Push messages from Messages XR Enterprise to a website page

This article explains how to connect Messages XR Enterprise to a Composer website using RSS so that messages sent to the Feeds channel automatically appear on a public-facing web page in real time.

💡Quick answers

What is the benefit of connecting Messages XR Enterprise to a website via RSS? Messages sent to the Feeds channel appear automatically on your public website in real time, eliminating manual updates.
Connecting your MXRE messages to display on a Composer website page? Create a page in Composer, add an RSS Feeds element, then copy the RSS Subscription URL from Settings > Organization config > Delivery Options and paste it into the RSS element.
Where do I find the RSS Subscription URL in Messages XR Enterprise? Navigate to Settings > Organization config tab, select your organization, open Delivery Options, and copy the RSS Subscription URL.
Should I use the embedded RSS widget or the RSS Subscription URL? Use the RSS Subscription URL - it provides more control and customization through the Feeds element without requiring HTML edits.
Do I need to disable the header and footer on the Composer page? Yes, disabling the header and footer keeps the layout clean so the page displays message content without extra navigation.

Step 1: Create a space in Composer for most recent messages

Follow these steps to create a standalone page that pulls content from messaging created in Messages XR Enterprise via RSS and places it onto this new page:

Create a new page in Composer. Give your new page a Title, such as "Live updates” or “Important Announcements”.
In the Page layout and appearance menu, disable the Header and Footer on this new page by selecting None in the dropdown. This will keep the layout clean.
On your new page, go into Compose mode, open up the Element library > Module tab and scroll down to insert the RSS Feeds element onto your blank page.

After you complete Step 2, you'll return back to this Composer page's RSS Feeds element to complete the connection process.

Step 2: Obtain your RSS details in Messages XR Enterprise

Now you are ready to copy your RSS Feeds information so that you can paste it in the next step to complete the connection to your Composer website.

Access your RSS details:

Navigate to Settings > Organization config tab
Select the organization from which your message(s) leading to the RSS Feeds element will be sent.
Once open, scroll down and select Delivery Options for that selected organization.
Inside the Delivery options window, find and copy the RSS Subscription URL into your clipboard.
Copy the RSS Subscription URL into your clipboard.

Important Notes

Having trouble finding the RSS Subscription URL? Look directly above the RSS Feed widget. The raw URL you need is located at the top of that section.
Although embedding the RSS widget that you see just below the RSS Subscription URL might seem convenient, using the RSS Subscription URL is the preferred method. It gives you far more control and customization through the Feeds element without needing to edit HTML code to make adjustments.

Step 3: Connect the RSS details back to your Composer page

Now you will navigate to the Composer page you built in Step 1, armed with your new RSS information.

When you're back in Composer, open up your RSS Feeds element settings by clicking the settings gear.
Now you can make adjustments to customize the way your messages appear to your site visitors on this new composer page.

Step 4: Include the RSS channel anytime you send out messaging

Once you click Save, any message sent to the Feeds channel in MXRE will automatically appear on your website page. Learn how this works in the article, "Create and send a message" in the section, "Send to Feeds."

Now your site visitors can stay even more engaged by seeing updates to this new page.

Best Practices

Once configured, no manual updates are needed—your site will stay in sync with every alert, announcement, or reminder you publish.

Tips for setup and visibility:

Link the feed page from your homepage or navigation for easy access.
Test the feed by publishing a sample message in MXRE and confirming it appears on the new page.
Use consistent formatting in MXRE to ensure messages display cleanly on your site.
