RSS Feed Articles

The RSS Feed is simply an XMLl file that uses code to “communicate” with Publer. Every blog or news site has its own RSS Feed, and you can add it to Publer.

This will make it possible for you to load all the articles on Publer, so that you can then auto-share or auto-schedule them to the specific social networks.

Publer will pick up all of your new RSS Feed articles, store them in Publer's library, and then it will Auto-post, Auto-schedule, or take No Action depending on the settings you have chosen.

Note: In order to prevent abuse, you can only schedule the RSS Feed articles up to 5 years in advance. In case you hit this limit, we recommend you create more time slots in the posting schedule. Each RSS feed article will be assigned to a respective time-slot in the posting schedule. Learn more here.

To Auto-Post new RSS Feed articles:

Go to Explore tab on Publer.



Choose RSS Feeds.



Select the RSS feed of your choice, by clicking on the filter icon at the top right of the screen and Apply.




Click on the Pen icon that appears after selecting the RSS feed. There, you will be able to choose the Settings and edit the RSS Feed.




Click Next on the first page.
Select Auto-Post and decide if you want to use link title/description as caption.
Choose if you want to post the new articles as links or as photos.

This would be useful when sharing to Instagram, Pinterest, or Google My Business, since they do not support link posts.

For Pinterest, you need to have a default board otherwise the article cannot be auto-posted.

Select the social accounts where you want this post to be automatically published.



Finally, decide if you want a posting delay or not and Apply the changes.

Next time a new article is pulled, it will be published to the social media channels you chose, right away.
