# Access the changelog RSS feed

> Every public portal publishes its changelog as an RSS 2.0 feed at /changelog/rss.xml, so readers and tools like Slack, Zapier, or an RSS reader can follow your product updates automatically.

Your changelog is also published as an **RSS feed**. RSS is a standard format that lets people and tools subscribe to a stream of updates, so every time you publish a changelog entry it shows up automatically in their reader, Slack channel, or automation. There is nothing to switch on: the feed exists as soon as your changelog is live.

<Info>
  The feed is public. It only works while your portal is publicly reachable, so it is not available on boards set to private under [Access & Privacy](/help/portal-widget/access-privacy).
</Info>

## Where the feed lives

The feed sits at `/changelog/rss.xml` on your public portal address. Take your portal URL and add that path:

```
https://yourproduct.sleekplan.app/changelog/rss.xml
```

If you have [connected a custom domain](/help/portal-widget/custom-domain), use that instead:

```
https://feedback.yourcompany.com/changelog/rss.xml
```

Not sure what your portal address is? It is the same address people use to reach your public feedback board. You will find and change it under [**Settings → Public Portal & Widget → Domain**](https://app.sleekplan.com/settings/domain).

## Find your feed URL

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your public changelog">
    Visit your portal and open the **Changelog** tab. This is the page the RSS feed mirrors.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the feed path to your portal address">
    Take the portal address from the browser bar (for example `https://yourproduct.sleekplan.app`) and add `/changelog/rss.xml` to the end. Open that URL in a new tab to confirm it loads.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/sleekplangmbh/pG3b4XyaaaMFtQ_e/images/portal-changelog-rss-raw-feed.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=pG3b4XyaaaMFtQ_e&q=85&s=b47b22cc443a5983537a1b7570998c5e" alt="The raw changelog RSS feed shown as XML in the browser" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/portal-changelog-rss-raw-feed.png" />

    The page returns raw XML rather than a styled page. That is expected: the feed is meant to be read by apps, not people. Copy the URL from the address bar to use it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Subscribe with your reader or tool">
    Paste the feed URL into any tool that accepts RSS: an RSS reader (Feedly, Inoreader), a Slack RSS app, an automation platform (Zapier, Make), or your own script. It will pull new entries automatically as you publish them.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What the feed includes

The feed lists your most recent **published** changelog entries, newest first. To keep it clean and public-safe, some entries are left out:

* **Drafts and scheduled entries** stay hidden until they go live.
* **Hidden or segment-targeted categories** are excluded, so entries meant for a specific audience never appear in the public feed.

Each entry in the feed carries its title, a description, a publish date, and a link back to the full entry on your changelog.

## Common uses

* **Post updates to Slack or Teams** automatically with the platform's built-in RSS app.
* **Trigger automations** in Zapier or Make whenever a new entry is published, for example to cross-post to social media or a status page.
* **Let power users follow along** in their own RSS reader without needing an account.

<Note>
  If you would rather notify people by email when you ship an update, use the **Subscribe** button on your public changelog instead. That collects email subscribers who receive each new entry directly.
