How to Create an RSS Listing Report

March 8, 2025

Jotform allows you to generate RSS feeds for form submissions, keeping you updated on new entries in real time. Since RSS follows a standard XML format, you can use it to fetch submission data, integrate it with other applications, or automate workflows effortlessly. This makes it a powerful tool for tracking form activity without constantly checking your Jotform account.


Generating an RSS Listing Report is quick and simple. Here’s how to do it:

  1. On your My Workspace page, click on Type at the top and in the Dropdown menu that opens, uncheck the boxes next to all the assets except Forms, so only they’ll be shown on the page.
On the Jotform My Workspace page, the 'Type' dropdown menu is open, with all asset options unchecked except 'Forms,' showing only forms on the page
  1. Now, click on the form that you want to generate an RSS Listing Report for.
  2. In the menu at the top of the page, click on Reports.
Selected form with the top menu bar visible
  1. Then, click on Add New Report.
Displays the 'Reports' menu open, with the 'Add New Report' option visible, allowing the user to create a new report in Jotform

As an alternative, you can also click on More on the right side of the screen and in the Dropdown menu, click on Create Report.

The 'More' option is on the right side of the screen
  1. On the Create Report page that opens, click on RSS Listing.
On the Create Report page, the 'RSS Listing' option is visible for selection in Jotform
  1. Next, set up the following options:
    • Report Name — Enter a name for your RSS report.
    • Fields — Select the form fields to include in the feed.
    • Report Configurations — Enable or disable additional report settings the way you want them.
      • Password Protection — Secure your RSS feed with a password (optional).
  2. Now, click on Create at the bottom of the page, and you’re all set.
The Create Report page displays options to configure the RSS Listing

You’ll then be prompted that the RSS Listing Report is ready, and now you can do the following things:

  1. Copy Link Button — Copy the RSS listing report to your clipboard.
  2. Open Report Button — Open the RSS listing report in a new tab.
  3. X Button — Close the RSS report window.
A prompt appears confirming that the RSS Listing Report is ready

If your RSS report is password-protected, you’ll need to append ?passKey={your_password} to the feed URL when accessing it in an RSS reader or program. Check out the example below:

Note

The RSS listing report is generated in XML format, which may not be easily readable on its own. To view the data in a structured format, open the report link in an RSS reader. A recommended option is QuiteRSS, a free and open-source RSS reader.
