Our Newsletter Editor allows you to insert and send RSS feeds and dynamic elements in your newsletter. Use these options to regularly inform your recipients with an email containing your latest offers and news.
This helpcenter post explains what RSS feeds and dynamic content are in email marketing, how you can use them for sending your newsletters and insert them in your email and where to get further help.
What is an RSS Feed? What is a Dynamic Element in a Newsletter?
RSS is short for "Really Simple Syndication“.
An RSS feed is a simple way of keeping your readers and customers posted. If your website offers an RSS feed, your subscriber will receive an update as soon as you publish a new post, and they can either see a summary or view the entire post. A post can also come in shape of a special offer, blog post, tweets or news ticker.
A element is called "dynamic element“, if the content of the element only starts loading when a recipient opens your newsletter.
This makes an inserted RSS feed in your email a "dynamic element“.
The [Layouts] element in our Newsletter Editor easily lets you insert dynamic content in your email.

When editing your newsletter, you can see two tabs on the right – [Elements] and [Design].
