The [[Offerit]] Feeds [[Ct#Creative|Creative]] type lets you add RSS or ATOM feeds so you can continuously update your [[Ct#Affiliate|affiliates]] and/or [[Ct#Customer|customers]] on changes you have made to your [[Ct#Offer|offer]] or content.

This provides a simply and easy way to keep your subscribed [[Ct#Affiliate|affiliates]] and [[Ct#Customer|customers]] updated without having to create individual news items.

== Adding a Feed ==

You can add a new feed to be used as an [[Ct#Creative|creative]] in [[Offerit]] through the [[Offerit Creatives Admin|Creatives Admin]]. To do so, simply go to the [[Offerit Creatives Admin|Creatives Admin]], go to the "Content Types" creative category, and click the "View Creatives" action icon next to the "Feeds" creative type.

On the next page, you will see a section labeled "New Feeds Creative." Use the available "Feed URL" field to enter the URL of the feed you wish to use with [[Offerit]].

Once you have entered your desired feed URL, you can define that other available settings for your field. These settings include:

* '''Name''' - The name of your new feed.
* '''Type''' - Choose whether your feed is powered by RSS or by ATOM.
* '''Enabled on''' - Choose customers of an offer (or all offers) that you want this mailer to be sent to.
* '''Publish Date''' - Input what date you want this feed to be sent out.
* '''Default Group''' - Select an creative group to categorize the feed under.

Once you have defined all of the available fields, click "Add Creative" to add your new Feed to [[Offerit]].

Your new Feed will now appear in the "Feeds Creative" table, along with the other available feeds. This table provides you with the creative ID number, name, URL, type, and default group of each available feed.

== Activating a Feed ==

Before you can activate your newly created feed through [[Offerit]], you must first add a [[Offerit Rules|"SHOW" rule]]. To do so, click on the "Add a new [[Offerit Rules|rule]]" action icon next to your new feed. On the next page, simply add a "SHOW" type rule for the site whose members you want the feed to be available to. For more information about rules in [[Offerit]], please see our [[Offerit Rules]] wiki article.

Once you create a "SHOW" rule for your new feed, it will be automatically sent out by [[Offerit]] on the publish date that you chose when creating it.
