Description
This simple and lite plugin adds a block to the Newsletter composer which inludes in newsletters the content from
RSS feeds.
RSS is actually a bit declining today, but there are many services still exposing them and there are services able to convert
social stream (Instangram, Facebook and so on) to RSS feeds, making them avalable in such (almost) standard format.
Note: this plugin uses the internal WordPress libraries to parse the RSS. It absolutely needs the contribution of experts to be extended to
custom RSS feed fields and/or custom RSS feeds available outside. Participate!
Nice to have (with your help)
- Many feeds have an HTML description which contains an image. Would be nice to parse that description and extract the image for
better bloc formatting.

“RSS for Instagram” (just an example) to find services which provide that feature or other nice solution, for example
with Zapier.
What you need, at the end, is an RSS feed URL.
