# Atom / RSS Feed

Atom / RSS feeds are used by the news websites and also many blog pages or podcasts to provide structured information about the offered content.

## How to Set Up

1. Set the URL of your Atom / RSS feed.
2. The feed gets processed and a list of properties that were recognized in the feed is presented in the Suggested properties section. You can pick from this list the properties that you want to synchronize to Recombee.  
You can also create a custom new property and set an [XPath](https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xpath_syntax.asp) for it (relative to the item entry). This is needed especially in the case of large _.zip_ feeds which cannot be fully processed in this step to obtain the suggested properties.
3. Continue to _Preview_ and check that you are getting expected data for all the properties. When you are satisfied, confirm the settings and the feed will get scheduled for processing.
