Send your articles to the tools you work in
Inoreader collects the articles, and your other tools act on them. Every new article in a feed, folder or tag can start a Zap, an IFTTT applet or an n8n workflow, and a rule can post matching articles to any webhook.
See pricing- ProZapier, IFTTT, n8n and webhooks are part of the Pro plan.
Link Inoreader to the apps you work in
Connect your account to an automation platform, and every new article in a feed, folder or tag you choose can start an automation. The same goes for every article you tag or save.
Zapier, IFTTT and n8n
Each platform has an official Inoreader app or node, so setting one up comes down to picking a trigger and an action.
Actions in other apps
Post a message in Slack, add a row to a spreadsheet, create a page in Notion, publish a social post, send an email or create a task.
Actions in Inoreader
A Zap or an applet can follow a feed, save a web page or mark a folder, a feed or everything as read, and an n8n workflow can also tag an article, save it to Read later or create a new article in your account from any text.
Connect your tools
- Sign in to Zapier, IFTTT or n8n and add the Inoreader app or node. When the platform opens Inoreader's sign-in and consent page, connect your account there.
- In the platform, choose an Inoreader trigger, such as a new article in a feed, folder or tag, and then the action in the app you want to send it to.
- To send articles to your own endpoint, create a rule with the conditions you need and add the Trigger webhook action with your address.
- Watch the first articles come through. If too much arrives, narrow the trigger with a filter or a folder.
Use cases
A news channel in Slack
Create a monitoring feed for your company and its competitors, and post its articles to a Slack channel as they arrive, through a Zap or, on a Team plan, through a rule that sends them to a Team channel connected to Slack.
A content calendar in a spreadsheet
Tag an article "share" in Inoreader, and it is added to a Google Sheet with its title, link and date for the social media team.
Feeding an in-house tool
Set up a rule on a folder of regulatory sources with a webhook, and each new document goes straight into the compliance team's system.
Frequently asked questions
Which services does Inoreader connect to?
Inoreader connects to Zapier, IFTTT and n8n, each through an official Inoreader app or node, and to webhooks at any address you choose. Through these platforms, your feeds can reach Slack, Google Sheets, Notion, Discord, social media, email and the thousands of other apps they support.
What can start an automation?
An automation can start from a new article in a feed, a folder or a tag, from an article you have just saved, or from a rule that matches an article. When you tag or save an article in Inoreader, it goes wherever the automation sends it.
Can an automation put articles into Inoreader?
Yes. The Zapier and IFTTT actions follow a feed, save a web page or mark a folder, a feed or everything as read, and the n8n node can also tag an article, save it to Read later or create a new article in your account from any source. That way, a report or a document from another tool is filed next to the articles you follow.
How do webhooks work?
Add the Trigger webhook action to a rule and enter the address. Inoreader posts each matching article to that address as JSON the moment it arrives, in the same format as the API's stream contents. A single rule can call several webhooks.
What about Slack and Microsoft Teams?
On a Team plan, a rule with the Send to Team channel action posts the article to the Slack or Microsoft Teams channel connected to that Team channel, without a third-party platform. On Pro, a Zap or an IFTTT applet posts the articles to Slack. Team members who share an article with a comment can send it there directly as well.
Do I need a developer?
No. You build Zapier, IFTTT and n8n automations in the browser from ready-made triggers and actions. The API is there for the cases that go beyond them.
