What you can automate

What can the Feedly Make integration do for you?

The Feedly Make integration links your Feedly account to Make, a no-code tool where you build a scenario (the automation itself, a chain of steps). Each step is a module: something happening in Feedly starts the scenario, and other modules add articles to boards, subscribe to feeds or search what you follow.

Research notes that build themselves. An analyst highlights a passage in an article, New Highlight fires, and the next module sends that passage to the tool where the report is written. Notes added with New Note can travel the same way.

A board fed from outside Feedly. A product marketer collects competitor links in a spreadsheet or a form. Add an Article to a Board reads each URL and files it as an article, so the whole team reads in one place.

New sources added as they are found. When a colleague shares a site worth following, Add a Source to a Feed looks for its feed from the URL and adds it, and Subscribe a Feed places a feed into the categories you pick.

One limit to know upfront: Make states that its documentation for Feedly is incomplete, because little public information exists about this app. You discover the details inside each module once your account is connected. If your stack already runs on n8n, the n8n vs Make page compares both tools. To learn the editor properly, see the Make training, and keep Make troubleshooting close when a run fails.

Connect

How do you connect Feedly to Make?

  1. 01

    Add a Feedly module

    In your scenario, search for Feedly and pick any of its modules. Make then shows the Create a connection button. A connection is your Feedly account linked to Make once, and every Feedly module reuses it afterwards.

  2. 02

    Name the connection

    Giving the connection a name is optional, but it helps later. If you manage a personal Feedly account and a team one, a clear name tells you at a glance which account a module is using.

  3. 03

    Authorize Make and save

    Sign in on the Feedly page that opens and allow Make to access your account, or paste the key Feedly gives you if Make asks for one. Click Save and the module is ready to fill.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with Feedly

GoalWhen a new link lands in your spreadsheet, Make reads the page and files it as an article in a Feedly board.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + in the middle of the canvas. That first module is the one that starts everything.

  2. 02

    Start from your spreadsheet

    Pick the module of the spreadsheet or form where links are collected and connect it. It hands Make one bundle (one item passed to the next module) per new link.

  3. 03

    Add Add an Article to a Board

    Click the + on the right, search for Feedly, choose Add an Article to a Board and click Create a connection. Map the link from the first module, then pick the board.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Add a link to your sheet and click Run once. Open the bubbles above each module to read the bundles they received, then check the article in your Feedly board.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, and turn the scenario on. From then on, each new link becomes something the whole team can read in Feedly.

Triggers

Feedly triggers in Make

5 modules start a scenario when something happens in Feedly. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Feedly as soon as it happens.

Feedly1New Article In Board

New Article In Board

Instant trigger

In MakeActivated when you add an article in a Feedly board.

Every article you drop into a Feedly board becomes the start of a scenario, so saving a link is enough to share it, archive it or log it somewhere else.

How it fires
instant: Feedly calls Make through a webhook (a notification sent to Make) as soon as it happens.
When to use it
your team uses a board as a shared reading list and wants each saved article posted to its chat or copied to a tracker.
Watch out
it reacts to articles you add to a board, not to everything published in your feeds; Watch Articles covers that case.
Feedly2New Highlight

New Highlight

Instant trigger

In MakeThis trigger fires when you highlight text in a Feedly article.

Turns the passages you highlight while reading into data Make can pass along, so quotes stop living only inside Feedly and reach the document where you actually write.

How it fires
instant: Feedly calls Make through a webhook as soon as you highlight text.
When to use it
you read for research, a newsletter or a brief, and want every highlighted sentence collected in one file.
Watch out
each highlight is its own bundle, so ten highlights in one article mean ten runs of the next modules and ten operations each.
Feedly3New Note

New Note

Instant trigger

In MakeThis trigger fires when you add a note to a Feedly article.

Captures the comments you write on an article, which are often the most useful part of your reading, and hands them to the next module as soon as you write them.

How it fires
instant: Feedly calls Make through a webhook as soon as you add a note.
When to use it
your notes are decisions or to-dos, such as "send this to sales", and you want them turned into tasks in your project tool.
Watch out
pick this one rather than New Highlight when your own words matter more than the quoted text.
Feedly4New Prioritized Article

New Prioritized Article

Instant trigger

In MakeThis trigger fires when an article is prioritized.

Starts a scenario only when an article is prioritized in Feedly, which lets you react to the few pieces that matter instead of the full stream of your feeds.

How it fires
instant: Feedly calls Make through a webhook as soon as an article is prioritized.
When to use it
a comms lead wants an alert in the team channel for flagged articles, while the rest of the feed stays quiet.
Watch out
the documentation says nothing about how an article gets prioritized, so test with Run once to see what reaches Make.
Feedly5Watch Articles

Watch Articles

Scheduled trigger

In MakeTriggers when a new article is published in a feed or in a category of feeds, or added to a selected board.

Picks up the articles newly published in a feed, in a category of feeds, or added to a board you select, so a whole topic can flow into your scenario.

How it fires
scheduled: Make checks Feedly on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default, shown by the clock on the module.
When to use it
you follow a category such as competitor blogs and want each new post logged in a spreadsheet, not only the ones you touch.
Watch out
on the Free plan, 15 minutes is also the shortest interval between two checks.
Modules

Feedly actions and searches in Make

Feedly gives you 10 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Feedly1

Add an Article to a Board

Action

In MakeThis action will read content from a URL, and create a new article in a board.

Give it a URL and it reads the page content, then files it as an article in the board you choose. Links collected anywhere end up in Feedly, ready to read.

