Based on the send options you set for your RSS campaign, we'll send out emails with new content as posts are added and the feed is updated.

Enable Dynamic Content

When you design an email, you can turn any content block into Dynamic Content that displays only for certain recipients. This helps target different types of subscribers at the same time with a single email.
