How to set-up Custom Sharing?

Custom Sharing is an advanced feature of Feedly Pro that allows you to create custom connections from Feedly to a variety of services that Feedly doesn’t support natively. This can be useful for tasks such as automatically creating a short URL in bit.ly or opening a page in Google Translate. This feature requires that you have some knowledge of the URL architecture of the service you intend to share to.

Creating a Custom Sharing instruction:

  1. Go to the Saving and Sharing settings in your Preferences menu on the Feedly web version
  2. Click the checkbox labeled “Custom Sharing” to enable the tool
  3. In the text box under “Custom Sharing,” enter a URL path. Feedly will open a popup to this URL when you click on the Custom Sharing icon, which looks like a paper airplane
  4. You can use the following parameters for the Custom Sharing URL: url,{source}, titleand{id} (See the examples below. You will need to replace the text in curly brackets with your parameters) 

Sharing an article using Custom Sharing:

  1. Navigate to any article using Feedly on your desktop
  2. With an article open, click the Custom Sharing button (look for the paper airplane)
  3. Feedly will open a popup using your Custom Sharing URL from your Saving and Sharing settings
  4. Follow the necessary onscreen instructions to complete the share