When to use it
links arrive through a form, an email or a spreadsheet row and you want them in a shared board.
Watch out
the page must be reachable, since the module builds the article from what it reads at that URL.
Feedly2

Add a Source to a Feed

Action

In MakeThis action will try to find a source from a URL, and add it to a personal feed.

Starting from any website URL, this module tries to find the matching source and adds it to one of your personal feeds, so you follow a site without hunting for its feed address.

When to use it
colleagues suggest sites in a form or a chat and you want them followed right away.
Watch out
it tries to find a source, so a site that publishes no feed can come back without a result.
Feedly3

Create an Article in a Board

Action

In MakeThis action will create a new article in a Feedly board. It requires content, a URL, and a title.

Writes a brand new article into a Feedly board from content you supply, which lets a summary, an internal memo or text from another app sit next to your usual reading.

When to use it
you already hold the text and a title and do not need Feedly to read a page.
Watch out
the module requires three things: the content, a URL and a title. Map all three from earlier modules before you test.
Feedly4

Get a Feed

Action

In MakeGets the metadata about a specific feed.

Returns the metadata of one specific feed, so later modules can use its details, for example to label a message or fill a row describing where an article came from.

When to use it
you already know which feed you want and need its information, not its articles.
Watch out
it describes the feed itself; to get the articles, use Search for Articles or Watch Articles.
Feedly5

Make an API Call

Action

In MakePerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.

Calls any endpoint of the Feedly API from your scenario with the same connection, which is how you reach a feature that none of the listed modules covers.

When to use it
you need an operation missing from this page and know which API request does it.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, and Make's Feedly documentation is limited, so rely on Feedly's own API reference.
Feedly6

Subscribe a Feed

Action

In MakeSubscribes a feed to categories. If title is not present, the feed title will be used. If categories is missing, the feed will automatically be added to the uncategorized category.

Subscribes you to a feed and files it into the categories you pick, which keeps your Feedly organized even when sources are added automatically.

When to use it
you already have the feed and want it placed in the right category straight away.
Watch out
leave categories empty and the feed lands in uncategorized; leave the title empty and Feedly uses the feed's own title.
Feedly7

Find Feeds

Search

In MakeSearches feeds based on title, url or #topic.

Looks up feeds by title, URL or #topic and hands back what matches, a handy first step before you subscribe to anything new in a scenario.

When to use it
you have a topic or a site name and want the matching feeds before choosing one.
Watch out
like any search, it can return zero, one or several bundles, and each one runs the modules that follow.
Feedly8

List Categories

Search

In MakeGets categories of feeds.

Brings back the categories that organize your feeds, which gives you the right category to target when a later module subscribes or files something.

When to use it
a scenario must choose a category by name instead of relying on one you typed in by hand.
Watch out
each category comes out as its own bundle, so filter for the one you need before the next step.
Feedly9

List Subscriptions

Search

In MakeGets all sources to which a user is currently subscribed.

Returns every source your account currently follows, which gives you a full inventory of your reading to copy into a spreadsheet or compare against a list.

When to use it
before adding a source, you want to know whether you already follow it.
Watch out
a large account produces many bundles, and every module placed after this one runs once per source.
Feedly10

Search for Articles

Search

In MakeSearches articles using criteria.

Finds articles that match your criteria across what Feedly holds for you, so a scenario can pull a precise set of articles instead of waiting for new ones.

When to use it
a request comes in, for example a client name from your CRM, and you want the related articles gathered.
Watch out
results can be empty; add a filter after the module so the next steps only run when something was found.

FAQ

Questions about the Feedly Make integration

01Is the Feedly Make integration free?
Yes, Feedly is a standard app in Make, so all its modules work on the Free plan. That plan has limits: 2 active scenarios, at least 15 minutes between two scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution per run, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams and Enterprise) lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Make counts usage in operations, one per module per bundle. Feedly's own subscription is a separate matter that this page does not cover.
02What do you need to connect Feedly to Make?
A Feedly account and a Make account. Make's documentation lists no specific prerequisite for Feedly, so the generic steps apply: add any Feedly module, click Create a connection, optionally name it, then authorize Make on the Feedly page or paste the key Feedly provides, and click Save. The connection is created once and every Feedly module in every scenario can reuse it. If the authorization window opens on the wrong account, sign out of Feedly in your browser first and try again.
03Do Feedly triggers in Make fire in real time?
Four of them do. New Article In Board, New Highlight, New Note and New Prioritized Article are instant: Feedly notifies Make through a webhook as soon as the event happens. Watch Articles is scheduled: Make checks Feedly on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default. On the Free plan 15 minutes is the shortest interval; paid plans go down to 1 minute. If speed matters, start from one of the four instant triggers and keep Watch Articles for following whole feeds or categories.
04What if the Feedly module you need is missing in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the Feedly API with the same connection, so an operation absent from the 15 listed modules is still within reach. You write the request yourself, which means reading Feedly's API reference, because Make says its own Feedly documentation is limited by the lack of public information on the app. For everyday needs, check first whether a search module such as Find Feeds or Search for Articles, followed by an action, already covers the job.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Feedly?
It depends on the modules you need and where the rest of your automations run. On Make, Feedly comes with 15 modules, four instant triggers and Make an API Call, all usable on the Free plan, and the editor lets you build a scenario without code. The same app often exists as an n8n node too, so check whether it covers your case before choosing. The comparison page linked above sets out the differences between the two tools in detail, with no ranking in either direction.
