How it works

Set up RSS to Slack in 3 steps

01

Paste your RSS feed URL

Any RSS 2.0 or Atom feed works — Hacker News, GitHub releases, competitor blogs, podcast feeds, arXiv, or any site that publishes a feed.

02

Connect your Slack workspace

Authorize DiffHook once and choose the channel where alerts should land. You can route different feeds to different channels.

03

New items post automatically

DiffHook polls your feed up to every minute and posts a formatted Slack message the moment a new item appears. Each alert includes the title, source, and link.

Why use Slack for RSS alerts

RSS notifications your team will actually read

💬

Formatted for Slack

Alerts arrive as clean Slack messages with the item title, source name, and a direct link — no raw XML, no noise.

📌

Route feeds to channels

Send competitor news to #competitive, GitHub releases to #engineering, and podcast drops to #marketing. One feed per monitor, any channel.

📡

Works with any RSS or Atom feed

News sites, podcasts, GitHub releases, YouTube channels, Reddit, arXiv, and any valid RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0 URL.

FAQ

Common questions about RSS to Slack

Does Slack have a built-in RSS feature?
Slack previously offered a first-party RSS app, but removed it. DiffHook fills that gap — paste any feed URL, pick a Slack channel, and new items post automatically.
How often does DiffHook check my RSS feed?
Paid plans poll up to every minute. The free tier checks once per hour. You can upgrade at any time to reduce latency.
Can I send different feeds to different Slack channels?
Yes. Each monitor targets one feed and one Slack channel. Create as many monitors as you need to route competitor news to #competitive, releases to #engineering, and so on.
Does it work with Atom feeds as well as RSS?
Yes. DiffHook supports both RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0. If a site publishes a feed URL, it will work.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free tier includes 3 monitors checked every hour with no credit card required. Paid plans start at a low monthly fee and unlock per-minute polling and more monitors.
