Automating your social media content with RSS feeds is a powerful way to ensure your channels are consistently updated with fresh, relevant content. Bulkly’s RSS feed automation feature allows you to automatically fetch and post content from your favorite blogs, news sites, or your own website. Here’s how to set up RSS feed automation in Bulkly for a hands-off approach to content curation.
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 high-quality, reliable RSS feeds that align with your brand’s values and audience interests.
- Use the review option for automated posts initially to ensure the content fits your brand and meets your quality standards.
- Regularly update your RSS feed selections and settings based on content performance and audience feedback.
RSS feed automation in Bulkly simplifies the process of keeping your social media feeds active and engaging. By carefully selecting and configuring your RSS feeds, you can automate a significant portion of your content strategy, freeing up time to focus on engagement and other creative efforts.
