We needed something to pull our RSS feed into a newsletter that could be sent from Pardot, the first solution we found was FeedOtter and it does exactly what it says on the tin!
Setup was really easy – it was connected with Pardot in minutes. Setting it up to pull our RSS feed was even quicker.
When I started building a template I found it to be a little bit rigid with minor things like logo dimensions, but after jumping into the template HTML I was able to solve this with little effort.
There aren’t many services for converting RSS feeds to emails and even less that integrate with Pardot. To top it all off, the design is simple and user friendly, while allowing for customization for power users. Finding FeedOtter has helped us consolidate systems, saving both time and money while providing an even better customer experience.
I love the simplicity of FeedOtter. It took no time to implement and get the platform set up and connected to our Pardot system.
Super easy, gorgeous emails from RSS. Works seamlessly and, as a not-super-technical user, I was able to set up weekly RSS feed->Pardot took under an hour. Been easy to do things like modify template, I like it that I can directly edit stuff in HTML
We integrated our FeedOtter with our Pardot Db and send out a weekly branding email. We track opens and clicks within Pardot. Eventually, we’ll add a monthly email to provide flexibility to our subscribers. The product is very easy to use, the customer service is excellent (they went above and beyond in helping set up and made sure I was happy at launch) and the app is a great value for the price.
Automating our weekly emails in 5 different languages with Feedotter saves us a lot of time. Feedotter is the missing ingredient for Pardot, a great tool. Setup is easy, support very helpful. If you have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS you can easily customize your emails. Highly recommend!
