Use this task to create an additional feed of your podcast for a separate audience, platform, or use case. A custom feed lists only the episodes that carry the labels you choose. The default feeds stay unchanged. ## Before you start * The current Podigee plans include custom feeds. On an older plan, they are available only when the plan includes them. * You must be the owner of the podcast, or an organization member with the permission to edit podcast information. * Decide the labels that select the episodes. You assign labels to an episode in its **Custom feeds** tab. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Classic view" %} ### Create the feed 1. Open the podcast and select the **Feeds** tab. 2. Select **Edit custom feeds**. The **Feed Editor** opens. 3. Select **Create new feed**. Podigee creates a feed with a temporary name and opens it. 4. In the **General** tab of the feed, enter a **Feed name**. Use up to 60 characters, only lowercase letters, digits, and underscores. The name must be unique within the podcast and is part of the feed address. 5. Select the **Feed item count**. 6. Under **Search labels**, enter a label and select **Add**. Repeat for every label. A feed without labels lists all episodes. 7. Select the **Sorting order** (**Ascending** or **Descending**) and the **Sort by field** (**Publishing time** or **Title**). 8. Use **Test search** with **Published episodes only** to check which episodes the feed lists. The test shows up to 10 results. 9. Save. ![The Feed Editor page Edit feed of a podcast without custom feeds, with the button Create new feed and the empty feed table](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b12f7747aeba88cbea0f350e5949ebfa2e5b8220%2Fdoc-hosting-008-classic-feed-editor.png?alt=media) The Feed Editor lists the custom feeds of the podcast and starts a new one with Create new feed. ### Assign labels to episodes 1. Open an episode and select its **Custom feeds** tab. 2. Add the labels that match the feed. 3. Save the episode. ![The Feeds tab of an episode with the section Episode labels, the Labels field with the Add button, and the button Edit custom feeds](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-eb2e78892f2a057d3cb97f2acc87608984ebb7a4%2Fdoc-hosting-008-classic-episode-labels.png?alt=media) On the episode, the Episode labels field takes the labels that match a custom feed. An episode appears in a custom feed when at least one of its labels matches a label of the feed. Only published episodes appear in the public feed. ### Redirect or delete a custom feed 1. In the **Feed Editor**, open the feed and select its more options tab. 2. To redirect the feed, enter the **New feed URL** under **Redirect**. 3. Save. The custom feed then answers with a permanent redirect to that address. 4. To delete the feed instead, go to **Delete feed** and type the feed name. The dialog warns: "Deleting a feed is irreversible!" 5. Confirm. ### Expected result The **Feeds** tab lists the custom feed with its address `https://.podigee.io/feeds//mp3` and a copy field. The feed lists the matching published episodes, limited to the item count, in the selected order. Custom feeds are not paged: the item count is the only limit. ### If you cannot complete the task * The **Feeds** tab shows **Upgrade to use custom feeds** ("Custom feeds are not included on your current plan..."): select **See upgrade options**. * The message "You are not authorized to edit feeds (multi-feed feature might be disabled for your plan)" appears: your plan does not include custom feeds. * Podigee rejects the feed name: use only lowercase letters, digits, and underscores. Choose a name that no other feed of this podcast uses. * When you delete the podcast, Podigee deletes all its custom feeds. See [Delete a podcast](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/delete-a-podcast.md). {% endtab %} {% tab title="Podigee workspace" %} The Podigee workspace does not include custom feeds yet. Switch to the classic view to create, redirect, or delete a custom feed. {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## Next step [Manage podcast feeds](/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/manage-podcast-feeds.md) for the default feeds, or [Restrict a podcast to invited listeners](/documentation/create-and-publish/publishing-and-distribution/restrict-a-podcast-to-invited-listeners.md). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/create-and-publish/hosting-and-management/create-custom-feeds.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
