Feedbin Actions Quickstart Setup Guide
One of the best reasons to use Feedbin, in my opinion, is their actions
feature. It allows you to filter almost anything automatically by setting up
custom search parameters.

Step 1 - Creating Actions in Feedbin

To create actions in Feedbin, go to the settings button and click Actions.

Then click Add action.

The options here are virtually limitless. For example you can create an
action that:

● Stars any post containing a keyword.

● Stars any post that is missing a keyword.
● Stars any post from a specific website.
● Stars any posts from a group of websites.
● Sends a push notification.
● Mix and match any of the above together.

In other words, you can get as detailed as you want. This lets you bake
almost human-level intelligence and decision-making into your automatic
actions. So you don’t have to do anything but create an action to monitor
for very specific jobs and projects.
Step 2 - Using the Starred Feed

Feedbin lets you view your Feed in three views: Starred, Unread, and All.
The Starred feed is particularly useful because you can create actions that
star posts matching your criteria.

Here’s what creating an action that stars posts looks like:

The starred feed also le’s you talks to other apps.

For example, say you have a VA helping you with lead generation. You can
setup a Feedbin action to star any jobs matching a criteria (for example
‘Content Marketing RFP’) and then use Zapier to add create a to-do for your
VA in your Asana account for each post in this starred feed.

Another simpler example of using the starred feed: if you’re only interested
in remote work posted on Dribbble.com, you could create an action that
stars any job posted on Dribbble using the word “anywhere.”

You no longer have to worry about seeing non-remote Dribbble jobs on

your feed. You can just check your starred feed.

Over time you can create site specific rules for every client project source in
your feed.
Step 3 - Creating Complex Actions

The potential for customization is almost limitless with this system. To

give you an idea of how complex and fine-tuned it can get, here’s one of the
search terms I use that generates almost perfectly filtered dream UI and
UX design clients on a consistent basis.

title:(designer OR design OR ux OR ui) NOT title:(textile OR cad OR

motion OR manager OR facebook OR Angular OR engineer OR developer OR
industrial OR sr OR senior OR Google OR "m/f/d" OR production OR
upwork OR intern OR recruiting OR staffing) AND content:(freelance
OR contract OR remote part-time OR "day rate" OR "10 hrs" OR "20
hrs" OR "30 hrs") NOT content:(instructor OR 401 OR "willing to
relocate" OR "annual leave" OR "unpaid leave" OR "onsite" OR 401k OR
"Unlimited PTO" OR "equal opportunity employer" OR "located in" OR
"continuing education" OR "at our office" OR "corporate culture" OR
"local candidates only" OR "toptal" OR "on-site" OR "full-time" OR
upwork OR contract-to-hire OR "in Houston, TX" OR "in Orlando, FL"
OR "Competitive salary" OR "Houston")

What this basically says is anything that has UI, UX, or design in the title,
while also NOT having a bunch of terms which are not relevant in the title
AND the same for the body of the post, will get starred.

Don’t worry if it doesn’t make a ton of sense right now. Just know that you
can come back to this later and you’ll already have a strong starting point
once you grasp actions better and are ready to take it to the next level.

Setting up proper Feedbin actions makes sure you don’t burnout by

continuing to work and filter opportunities long after you’ve set it up.
