Automation

This is a general tag for articles on automating social media publishing, ranging from the simple case of mirroring a single blog to one Facebook Page, up to multi-brand, multi-network distribution running across several PostRSS Targets at once. In PostRSS terms, automation means connecting a feed once, choosing which networks to publish to, and letting the 5-minute (or 1-minute, on Enterprise) feed check handle the rest without further manual input. Articles here are a useful starting point before moving to the platform-specific guides elsewhere on the blog, since they cover the shared concepts — feeds, Targets, Tasks, and refresh intervals — that apply across every network PostRSS supports. They also cover the tradeoffs of full automation, such as losing manual control over exact post wording in exchange for consistency and speed. Use this tag as a hub for understanding how the pieces fit together before diving into a single network's setup guide.
