P Push Notification Service

RSS to push

Point us at your site's RSS or Atom feed and every new entry becomes a push notification: no code, no API calls, no cron jobs on your side. Publish as you always do; your subscribers hear about it within minutes.

Setting it up

  1. Open your site in the dashboard and click Feeds.
  2. Paste your feed URL (must be https://). RSS 2.0 and Atom both work.
  3. Optionally pick target tags; only subscribers with one of those tags get the pushes. No tags means everyone.
  4. Optionally set a daily limit (default 5): the most auto-pushes the feed may send per day.

How it behaves

  • No archive blasts. When you add a feed, everything already in it is marked as seen without sending. Only entries published after that first check are pushed.
  • Checked every few minutes, politely: we use conditional requests (ETag / Last-Modified) so unchanged feeds cost your server almost nothing.
  • Chronological order. Multiple new entries push oldest-first, each as its own notification, up to your daily limit.
  • Freshness rule. Entries older than 48 hours are never pushed, so a feed that republishes its archive, or a backlog after downtime, can't flood your subscribers.
  • What the notification looks like: the entry title becomes the notification title, the entry summary (tags stripped) becomes the body, the entry link is the click-through URL, and an https image enclosure becomes the notification image when present.
  • Quota-aware. Auto-pushes count against your monthly deliveries like any other send and are skipped (and retried) when you're out of quota.

Troubleshooting

  • The Feeds page shows the last poll time and any error (unreachable URL, invalid XML, HTTP failures) per feed.
  • Feed URLs must be public https URLs. Private hosts and IP addresses are rejected.
  • Entries need a guid/id or a link, and a title; entries without both are skipped.
  • Want a post not pushed? Publish it, wait for it to age past 48 hours while the feed is paused, then resume, or simply pause the feed before publishing and resume after two days.
