How to Set Up RSS Email Campaigns in GoHighLevel

Using ClickUp for project planning and GoHighLevel for marketing automation is a powerful combo when you want to automate content distribution. This step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to build and run an RSS email campaign in GoHighLevel so your subscribers automatically receive updates whenever you publish new blog posts.

The process is based on the official platform workflow and walks you through adding an RSS feed, testing it, creating an email template, and launching a recurring campaign using your blog content.

What Is an RSS Campaign in GoHighLevel?

An RSS campaign in GoHighLevel lets you pull new content from a blog or website feed and automatically send it to your email list. Each time your RSS feed updates, the system checks for new items and can trigger a campaign email using your chosen template.

This is ideal if you regularly publish posts and want an automated way to notify subscribers without manually building each email.

Prerequisites Before You Start in GoHighLevel

Before creating an RSS automation, make sure you have:

  • An active GoHighLevel account with access to the Marketing section.
  • A valid RSS feed URL from your blog or website (for example, a WordPress or other CMS feed link).
  • A contact list or smart list prepared in your account so you can choose recipients for your campaign.
  • A basic understanding of email templates and campaigns inside the platform.

Step 1: Add an RSS Feed Inside GoHighLevel

The first step is to connect your blog feed to the platform so GoHighLevel can read your published posts.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.

  2. Navigate to the Marketing section from the main left-hand menu.

  3. Click on Emails and then locate the RSS option or RSS campaign configuration area.

  4. Select the option to Add New RSS Feed or similar.

  5. Paste your blog’s RSS feed URL into the feed field.

  6. Confirm or save your new feed so GoHighLevel can start reading it.

Make sure the URL you add is a proper RSS or XML feed, not just your homepage URL.

Step 2: Verify and Test the RSS Feed

After you add the feed, verify that GoHighLevel can pull in the content correctly.

  1. Open the RSS feed you just added inside the system.

  2. Look for a Preview or Test option to view recent feed items.

  3. Confirm that the latest posts are showing with the correct titles, descriptions, and links.

  4. If you see errors or no content, double-check your feed URL or validate it using an external RSS validator.

The goal is to ensure GoHighLevel can consistently read your feed before you attach it to an email template.

Step 3: Create an Email Template for GoHighLevel RSS Campaigns

You now need a template that will dynamically display your newest feed items inside an email.

  1. Go to the Marketing > Emails area in GoHighLevel.

  2. Click Templates and choose to create a New Template.

  3. Select a blank layout or a simple layout that will allow for dynamic content blocks.

  4. Look for RSS or Blog Feed elements in the email builder.

  5. Drag and drop the RSS element into your email layout.

  6. Connect the element to the RSS feed you previously added.

  7. Configure how many posts to display (for example, 3–5 items).

  8. Customize how each item appears, such as:

    • Title
    • Excerpt or description
    • Publication date
    • Read More link

  9. Style the email body, header, and footer to match your branding.

  10. Save the template with a clear name (for example, “Blog RSS Newsletter”).

This template will be reused every time the GoHighLevel RSS campaign sends, automatically filling in with the latest content.

Step 4: Build the GoHighLevel RSS Campaign

With your RSS feed and template ready, you can set up the main campaign.

  1. Navigate again to Marketing > Emails in GoHighLevel.

  2. Choose Campaigns and click Create Campaign (or the equivalent option).

  3. Give your campaign a descriptive name, such as “Weekly Blog RSS Campaign”.

  4. Select your From Name, From Email, and Subject Line. Consider a subject that reflects new blog content, like “This Week’s New Articles”.

  5. Set the campaign type to one that supports RSS or repeating sends, depending on how the interface describes it.

  6. Choose the email template you created earlier with the RSS element.

  7. Configure the schedule:

    • Decide how often to send (daily, weekly, or monthly).
    • Pick the day and time that best matches your audience’s time zone.

  8. Select the contact list or smart list that will receive this campaign.

  9. Review your sender details, preview the email, and check that the RSS content is loaded correctly.

  10. Save the campaign settings.

Once this is saved, GoHighLevel can automatically send the RSS-driven email according to your set schedule.

Step 5: Schedule and Activate the GoHighLevel RSS Automation

Before going live, you need to activate the campaign and ensure the schedule aligns with your publishing cadence.

  1. Open your new RSS campaign in GoHighLevel.

  2. Confirm the schedule parameters (frequency, time, and time zone).

  3. Double-check that the correct RSS feed and template are linked.

  4. Send a test email to yourself to confirm formatting, links, and dynamic content.

  5. If everything looks correct, toggle the campaign to Active or On.

From now on, the system will check the RSS feed at the defined intervals and send the email whenever new items are available, depending on how your configuration handles fresh posts.
