We're always interested in hearing what people think. You can email us at [email protected]

Blogtrottr provides a variety of schedules for you to choose from:

• Real time - every update gets its own email.
  • Free plan - real time for WebSub enabled feeds, or we poll every hour for other feeds.
  • Paid plans - real time - via WebSub, or our Advanced Polling for other feeds.
• 2/4/6/8/12 hourly or daily digests - multiple updates are rolled into a single email.

If your feeds support WebSub (previously known as PubSubHubbub or PuSH), then you can expect to get an update within a couple minutes of a new item being posted. Typically email leaves our system with 10 seconds of us being notified - although the internet being what it is, the email may take a bit longer to find its way across the world and into your inbox.

WebSub is a protocol that allows interested parties to be notified almost immediately when new content is added to a feed, rather than having to wait for a periodic check. It's quickly gaining traction, so there's a good chance that some of your favourite feeds already support it.

Not to worry, we'll autodetect any available feeds from a website URL, and present you with a list you can choose from.

Simply go into your Account Settings page, edit the Email field, and click the Change button. We'll send a confirmation email to the new address - just follow the link within, and the change is complete.

If the feed supports basic HTTP authentication, then yes - you can embed a username and password into a URL like this: http(s)://username:[email protected]/feedname.xml
This means of course that we'll have these credentials stored in plain text, and while we won't reveal them to anyone it'd be a sensible precaution to use a unique password, and not one that you use on other sites or services.

At the bottom of any update email you get should be an unsubscribe link - you can click that to remove a particular subscription.

Or, you can signup for an account using the email address you used previously, and then you can manage all your existing subscriptions through your web browser.

Alternatively, if your email client supports it, you can one-click unsubscribe.

When editing a subscription, you have the option of adding static text or tags to the email subject.

All dates and times are based on your user account timezone setting.
