How to Add RSS Feeds in HubSpot Pages and Posts
HubSpot includes a flexible RSS Listing module that lets you display your latest blog content on website pages, landing pages, and blog templates using customizable fields in the design manager.
This guide walks you through each step to add, configure, and customize an RSS feed module based on the official HubSpot documentation, so you can surface blog content anywhere in your site layout.
Understanding the HubSpot RSS Listing Module
The RSS Listing module is a default HubSpot module available in the design manager. It is designed to pull and render posts from a chosen blog in your account.
With this module, you can control:
- Which blog the feed pulls from
- How many posts to show at once
- What details display for each post
- Whether author, date, and summary appear
- Basic layout and formatting options
Because it is part of the core template tools, the module can be added to any custom template or cloned layout inside the HubSpot design manager.
Where You Can Use RSS in HubSpot
You can place an RSS Listing module in several areas of your HubSpot content architecture:
- Website page templates
- Landing page templates
- Blog listing templates
- Blog post templates
- Flexible column areas on supported templates
This allows you to reuse one blog as a content source across multiple sections of your HubSpot site, such as sidebars, footers, and resource pages.
Step-by-Step: Add an RSS Feed Module in HubSpot
Follow these steps to add an RSS feed to a page or blog template using the HubSpot design manager.
1. Open the Design Manager in HubSpot
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Files and Templates > Design Tools. This opens the design manager, which contains all templates, modules, and themes.
- Use the search bar or folder tree to locate the template you want to edit. This could be a website page template, a landing page template, or a blog template.
2. Select the Template to Edit
- Click the template name to open it in the layout editor.
- Confirm that the template is editable. If it is part of a locked theme or a live marketplace asset, you may need to clone it before adding HubSpot RSS modules.
3. Add the RSS Listing Module
- In the left sidebar, locate the + Add tab to view available modules.
- Search for RSS Listing in the module list. This is HubSpot’s default RSS feed module.
- Drag the RSS Listing module into the desired location on your template layout. You can place it in a main content area, sidebar, or footer region depending on your design.
4. Configure the RSS Listing Options in HubSpot
Once the module is placed, click it to access its settings in the right sidebar. Configure the following fields:
- Blog: choose which HubSpot blog to pull posts from.
- Number of posts: set how many recent posts to display (for example, 3, 5, or 10).
- Title: optionally add a section title such as “Latest Articles” or “From Our Blog”.
- Show author: toggle on or off depending on whether you want the author name visible.
- Show publish date: control whether the publish date displays for each item.
- Show summary: choose if a short excerpt or summary appears under the post title.
These options let you balance detail and compactness, depending on how much space is available in your HubSpot layout.
Customizing the HubSpot RSS Module Display
The visual style of the RSS Listing module is influenced both by module settings and by the CSS in your theme or custom template. Within the module options, you can typically adjust:
- Section heading text
- Content alignment and spacing using the surrounding layout
- Which metadata (author, date, summary) appears
Beyond module settings, you or your developer can style the module via:
- Theme CSS files in the design manager
- Custom classes added to surrounding groups and columns
- Global style settings, if using a theme in HubSpot
Because the module outputs a structured list of posts, it is straightforward to apply consistent branding and typography across the feed.
Using RSS Feeds Across Multiple HubSpot Templates
You can reuse the RSS Listing module in different templates to feature content in strategic locations throughout HubSpot pages:
- Homepage or resources page: highlight the most recent posts.
- Product or service pages: surface blog articles relevant to that service.
- Footer: show a short feed of two or three posts across all pages.
- Blog sidebar: display popular or latest articles from a selected HubSpot blog.
If your account uses multiple blogs, simply select the relevant one for each module instance. This keeps each feed tightly aligned with its surrounding content.
Editing HubSpot RSS Settings Later
You can return to the design manager at any time to change RSS configuration:
- Open the same template in the design manager.
- Click the RSS Listing module in the layout.
- Adjust the number of posts, metadata visibility, or selected blog.
- Publish or update the template so your HubSpot pages inherit the new settings.
These changes will affect any live page or blog that uses the edited template.
Preview and Publish Your HubSpot RSS Feed
Before publishing, always preview your template to ensure the RSS feed looks correct within the page design.
- Click Preview in the design manager.
- Select a sample page or blog that uses the template.
- Confirm that the RSS items appear with the correct number of posts, layout spacing, and metadata.
- When everything looks right, click Publish changes so live HubSpot content reflects the new feed.
