You can now subscribe to your favorite collectives’ updates using RSS feeds! RSS is an open standard that lets you get automatic notifications whenever a collective posts new updates, similar to following someone on social media, but delivered directly to your favorite news reader app or RSS client.
Since RSS is an open standard, you can also integrate these feeds with automation tools like N8N, Zapier, or IFTTT to trigger workflows – imagine automatically posting collective updates to your Discord server, sending them to Slack, or adding them to a spreadsheet for tracking – though some of these use cases can also be covered by using webhooks.
How to use it: Find your collective’s RSS feed at rss.opencollective.com/[collective-slug]/updates.rss – just replace [collective-slug] with the collective’s name from their URL.
