Schedule RSS Posts with Flow – Step‑by‑Step Guide
Learn how to set up Flow’s RSS auto‑posting to publish content automatically to Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn Profile.
Flow lets you automatically publish RSS‑feed content to supported social channels, turning new blog posts or news updates into scheduled posts on Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn Profile without any manual copying, formatting, or additional tweaks by your team.
How does RSS auto‑posting work in Flow?
When you add an RSS URL, Flow checks the feed at regular intervals (default every 30 minutes). Each new item is parsed for title, description, link, and media. Flow then creates a post draft that matches the rules you set for each platform, applying any AI‑generated captions or images you request.
- Feed polling frequency can be adjusted in the Settings.
- Only items that haven’t been posted before are queued.
- Platform‑specific constraints (e.g., Instagram JPEG only) are enforced automatically.
What steps are needed to connect an RSS feed to each platform?
Follow these three steps for a smooth setup:
- Link your social accounts. Connect Facebook Page, Instagram (via a linked Facebook Page), X, and LinkedIn Profile in the account settings. Instagram requires a connected Facebook Page and JPEG images.
- Add the RSS URL. In the “Content Calendar” tab, click “Add RSS Feed,” paste the URL, and choose the target platforms.
- Configure posting rules. Set caption length, image generation credits, and schedule preferences (immediate, specific time slot, or queue order).
Once saved, Flow will start pulling items and queuing them according to your preferences.
Can I use AI tools while scheduling RSS posts?
Yes. Flow provides two AI services that can enhance RSS‑driven content:
- AI caption generation (1 credit per post). Ask Flow to rewrite the article title or description into a social‑ready caption.
- AI image generation (3 credits per post). If the RSS item lacks a suitable image, Flow can create a custom JPEG that meets Instagram’s format.
Credits are deducted only when you trigger the feature, so you stay in control of costs.
What pricing options cover RSS auto‑posting?
RSS auto‑posting is included in all paid plans. The Free plan supports only manual Facebook and Instagram publishing, so you’ll need at least the Starter tier to unlock RSS.
- Starter – $19/mo. All four platforms, RSS auto‑posting, 5 AI caption credits, 10 AI image credits.
- Growth – $49/mo. Higher AI credit limits, bulk posting, team seats (up to 5).
- Agency – $99/mo. Unlimited AI credits, unlimited team seats, priority support.
All plans can be billed monthly, yearly (with a discount), or lifetime via Razorpay, and every purchase includes a 7‑day money‑back guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate Instagram account for RSS posting?
Instagram posts require a connected Facebook Page and JPEG images; Flow handles the connection automatically.
Can I schedule RSS posts to X?
Yes, but X accepts text only, so any media from the feed is ignored.
Is there a limit on how many RSS items I can queue?
The queue size depends on your plan’s bulk‑posting limits; the Starter plan allows up to 100 queued items.
What happens if my RSS feed is down?
Flow will retry on the next polling cycle and will not create duplicate posts.
