Use Shortcodes in RSS Emails
Due to the way we render feed content, to use liquid shortcodes such as {{ subscriber.email }} in an RSS email, you need to wrap them in a special Liquid raw block.
Here's an example:
{% raw %}
Dear {{ subscriber.first_name }},
{% endraw %}
Here are the latest posts:
{% for post in posts %}
{{ post.title_link }}
{{ post.description }}
{% endfor %}

Test emails only pull in the 3 most recent posts from the RSS feed. The live email will pull in all new posts since the last time the Rule ran.
