The ReleaseNotes.io importer reads your public RSS feed. No API key needed, but it also means Onset only sees what’s publicly visible.
This importer is in beta. Review the imported releases before pointing customers at your new page.

​
What you’ll need

Your ReleaseNotes.io URL, e.g. yourcompany.releasenotes.io. Before starting, confirm the feed is reachable by opening https://yourcompany.releasenotes.io/feed in a browser. If that returns posts, the import will work.

​
Run the import

1

Open Imports

Go to Settings → Workspace → Import.
2

Start the ReleaseNotes.io import

Find ReleaseNotes.io Import in the list and click Start import.
3

Enter your URL

Type the host only, e.g. yourcompany.releasenotes.io. The https:// is added for you.
4

Wait for the email

The import runs in the background. Onset emails you when it’s finished, so you don’t need to keep the tab open.

​
What comes across

Not imported: drafts and anything not in the public feed, labels, projects, reactions, feedback, and your ReleaseNotes.io audience. Import subscribers separately from a CSV.

​
Feed pagination

The RSS feed serves about 10 posts per page, and Onset walks through the pages until it runs out. Long histories take longer, and the importer stops at 1,000 releases. If you have more than that, email support@onset.io before you start.

​
Re-running the import

Safe. Releases are matched on their slug, and anything already in your workspace is skipped rather than duplicated. If a first pass only caught part of your history, run it again.
