Suppressing duplicate RSS feeds

Suppressing duplicate RSS feeds

When adding RSS feeds to a mailing, you may want to suppress duplicate stories.

Using "unique" keyword to suppress duplicates

You can use the "unique" keyword to pull from a single feed, suppressing against all mailings in the named series, e.g. "newsletter".

Example:

$feed news (unique:newsletter) (http://www.news.com/feeds/news)

Using "group-name" to suppress duplicates

You can put a feed in a group, by appending "<group-name>:" to the feed name, to suppress duplicate RSS feeds.

Example:

$feed g:popular (filter:~popular) (http://www.news.com/feeds/stories)
$feed g:funny (filter:~funny) (http://www.news.com/feeds/stories)
[$$$each-article g:popular [1..3] ... first three popular articles ...$$]
[$$$each-article g:funny [1..3] ... first three funny articles, but no duplicates w/ above popular ones ... $$]
[$$$each-article g: [1..3] ... next three articles, from popular first, then funny ... $$]
