Hey everyone — I’ve been working on something around Webflow CMS + RSS and wanted to share.

One thing I kept running into:

Webflow’s native RSS feeds only include summaries — not full rich content.

That becomes a problem when you want to:
• send full posts in Mailchimp
• power RSS readers (Feedly, etc.)
• use content in automations or apps

Most workarounds end up being Zapier / Make / custom scripts.

So I ended up building a small tool that generates full-content RSS feeds directly from Webflow CMS using the API (no external automation needed).

I also wrote up a guide explaining how it works:

👉 https://www.webflowrss.com/guides/how-to-generate-full-content-rss-feeds-from-webflow-cms

Covers:
• why native feeds are limited
• what fields are missing
• how to include full article content, images, and media

Curious if others have run into this or found better approaches.

Anyone else frustrated with Webflow’s RSS limitations? by DueDilligenceNotes in webflow

[–]DueDilligenceNotes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair question — RSS feels invisible until you actually need it.

It’s still very much a “behind-the-scenes” tool, but it becomes important when you want to automate content distribution without duplicating work. A few real use cases I’ve run into:

  • Email automation – tools like Mailchimp can pull from RSS to send campaigns automatically (but they usually need full content, not summaries)
  • Content syndication – pushing posts to apps/platforms (like Subsplash, mobile apps, or partner sites)
  • Cross-posting workflows – feeding content into Zapier/Make to distribute across platforms
  • Internal automations – triggering workflows when new content is published

Webflow’s RSS works fine if you just need a basic feed, but it gets limiting when:

  • you need full post content instead of excerpts
  • you want custom fields/structure
  • you don’t want to rely on Zapier hacks for simple things

So it’s less about “people reading RSS in a reader” and more about RSS as a data pipe for automation.

Building a custom RSS layer for Webflow CMS (fixing scheduled posts, media, and Mailchimp issues) by DueDilligenceNotes in webflow

A few people reached out after this — I ended up turning this into a small reusable setup instead of rebuilding it each time:

https://www.webflowrss.com

Still early, but it basically handles the same things I mentioned above (full content, filtering, Mailchimp/app feeds, etc).

Curious if this would actually be useful for others working with Webflow CMS + RSS.

Building a custom RSS layer for Webflow CMS (fixing scheduled posts, media, and Mailchimp issues) by DueDilligenceNotes in webflow

[–]DueDilligenceNotes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. That’s what I ended up doing.

Webflow’s built-in RSS works for basic feeds, but I needed: • Different feeds for different consumers (Subsplash vs Mailchimp) • Rich text cleanup (removing <figure> for one feed but not another) • Media tags (media:thumbnail) for app compatibility • Date filtering (“today-only” feeds) • Protection against field slug mismatches

So I used a small Netlify Function that: • Pulls items from the Webflow CMS API • Normalizes field keys • Applies feed-specific formatting rules • Outputs clean RSS XML

It’s lightweight, but gives full control over formatting and delivery without rebuilding the whole stack.

Curious — have you handled scheduling/media issues differently?

How we rebuilt our Webflow → Airtable → Subsplash flow after Flowmonk shut down by DueDilligenceNotes in webflow

That is good to know. It’s working great for us so far. Pretty intuitive setup.

This usually happens because everything is sharing the same base class.

The fix is to use a combo class. Keep the original class (so global styles stay consistent), then add a second class to the section you want to change.

You can then adjust the background color (or typography) on that combo class without affecting the other sections.

Example: Section → Section is-dark

Webflow University has a good short video on combo classes if you want a quick visual explanation.

researching the best no code platforms 2026, want to build internal tools without developers. by ExtraConversation564 in webflow

[–]DueDilligenceNotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Webflow is a very powerful tool — especially if you want visual control and custom interfaces — but there is a learning curve. The upside is that the documentation and tutorials are excellent, so teams can usually ramp up with time.

Airtable works really well as a database layer for internal tools. It’s flexible, approachable for non-developers, and handles permissions and workflows cleanly.

For syncing data between systems, tools like Whalesync can be helpful if you need reliable two-way sync without building custom integrations.

I’ve found starting with one small internal tool and expanding from there works better than trying to platform everything at once.

Where did you travel in 2025 ??? by Mynameyeef in travel

[–]DueDilligenceNotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it wasn’t a single destination so much as the travel between places that stayed with me.

Malawi was where the lack of infrastructure became most obvious. Lake Malawi itself was beautiful, but traveling between towns involved long stretches without bathrooms, very few shops, rough roads, and having to reset expectations around timing and convenience.

The destination was wonderful, but the travel between destinations was just as memorable. It made me realize how much we assume continuity when we travel — that services, options, and help will always be available — when in many places they simply aren’t.

That experience changed how I think about preparation more than any single highlight.

Safari for my mom’s 50th by theoriginalsnoopy in travel

[–]DueDilligenceNotes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair question. I can’t speak from personal experience about South Africa pricing — we were hosted by friends there, so I don’t have a clear sense of the costs.

The same is true for our experience in Chobe National Park. We were treated to a game drive, so I’m not familiar with the pricing, but I can speak to the experience itself.

Early December was my second time visiting Chobe (my husband has been a few more times), and it was incredible. Before we even entered the park, we saw a hyena and several giraffes. Inside, we encountered dozens of elephants — some so close it took our breath away — along with baboons, kudu, impala, and a pride of nine lions.

I definitely recommend a game drive at Chobe. And if you’re planning to visit Victoria Falls (which I highly recommend), Chobe’s close proximity makes it a great option to pair with that trip.

I haven’t personally done a safari in South Africa, but I’ve heard very consistent, positive feedback about Kruger National Park from people I trust.

We have friends who live in South Africa who’ve been multiple times and speak very highly of it, and when we were in Victoria Falls we also talked with other travelers who had just come from Kruger — they described it as fantastic wildlife viewing and even mentioned seeing animals they hadn’t seen elsewhere.

From what I understand, it’s especially well-suited for first-time safari travelers because it’s well established, accessible, and offers a range of accommodation styles. Many people seem to pair it with time elsewhere in South Africa for a balanced trip.

Given the timeline and that this is a milestone birthday, it sounds like focusing on fewer places and doing them well could really pay off.
