How do I add a news feed to a Matrix channel?


  1. You must be an Admin in the channel. Find this out by going to the channel and selecting Room info –> People, or clicking on the little circle images of people in a channel. Admins can make other admins.

  2. Go to Room info –> Extensions –> Add extension –> Feeds

  3. Under Subscribe to a feed, add a URL from this GTN feeds listing. Make sure that it ends in .xml. For example, https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/community/feed.xml would provide updates on any community-tagged GTN materials into the Matrix channel.

  4. Under Template, change the existing text to the following: $LINK: $SUMMARY

  5. Provide a reasonable name, and then hit Subscribe!
