Sharing timely information should be simple. Many organizations already rely on RSS feeds for news, sports, business updates, health alerts, and entertainment content. Korbyt makes it easy to take those same feeds and turn them into dynamic, always-updated content across all your digital signage and workplace displays.
What is an RSS feed? RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a type of web feed that lets you receive automatic updates from your favorite websites, such as news outlets or blogs. When a site publishes new content, the RSS feed delivers the latest headlines or articles directly to you in a standardized, easy-to-read format.
With Korbyt, you can connect RSS feeds in minutes, keep content fresh automatically, and scale updates across as many screens as you need. There is no custom development or manual work required.
Two Ways Korbyt Works with RSS Feeds
Korbyt supports RSS in two distinct ways, giving you the flexibility to choose how much control you need over your content.
Using the RSS Element in a Layout
The RSS Element is the quickest way to display RSS content. Simply add the element to a layout, paste in an RSS feed URL, and choose how it appears on screen—from a full-screen display to a scrolling ticker.
This method works well for simple use cases, like displaying headlines from trusted news sources such as ABC News or BBC, sports updates from ESPN, or business news from The Wall Street Journal. Korbyt automatically refreshes the feed, ensuring your screens stay current without any effort. This approach is best when your primary goal is straightforward visibility and simplicity.
Using RSS as a Data Integration
When you need more flexibility, Korbyt allows you to pull RSS feeds in as structured data using Data Adapters. Instead of just displaying the feed, this method makes individual data fields available right inside the platform.
This powerful feature allows you to reuse RSS data across multiple layouts, combine it with other data sources, and even trigger content changes automatically. For example, headlines, categories, or keywords from an RSS feed can determine what content appears on screen, turning RSS into an active part of your communication strategy.
Simple Feeds or Smart Automation
If you just want to show headlines, the RSS Element is your fastest option. To help you get started quickly, Korbyt also offers a curated list of popular RSS feeds across news, sports, business, health, and entertainment.
When you want screens to react to information intelligently, RSS data integrations give you that control. Both options live in the same Korbyt platform, making it easy to start with simple feeds and grow into smarter, more automated content experiences over time.
