How to Set Up Automatic Social Posts Using an RSS Feed

Step 1: Go to the RSS Post Feature

• Navigate to:
  Marketing & Emails > Social Planner > New Post

• Select the “RSS Post” option.
  

Step 2: Add the RSS Feed URL

• Paste the RSS URL from the blog or content source you want to use.
  

• Not sure how to find it? See the “How to Find an RSS Feed” section below.
  

Step 3: Choose Your Social Platforms

• Select the social media channels you’d like to post to.
  

⚠️ Note: Due to API restrictions, Twitter/X is currently not supported.

Step 4: Add Text, Hashtags, or Links

• Use the “End With” field to add a consistent closing statement, like:
  
  “Read more at [yourwebsite.com] #MarketingTips #BlogUpdate”
  

  

Step 5: Set How Often the Feed Checks for Updates

• Choose how frequently Tekmatix should check the feed:

  • Every 5 minutes

  • Hourly

  • Once a day
    (Best practice: Hourly for active blogs, daily for slower ones)
    

Step 6: Choose Number of Posts Per Check

• You can allow 1 to 5 new posts to be fetched and published at each interval.
  

• Example: Selecting “3” means Tekmatix will post up to 3 new items from the feed at each check, but will not duplicate previously shared content.
  

How to Find an RSS Feed

Here are common examples of where to locate RSS feeds from different platforms:

Website Type

RSS URL Format Example

WordPress Blog

https://example.com/feed

Tumblr

https://example.tumblr.com/rss

Blogger

https://example.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default

Medium Publication

https://medium.com/feed/example-site

YouTube Channel

Channel URL often works in feed readers

If none of those methods work:

1. Right-click on the website and select “View Page Source”.
   

2. Press Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F) and search for “rss” or “atom.”
   

3. Copy the URL next to it—it’s your RSS feed!
