Automate Your Social Media: How to Put Your Content Distribution on Autopilot

The Power of RSS-Driven Automation

Connect the Platforms That Matter Most

• Facebook Pages: Keep your Page audience engaged and informed without lifting a finger.
• X (formerly Twitter): Share rapid updates and catch the trending traffic instantly.
• LinkedIn Profiles & Pages: Establish professional authority by sharing your industry insights automatically.
• Pinterest Boards: Turn your visual blog content and images into automated traffic-driving pins.

Why Top Content Creators Automate with PostRSS

1. Maximized Content Reach: Your global audience lives in different time zones. Automation ensures your feeds remain active 24/7, capturing views and clicks even while you sleep.
2. True Native Previews: PostRSS doesn’t just paste raw links. It supports rich media, allowing you to embed beautiful images and inline videos so your automated posts look entirely organic and high-quality.
3. Zero Delayed Indexation: The faster your content is shared on social media, the faster search engines notice it. Automatic posting helps boost your overall SEO efforts and immediate traffic spikes.

How to Get Started in Less Than 5 Minutes

• Step 1: Plug your website's RSS or Atom feed URL into your PostRSS dashboard.
• Step 2: Connect your preferred social media accounts.
• Step 3: Customize your posting preferences and hit activate.

What Happens Between Publishing and Posting

It helps to know what the autopilot actually does after you click Publish. PostRSS checks each feed on a fixed schedule: every 5 minutes on all plans, including Free, and every minute on Enterprise plans. You can also choose a slower interval for a source, up to once a week, if a feed changes rarely.

When a new item appears, PostRSS builds the post from it. The text comes from one of nine message formats made from the item title, the item description, the page title or your own static text. The picture comes from the feed item or, if the feed has none, from the Open Graph image of the linked page. The link points back to your article, and PostRSS can add your own query parameters to it, such as utm_source=postrss, so your analytics shows exactly what each network brought.

Autopilot With Rules You Set

Automation does not have to mean posting everything everywhere. Each source and target has settings that keep the output under control:

• Keyword filters. List words to include or exclude for a source. PostRSS matches them in the item title and description and posts only the items that fit.
• Posting windows. On paid plans, post only between chosen hours, or at exact times on chosen days in your time zone.
• Order and volume. Publish newer or older items first, or in random order, and set the maximum number of posts per update so a busy day does not flood your followers.
• Hashtags from categories. The categories and tags of each item can become hashtags, up to a set limit, on networks where hashtags make sense.
• Catch-up for older content. Pick a start date and PostRSS also posts older feed items that were never published.

Feeds, CSV Files and Plugins

Most websites already have a feed. WordPress, Blogger, Ghost, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Joomla, Drupal and many other platforms publish one automatically, and YouTube channels have a feed for new videos. If you do not have a feed, the Professional plan and above can use a CSV file instead, where one row becomes one post. Official plugins for WordPress, PrestaShop and OpenCart build the feed and create the targets for you, so you never have to copy a feed address. See the integrations page for the exact feed address on each platform.

Choosing a Plan for Your Autopilot

The Free plan posts to one Facebook Page, which is enough to see the whole process working. Paid plans add more posts, more targets and more networks: Professional covers 48 network types with 10 targets, and Ultimate adds X, Telegram channels, Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads. PostRSS has been running since 2014, and every plan posts automatically; the difference is how much and how often.

FAQ

How fast does a new article reach my social networks?

PostRSS checks your feed every 5 minutes on all plans and every minute on Enterprise plans, so a new article is usually posted within minutes of going live on your site.

Do I need to write any code?

No. You paste your feed address, connect an account and choose your settings. Developers can also use the PostRSS REST API v1 and webhooks if they want to connect their own systems.

Can I post to a Facebook Group automatically?

No. PostRSS posts to Facebook Pages only, because Meta closed the Facebook Groups publishing API in April 2024. No tool can post to Groups automatically today.

Can I stop some articles from being posted?

Yes. Keyword filters let you include or exclude items by words in their title and description, so only the content you want is shared.

هل توجد خطة مجانية؟

Yes. The Free plan posts 10 posts per month to one Facebook Page. Paid plans from Start to Enterprise add more posts, targets and networks.
