Q: Does utobo Email support automated RSS-to-email newsletters?

Hi team,
Does utobo Email support native RSS-to-email functionality, allowing us to connect RSS feeds from blogs, news websites, podcasts, or other content sources and automatically populate newsletters with new content?

Specifically:

1. Can we add one or multiple RSS feeds directly to an email newsletter template?
2. Can it automatically pull article titles, images, excerpts, and links into a formatted newsletter?
3. Can newsletters be sent automatically on a daily, weekly, or custom schedule whenever new content is published?
4. Does it include contact form builder I can embed?
5. Is this functionality available natively without Zapier, Make, or third-party integrations?
6. Will you add MCP and api with endpoint and web hooks?

If not currently supported, is RSS-to-email automation on your roadmap?

Thanks,
Marcus

Hi Raj, that sounds great! I will use the API key to sync with my SaaS site. A couple of last things: what do you mean by "Sequences"? Also, regarding privacy: does your team or development team have any access to my emails?

Well there you have the security issue: a couple of our engineers can technically reach the database..

hey Marcus — fair to push on it. that’s how any hosted service works: someone has to run the infrastructure. We keep it tight — your data is isolated per account at the database level, encrypted at rest and in transit, mailbox credentials sit in an encrypted vault, API keys are hashed, and 2FA is available. nobody on our side opens your account unless you’ve asked us to look at a specific problem.

Thanks, Raj. Standard encryption with team DB access is a dealbreaker since we handle highly sensitive emails.
Other platforms solve this via Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) or Client-Side Encryption, where only the client holds the decryption keys and your infrastructure team sees nothing but ciphertext.

Hey Marcus — really appreciate you spelling this out. we don’t have BYOK yet but if it matters for teams like yours it’s something we’d seriously look at building. Quick ask so I understand it properly: which email platform are you using (or have seen) that does this, and how does it work in your setup? that’d help us scope it right 🙏

Appreciate your openness! Have you considered client-side, zero-knowledge encryption, like Proton Mail or Tuta? Customers retain control of their decryption keys, while your servers store only encrypted data. This could significantly improve privacy for contacts and campaigns, though automated sending and AI processing would need separate safeguards. Is this on your roadmap?

with all the data hacking, this would be an important direction if you want to be taken seriously and mostly survive

Appreciate your feedback here! My friend doesn't stop praising Proton Mail now I know why. you’re right — this is worth doing for both sending and receiving. it’s on our priority list to build, and I’ll update you as we make progress 🙏

Ok, I normally doesn't do this, but I made an order to support you. I hope you will implement the security solutions I shared so I can one day make use of it.
