You can add an RSS feed to your Webflow site using a native page connected to a CMS Collection. Webflow automatically generates RSS feeds for CMS-based blog-style content.
1. Use a CMS Collection
- Create a CMS Collection (e.g., Blog Posts) in your Webflow project.
- Add required fields like Name, Slug, Post Body, Publish Date, etc.
- Go to the Pages panel in the Webflow Designer.
- Scroll to the CMS Collection page (e.g., Blog Posts).
- Click the gear icon next to the Collection page to open Page Settings.
- In the RSS Feed Settings section:
- Toggle on "Enable RSS Feed".
- Fill out the RSS Title, RSS Description, and Author Name fields. These will appear in the resulting XML feed.
- Choose the content fields (e.g., Post Body) that the RSS feed will use in its description and content.
3. Publish Your Site
- Publish your site to either the Webflow.io subdomain or your custom domain.
- The RSS feed will be available at this autogenerated URL:
https://yoursite.com/blog/rss.xml
(Replace /blog/
with the slug of your CMS Collection page.)
- Use a validator like W3C Feed Validation Service to check for errors.
- Test the URL in an RSS reader to ensure content is showing properly.
- You can now share the RSS URL with users or submit it to platforms like Feedly or podcast apps.
- Many email marketing tools or integrations (e.g., Mailchimp or Zapier) can pull content from your RSS feed.
Summary
To add an RSS feed in Webflow, enable RSS from the settings of a CMS Collection page, configure the required fields, and publish the site. Webflow auto-generates the /rss.xml
URL for you, making distribution easy.
