RSS-Based Blog & Social Media Automation

A fully automated system for generating articles based on an RSS feed and automatically posting social media updates about the created articles. This provides users with a completely automated content creation and social media marketing solution.

Setting Up the RSS Feed on the User’s Side

The user configures their RSS feed using a chosen service (e.g., RSS.com, Feedly, etc.). This typically involves entering keywords to generate a stream of news relevant to their interests. The service then generates a unique URL containing continuously updated content that aligns with the specified topics.

Setting Up Your RSS

Adding a Link

Enter the URL of your RSS feed and click the “Check” button to validate its content.

Update Mode

Select which posts to process:

• Only New Posts – The system processes only entries that appear after activation.
• All Posts – The system processes all existing content in the RSS feed and continues updating with new posts.
• One-Time – The system processes only the current posts and then disables automatic updates.

Update Frequency

Set how often the system should check the RSS feed for new posts. This determines the frequency at which new blog articles are generated.
Enter the time (in minutes) for how frequently the system should scan the RSS feed for updates.

Posts Per Update Cycle

Choose how many new posts should be processed per update cycle. You can limit processing to just the latest post or include all newly found posts.

This feature is available only if the update mode includes new posts and applies exclusively to newly added content. You can specify:

• All New – Processes all newly found posts.
• All New, Up to “number” – Processes new posts but limits them to the specified number.
• Exact Number: “number” – Processes only the exact number of posts you specify (e.g., setting it to 1 means the system will process only the latest post).

Publishing Status

Choose whether to automatically publish articles or save them as drafts for review.

Available options:

• Generate Draft and Send for Approval
• Publish Without Approval

If approval is required, the administrator will receive a notification via email and the admin panel. The notification includes a link to the history section, where the admin can review, edit, publish, or delete the article.
