News feeds post new items from any site with a feed into a channel: a trade paper's articles, a partner's status page, a supplier's release notes or your own blog. Each card has the headline linked, a short summary, the picture and the author, under the feed's own name, and anyone replies in a thread.
For Teams who follow trade news, a partner's status page or a supplier's release notes.
Each new item posts as a card with the headline as a link to the article, a short summary, the article's picture when it has one, and who wrote it. Cards post under the feed's own name and icon, so they're easy to tell from people, and anyone can reply in a thread to talk about the story. Freesbe reads RSS, Atom and JSON Feed.
An owner or admin opens News feeds in workspace settings and pastes the feed's address, or just the website's, like blog.acme.example; Freesbe finds the feed the site links to and shows its title and newest items. Pick the channel, rename the feed if you like, and leave Post the newest item now on to see a card right away. Everything already in the feed counts as seen, so the channel isn't flooded with old articles.

A busy feed can post only what matters to the channel. In Only post items about, list words separated by commas, like singapore, maintenance; an item posts when one of them is in its title or summary, whatever the capitals, and the rest are skipped. To post the same feed into two channels, add it twice, each with its own keywords.
Freesbe checks each feed every 15 minutes and asks the site for changes only. A quiet feed is checked less often, up to every two hours, and goes back to every 15 minutes as soon as something posts. At most five cards post from one check; when more came out at once, one more message says how many, with a link. When a site stops answering, the feed says so with the reason and is paused after three days, with one note in its channel.
News feeds in a channel is included in every plan, including Free. Free includes a couple of feeds; the count grows with each paid plan, see pricing limits.
