You can add an existing RSS feed to NATS and use it as an [[ct#Adtool|adtool]].
This article uses a Free Hosted Gallery RSSdish feed that provides
articles for each Free Hosted Gallery in a NATS database.

Log into your NATS affiliate program site and navigate to the Adtools
admin. Click on View/Modify drop down list and select Feeds. Then select
a site from the Sites drop down list and click the Go! button. This
gives you a short form to fill out to create the Adtool Feed for you.
Once created, your affiliates will have access to this feed via the
adtools_adv.php page. Figures 1.1 through 1.4 depict this process:

After the form has been completed, click the Add This Feed Adtool
button. The adtool appears at the bottom of the list of Feed Adtools
on the screen. You may visit the adtools page in the affiliates area of
your NATS affiliate program to view the feed links. Once there, select
your [[ct#Campaign|campaign]] and program through which you would like any traffic
generated by this adtool to be sent and click the Show Adtools button.
Then click the rss link next to the desired site. Figures 1.5 through
