Unsubscribe stops mail and keeps the row. Erase deletes the address and events for that list.

Create a widget

Create a list first, then a widget. Plan limits cap how many widgets you can save.

Customize a widget

Pick a look, then change colors, type, corners, layout, and copy. Blank headings are omitted.

Save a widget

Saving stores the design and copy. Embed the snippet after you save — drafts on the builder are not live.

Embed a widget

Copy the script or iframe from a published widget. Then follow the steps for Blogger, WordPress, Ghost, Squarespace, or any HTML site.

Add the widget to Blogger

Paste the Script snippet into an HTML/JavaScript gadget. Use it on every page for a modal or floating bar.

Add the widget to WordPress

Paste the Iframe snippet in a Custom HTML block. Use the Script snippet in the site footer if you need a modal or floating bar.

Add the widget to Ghost

Paste the Iframe snippet in an HTML card for an inline form. Use site footer code injection for a modal or floating bar.

Add the widget to Squarespace

Paste the Iframe snippet in a Code block for an inline form. Use site-wide code injection for a modal or floating bar.

Add the widget to an HTML site

Paste the Script snippet where the form should appear. Works on static sites, custom themes, and any host that allows HTML.

Delete a widget

Deleting a widget stops the embed. The list and subscribers remain unless you delete those too.

Widget layouts and looks

Inline, modal, or floating bar. Ten free looks. Pro adds stacked, split, poster, masthead, dock, well, and ribbon forms.

Create an email template

Saved templates style RSS mail. Pre-designed templates are available on RSS email. Broadcasts pick a look when you send.

Customize an email template

Change layout, colors, and branding. Attach the template when you save RSS email.

Delete an email template

You can delete templates you own. Pre-designed templates stay. Change RSS email to another look first if it still uses this one.

Article vs broadcast templates

Article mail follows the feed. Broadcast templates style a one-off letter to the list.

Create a broadcast

Pro and Business can write one constrained letter to a list. Save a draft before you send.

Send a broadcast

Send to confirmed subscribers on the list. Large sends may wait for review. Quota is monthly.

Broadcast approval

High-volume sends can wait for review before they go out. You will see the status on the broadcast.

Delete a broadcast

Drafts and leftover records can be removed from Broadcasts. Mail already sent cannot be pulled back.

Plans and limits

Free, Pro, and Business cap feeds, lists, widgets, subscribers, and broadcasts. Yearly saves 30%.

Upgrade your plan

Choose Pro or Business on Billing or Pricing. Checkout is handled by our merchant of record.

Downgrade your plan

Extra feeds, lists, and widgets stay, but you cannot add more until you are under the new limits.

Yearly billing

Pay for the year and save 30% versus monthly. Renewals and refunds follow the refund policy.

Invoices, portal, and refunds

Open the billing portal for invoices and cancellation. Refunds are handled by the merchant of record.

Confirm your subscription

After you join from a widget, open the confirm link in your inbox. Until then you are not on the list for mail.

Unsubscribe from a list

Every email includes an unsubscribe link. That stops mail. Your address can stay on the list as unsubscribed.

Delete your reader data

Use Delete my data from the email. That removes your address, hashed IP, and events for that list.

What readers receive

A letter when the publisher posts, or an occasional broadcast. Always a way to leave.

No ads and no tracking (readers)

SendRSS does not put ads in the inbox or profile you with pixels. We store what we need to send mail.

What we store

Accounts, feed URLs, subscriber emails, hashed IPs, and delivery events. We do not sell data.

Hashed IPs

We truncate the address, then hash it. Admin audit logs after account closure use the same method.

Contact support

Publishers open a ticket in the workspace. Everyone can use the public contact form.
