RSS Feed to Social Media
Fedica's RSS Feed to Social Media automatically posts new articles, videos, or podcast episodes from any RSS feed straight to your social media accounts. Built for social media managers, agencies, and creators, it runs on a schedule you set once, with no manual posting required.
Benefits
Why Post From an RSS Feed?
Posting from an RSS feed removes the manual work of sharing new content, post by post.
- Save time: stop pasting links into every platform by hand each time you publish something new.
- Run on autopilot: configure a Pipeline once, and let it keep working in the background from then on.
- Focus elsewhere: put your time into replies and community conversations instead of routine sharing.
- Stay active: keep a steady stream of fresh content on your profiles every day.
- Never miss a post: every new article or episode goes out the moment it's published.
- Grow traffic: send a steady, automated stream of links that bring visitors back to your site.
Key Capabilities
What Fedica Does With Your RSS Feed
Fedica turns every new item in your RSS feed into a fully formatted social media post automatically.
- Pipeline-based scheduling: connect a feed to a Pipeline, with its own schedule, time zones, and platforms.
- Multiple feeds at once: stream several RSS feeds to your social media, one feed per Pipeline.
- Automatic thread-splitting: content too long for one post is automatically split into a thread, or truncated to the platform's max length if threads aren't supported.
- Suffix and links placed automatically: pipeline suffix (e.g. hashtags) and a link to the original post are added to the end of the post, or the last post of the thread if it's split.
- Automatic image attachment: up to 4 images from your feed's <enclosure> elements are attached, or the first <img> tag found in your content if there are no enclosures.
- Word-exclusion filtering: exclude posts by keyword, searched across the <title>, <description>, <category>, and <content> fields.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Fedica's RSS feed poster do?
- Fedica's RSS feed poster automatically shares new content from any RSS feed to your social media accounts, using a Pipeline to control the schedule, platforms, and formatting for each feed.
What RSS fields does Fedica require?
- Fedica requires a <link>, a <Guid> or <id>, a <title> or <description>, and a <pubDate> or <published> field. Most WordPress and podcast feeds already include all of these and work without any extra setup.
What happens if my RSS content is too long for one post?
- Fedica automatically splits content that's too long for one post into a thread. If the platform doesn't support threads, the content is truncated to that platform's maximum post length instead.
How often does Fedica check my RSS feed?
- Fedica checks your feed multiple times per hour, on average every 5 minutes, and never more than once every 5 minutes unless you've configured multiple pipelines for the same feed.
Does Fedica attach images from my RSS feed automatically?
- Yes. Fedica downloads and attaches up to 4 images from your feed's <enclosure> elements, or, if there are none, the first image it finds in an <img> tag inside your <content> or <description> fields.
Will my WordPress or podcast feed just work?
- For most WordPress and podcast feeds, yes — simply connect the feed and it should work without any special configuration, since these feeds already include the fields Fedica requires.
What if my site blocks bot traffic?
- If your firewall blocks bot traffic, you'll need to whitelist Fedica's bot so it can read your feed — contact Fedica's support team and they'll help you get it set up.
