How to Add RSS Feed URL in Ready Social

Integrating RSS feeds into Ready Social allows you to automatically share content from your favorite websites and blogs directly to your social media accounts. This feature enables you to keep your social media profiles active and up-to-date with the latest content from trusted sources. By adding an RSS feed, Ready Social will regularly check for new content and share it according to your set preferences. You also have the option to schedule this content manually, giving you complete control over your social media strategy.

In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to add an RSS feed to your Ready Social account, customize the settings to match your needs, and ensure that your social media posts are timely and relevant.

Let us see how:

1. On the left navigation bar, click on Setup -> Feeds from the sidebar menu.

2. Click on the Add Feed button. This will take you to the Add Feed page.

   

3. Now enter Feed details:
   • Feed Name: Enter a name for the feed that will help you easily identify it later.
   • RSS Feed URL: Enter the RSS feed URL of the site or blog. Ensure it is a valid RSS feed URL, not just a general blog URL.

   • Frequency: Select how often Ready Social should check for new posts. For example, if you set it to "Every 12 hours," Ready Social will read new posts every 12 hours.

     💡Frequency refers to the intervals at which Ready Social checks for new content on the feed URL. Choose a frequency based on the activity level of the feed. For example, select "Every 6 hours" for frequently updated feeds, or "Every 24 hours" for less active feeds.

   • Number of Posts: Choose how many new posts Ready Social should read at each interval. For example, if you select 2 posts, Ready Social will read 2 new posts every 12 hours.
   • Hashtags: Enter the hashtags you want to include when the feed content is shared on your social networks. Ready Social will append any 2 hashtags from your list to the posts.
   • Post Type: Select whether the feed content should be shared as a 'Text post' or an 'Image post.'
   • URL Shortening: Optionally, turn on URL shortening for your posts.

4. Choose the accounts from your 'Group(s)' and 'By Clients' where you want the feed content to be shared.
5. After filling in all the required fields, click Save. Your new RSS feed URL is now added to your Ready Social account.
