Overview

Access Volcanic includes several standard XML feeds—such as feeds for Indeed, jobs, and blogs—accessible directly within the admin area. If your integration needs go beyond these standard formats, a custom XML feed can be developed.

Key Benefits

  • Enables integration with third-party platforms or partners

  • Delivers only the data you need in a specific structure

  • Tailored to meet bespoke formatting or system requirements

Availability and Cost

  • Not included in standard features – Custom XML feeds require additional development.

  • Chargeable service – Costs are outlined in the Access Volcanic Services Catalogue.
