What’s up HighLevelers! In today’s blog, we’re diving into the powerful integration of RSS feeds with HighLevel’s Social Planner. This feature is a game-changer for automating your social media posts and saving you tons of time. Let’s jump in and explore how you can harness this tool to enhance your content marketing strategy.

Understanding RSS Feeds

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds work like webhooks or website URLs that provide you with a constant stream of the latest content from a specific site. For instance, if you publish blog posts on HighLevel or WordPress, the RSS feed collects these posts and makes them available for automated distribution. This means that each time you publish a new blog post, it can automatically generate and publish a corresponding social media post without any additional effort from you. Sounds amazing, right?

Setting Up RSS Feeds in HighLevel

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of setting this up in HighLevel.

Step 1: Enable RSS Feed in HighLevel

1. Go to Sites:
   • Navigate to the “Sites” section on your HighLevel dashboard.
2. Access Blogs:
   • Under the “Blogs” section, click on the gear icon to access settings.
3. Find Your RSS URL:
   • You will see an RSS URL for your website that publishes blog posts on HighLevel. Copy this URL as you will need it in the next steps.

Step 2: Setting Up RSS Feed for WordPress

If you publish your blog posts on WordPress, the process is slightly different:

1. Generate RSS Feed URL:
   • Go to your WordPress website’s URL and add /feed at the end (e.g., https://yourwebsite.com/feed).
2. Verify the Feed:
   • Enter this URL in your browser to ensure it is working correctly. You should see an XML file indicating that the RSS feed is active.

Step 3: Configure RSS Feed in HighLevel’s Social Planner

Now that you have your RSS feed URL, let’s set it up in HighLevel’s Social Planner.

1. Go to Marketing:
   • Head over to the “Marketing” section in HighLevel.

5. Choose Social Accounts:
   • Select the social media accounts you want to post to, such as Facebook and LinkedIn.
6. Customize Hashtags:
   • Use the “Endwith” field to add relevant hashtags like #Marketing or #DigitalMarketing.
7. Set Update Frequency:
   • Decide how often HighLevel should check for new blog posts. Options range from every 15 minutes to daily checks.
8. Max Posts Per Update:
   • Specify the maximum number of posts to fetch per update. For example, choose one if you prefer one post per update.

Step 4: Automate and Review

1. Create the Post:
   • Click “Create Post” and HighLevel will start crawling the RSS feed for new blog posts.
2. Open Planner:
   • Check the “Open Planner” to see all the scheduled posts. HighLevel will populate your calendar with posts generated from your RSS feed.
