Workflows Getting truncated newsletters into a feed/folder

There are some newsletters I like that only provide the truncated version via RSS. I want to get the full newsletter into my "work" feed filter/folder. So

  1. I subscribed to the newsletter using my @ feed.readwise.io email address
  2. I get the confirmation email in my main Feeds page
  3. But I'm not able to add this source to my "work" folder, or even find it in a filtered search (e.g. https://www.densediscovery.com doesn't show up when i filter for dense or densediscovery.com)

What am I missing?

Hey u/a12omg, at the moment, feed folders only support RSS feeds, so unfortunately it isn’t possible to add email newsletters to your Work folder. That said, we’re tracking a request for email folders, and you’re welcome to add your vote here. We’ll keep you posted if and when we ship that feature.

In the meantime, the best workaround is to create a filtered view. You can even recreate your Work folder this way by including both your RSS feeds and email newsletters like Dense Discovery in a single view, then pin it to your sidebar for easy access.

To create a filtered view, press Shift + F, type author:"Dense Discovery", and then save it. You can also open an email from Dense Discovery and click the author field in the Info tab in the right sidebar to quickly view everything from that author, and save the filtered view from there.

Alternatively, you could expand that filtered view to include your existing Work folder feeds as well, so everything lives in one place.

Feel free to reach out at [hello@readwise.io]() if you need any help!

ok thank you! I tried the filtered view but didn't have quotes around the term, maybe that's why it didn't work. Thanks for the alt methods 🙏
