MarketingProductivityAnalyticsAIAutomationCommunity

Feedly is an AI-powered content intelligence platform that aggregates RSS feeds, website feeds, and AI-curated topic streams into a unified reading environment — used by teams to track competitors, monitor industries, and surface relevant research from millions of sources. Connect Feedly to Actionist and your agents can react to new articles within about a minute: routing intelligence to CRM records, Slack channels, and knowledge bases; saving curated content to boards; subscribing to new sources as your business landscape evolves; and capturing human curation signals like highlights, notes, and priority marks so insights flow to the right tools without requiring readers to switch apps.

Funding round alert triggers sales outreach task

When Feedly's Leo AI surfaces a funding round article, the agent saves it to the Sales Triggers board, logs a deal activity on the matching HubSpot company record, and posts an alert to the #sales-intel Slack channel — all within about a minute of publication. Reps engage on funding events before most competitors know they happened.

Savings

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

Without Actionist

What you do manually today

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    45 min / week
    Manual competitive monitoring

    Reps check Feedly manually, copy article links into CRM notes, and post updates to Slack themselves — a 10-minute per-article task that often gets skipped during busy periods.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent routes competitor and prospect news to CRM automatically

    When a new article appears in monitored competitor or prospect feeds, the agent logs it as a deal activity in HubSpot and posts an alert to the sales channel within about a minute — reps have intelligence before calls without opening Feedly.

  • Marketing
    60 min / week
    Manual content idea triage

    The content team reviews Feedly manually, picks relevant articles, copies them to a content ideas doc, and writes up briefs — 30 minutes of editorial triage per session, twice a week.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent turns trending articles into content briefs automatically

    When a popular article appears in the Industry Trends folder, the agent creates a Notion content brief, adds the article to the Campaign Research board, and alerts the content team in Slack within about a minute — no manual editorial triage required.

  • Customer Support
    30 min / week
    Reactive vendor advisory monitoring

    Support teams learn about vendor incidents from customers, then scramble to find the advisory, verify it, and brief the team — often losing 2-4 hours of lead time per incident.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent sees vendor advisories within about a minute and creates a support KB entry

    When a vendor publishes a security advisory or release note, the agent saves it to the relevant board, posts to #security-alerts, and creates a knowledge base entry in Notion before any customer reports an issue.

  • Human Resources
    40 min / week
    Manual research note-taking

    HR team members copy-paste interesting excerpts into a shared doc or Slack message, which are then manually organised into the research library — 5-10 minutes per useful article.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent captures reading highlights to the research library without extra steps

    When a team member highlights a passage in Feedly, the agent creates a Notion research library entry, adds the article to the HR Insights board, and posts the excerpt to the HR Slack channel — highlighted insights become searchable records automatically.

  • Finance
    30 min / week
    Manual regulatory filing checks

    Finance team members run periodic manual searches on EDGAR, FCA, and ICO sites for competitor and regulatory updates — a 30-minute search session that misses real-time publications.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent routes regulatory filings to the risk register within about a minute

    When a new filing or regulatory guidance is published in a monitored feed, the agent logs it to the compliance radar board and creates a risk register entry — the finance team sees it within about a minute, not when someone runs a manual EDGAR search.

  • Operations
    20 min / week
    Manual vendor feed subscription management

    Ops team manually adds vendor status pages and blogs to Feedly when they remember — new vendors often go unmonitored for weeks until an incident reveals the gap.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent maintains Feedly subscriptions as the vendor landscape changes

    When a new vendor is onboarded, the agent subscribes to its status and changelog feeds in Feedly automatically — operations tracks service incidents without anyone manually adding a new feed.

  • Legal
    25 min / week
    Manual compliance article processing

    Legal team manually copies regulation articles into email threads, assigns review tasks in Notion by hand, and books review meetings one by one — 20-30 minutes per significant regulatory article.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent converts priority articles into compliance workflows automatically

    When a legal team member marks a regulation article as priority in Feedly, the agent creates a Notion compliance assessment page, alerts #legal, and schedules a review meeting — a priority mark becomes a complete action plan within about a minute.

FAQs

Questions about Feedly + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Feedly?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find Feedly, and click Connect. The recommended path is OAuth — Actionist opens a Feedly sign-in window, you authorise access, and the agent can immediately read your feeds, folders, and boards. No API key or token pasting required. Actionist runs a test read after authorisation to confirm the connection before any agent tasks run.
How quickly do Feedly triggers fire in Actionist?
Feedly triggers in Actionist fire within about a minute of the underlying event (a new article appearing in a feed or folder, an article being prioritised, saved for later, or added to a board). Feedly uses a webhook-based push model for most events, so detection latency is typically low, but Actionist does not guarantee sub-minute delivery for every event.
Can the agent automatically save articles to a specific Feedly board?
Yes. Feedly's board system lets you organise curated articles, and the Add Article to Board action lets agents pull content from any source — a news alert, a competitor mention, a web-search result — and save it directly into the appropriate Feedly board. Combined with the New Article in Board trigger, you can build a two-way pipeline: content flows in automatically, agents annotate and route it, and your team only sees what's been pre-curated.
Does Subscribe to Feed work for both RSS and website feeds?
Feedly supports both RSS feeds (any URL that publishes a valid RSS/Atom feed) and website feeds (Feedly's own crawler that follows websites even without RSS). The Subscribe to Feed action works for both types. If you provide a URL that publishes RSS, Feedly adds it as an RSS feed; if not, it attempts to create a website feed. The agent can subscribe to new sources automatically when, for example, a competitor registers a new blog or a monitoring tool surfaces a new domain of interest.
What are Feedly AI Feeds and how do they work with Actionist?
Feedly's AI Feeds are curated by Feedly's Leo AI model, which monitors millions of sources and surfaces articles matching a topic or query you define. In Actionist, the New AI Feed Article trigger fires within about a minute when Leo surfaces a new article matching your AI feed criteria. This is particularly useful for competitive intelligence, threat monitoring, and trend tracking — the agent can react to a Leo-surfaced article immediately, routing it to Slack, Notion, or a CRM record without a human having to open Feedly.
How does the New Priority Article trigger work in practice?
Feedly's New Priority Article trigger fires when you (or a team member) marks an article as a priority inside Feedly. In an Actionist workflow, this lets you use Feedly as a human-in-the-loop curation layer: the agent watches all incoming feeds automatically, and when a person manually marks something as high priority, the agent immediately takes downstream action — drafting a Slack summary, creating a Notion page, or routing to a CRM contact — without waiting for the person to do more.
What happens when I highlight text in a Feedly article — can Actionist capture that?
The New Highlight trigger fires when you highlight a passage in an article inside Feedly. Actionist can pick up that highlight text and act on it — saving it to a Notion database, appending it to a Google Doc research log, or posting the excerpt with the source URL to a Slack channel. For research teams, this creates a seamless 'mark and capture' workflow: you highlight the useful sentence, and your agent handles the filing.
Which Feedly plan do I need to use Actionist's Feedly integration?
Feedly is available on a free plan (limited sources), a Pro plan (more AI features including Leo), a Pro+ plan, and an Enterprise plan (team boards, SSO, API access, Sharepoint and SIEM integrations). Actionist connects to Feedly via OAuth and uses the Feedly API — the actions and triggers available to the agent depend on your Feedly plan. Most Zapier-equivalent triggers and actions work on Pro and above. For full board sharing, team features, and AI feed access, you need Pro+ or Enterprise.
