Keeping your social media feeds filled with fresh, relevant content is a key part of engaging your audience. Bulkly’s RSS feed automation feature simplifies this process by automatically fetching new content from your chosen RSS feeds and preparing it for social media updates. Here’s how to harness the power of RSS feeds for effortless content automation.
Step by Step Guide
- Find Your RSS Feed: Choose an RSS feed that regularly updates with content relevant to your audience. This could be your blog, industry news sites, or any content source with a public RSS feed.
- Add the RSS Feed to Bulkly: From the “Content Creation” page, click on the RSS icon. In the overlay select the category you want this content added to. Then enter the full RSS feed URL. Under “RSS Limit”, enter the number of items to fetch from the feed. By default, Bulkly will simply import the title and URL from the feed. However, if you toggle on the “Use ChatGPT to create updates” option, then you can use ChatGPT to write updates based on the URL from the feed. When this is enabled, you need to select (or create) the prompt you want to use when creating the content. Under “Import Option” select whether this is a one-time import or if you want Bulkly to check the feed daily and automatically create content from it. Last, select the status of the update – whether it gets saved as a draft or is automatically approved for use.
- Confirm the Content: You’ll be prompted confirmation of the number of valid items found in the feed to create content. Please note that only valid posts will get saved into Bulkly. Click “Yes” to continue.
- Review the Content: Once Bulkly has created the content, you will find it in your “Posts Library”. Please review it and make changes if needed.
- Monitor and Adjust: Keep an eye on the performance of your RSS feed content and adjust your settings as needed to ensure the content remains relevant and engaging to your audience.
Tips for Success
- Select RSS feeds that are consistently updated with high-quality content to keep your social media feeds dynamic and interesting.
- Use the customization options to ensure the automated content aligns with your brand’s voice and social media strategy.
- Regularly review the automated posts to ensure they meet your standards and adjust your RSS feed settings as necessary.
RSS feed automation is a powerful feature in Bulkly that can save you time while keeping your social media channels stocked with engaging content. By carefully selecting and configuring your RSS feeds, you can maintain an active social media presence with minimal manual effort.
