Introduction

Web publishing is a tool within SafeZone Command which allows operators to create web pages which host RSS, CAPS EDXL (Common Alert Protocol), JSON or XML feeds. These feeds can be updated as part of the sending of a Notification Template or Custom Message.

Third parties can then poll the feed to pass on notifications through their own systems. Common examples include:

• Polling an RSS feed to integrate with another app
• Digital Signage Providers ingesting the EDXL (CAP) feed
• Other messaging software providers (Teams / Slack / etc.) polling the RSS feed
• Social media consumers polling the web feed.

Creating or editing a Web Feed

1. Go to Admin - Notifications - Web Feeds 

2. Click on "Create New Feed" button at the top right of the page 

3. Enter a Name and Description for your feed then, if you are ready to immediately start publishing select "Enabled" otherwise you can leave it switched off for now
4. Click "Save" to continue or "Cancel" to go a back to the Web Feeds page without creating a feed.
5. To select the feed format, go back into the feed you created and select from the drop list under "Feed URL" (JSON, XML, RSS, EDXL {CAP})

6. The URL will then be updated to match your requirements. You can copy this to the clipboard using the symbol, or open the URL in a new tab using the symbol.

7. Click "Save" to confirm changes

   Note: To change the destination URL, you can press the "Regenerate Token" button at the bottom left of the pop-up window, before pressing "Save"

Viewing and Managing Web Feed Documents

You can view Web Feed documents (web feed updates) which have been sent from Command in the Web Feed Documents section. Here you can filter results by:

• When the feed was created
• Whether it is expired or active
• Web Feed Name

Clicking on a specific web feed allows you to manually mark it as expired.
