Creating a custom feed
Set up a custom feed to organize receipts into a focused collection and invite others to collaborate.
Custom feeds let you group receipts for a specific purpose, a research project, a themed collection, a team workspace. You can create as many as you need.
How to create a custom feed
You can create a custom feed from two places.
From a video page
Shared receipts visible to everyone watching this video.
Click a tab to switch - each feed type keeps your receipts organized
- Navigate to any video page
- Click the Manage Feeds button in the feed panel
- Click Create New Feed
- Enter a name and optional description for your feed
- Choose whether the feed should be scoped to this video or global (visible on every video page you open)
- Click Save
Your new feed will appear in the feed selector for the current video, ready to use.
From your dashboard
- Open your Dashboard and select the Feeds tab
- Click Create New Feed in the My Feeds section
- Fill in the same details as above
Creating from the dashboard keeps you on the dashboard, it does not redirect you to a video page or change your active feed.
Plans and quotas
Custom feeds are a paid feature. The number of feeds you can own depends on your plan:
| Plan | Custom feeds you can own |
|---|---|
| Free | 0 (you can still join feeds shared with you) |
| Individual Pro | 5 |
| Creator Pro / Creator Elite | Unlimited |
| Business Starter | Unlimited |
If you hit your plan's limit, the Create Feed dialog will automatically open the upgrade flow with a recommended plan. You can keep existing feeds even after downgrading, only newly-created feeds count against the limit. Being added as an Admin, Poster, Commenter, or Lurker on someone else's feed never counts against your own quota.
Adding receipts to a custom feed
There are a couple of ways to get receipts into your new feed:
When creating a new receipt
- Open the receipt editor on a video
- Select your custom feed from the Feed dropdown before saving
From an existing receipt
- Use the Add to Feed option on any receipt to copy it into your custom feed
- You can also move a receipt from one feed to another if you'd prefer not to keep it in the original
Tips
- Give your feed a clear name so collaborators know what it's for
- Use the description to explain the feed's purpose or guidelines
- You can always rename or update your feed later from the feed manager
