Feeds

Any inbox tab can be an Atom feed: Needs you, FYI, Needs you + FYI, or one of your saved views. Use it in a feed reader, a Slack feed app, or a script.

Make a feed

1. Go to Settings → Inbox → Views and feeds.
2. Choose the feed button (the RSS icon) next to a tab. Hush makes the feed and copies its address.
3. Paste the address in your feed reader.

Hush shows the address only this once: it keeps only a hash of it. Copy it from the message if the copy did not work. If you lose it, make a new one.

The feed button of a tab with a feed has a menu: New feed URL and Turn off feed.

Keep the address secret. Anyone who has it can read the feed, with no sign-in. If it leaks, choose New feed URL or Turn off feed: the old address stops working at once.

What is in a feed

The feed has the threads that are in the tab now, newest first. Each entry has:

• The title: what happened and the thread's title, such as “CI failed on your PR: Fix login”.
• The link: the thread's main action on GitHub.
• The repository, the number, why GitHub notified you, and the newest comment.
• The author, and the list (action or fyi) as a category.

Feed readers usually check every few minutes; the feed can be up to 2 minutes old. A feed of a saved view stops working when you delete the view.
