RSS Feeds

Add RSS feed sources to automatically generate content from external articles. RSS sources power the RSS-based automation types.

Adding an RSS Source

1. Go to Sources in the sidebar
2. Click Add Source
3. Enter the RSS feed URL (e.g., https://blog.example.com/feed.xml)
4. Save the source

QiQ Social immediately fetches the feed and imports available items as updates.

How RSS Sources Work

RSS sources are checked periodically by the processing queue:

1. Fetch — QiQ Social polls each RSS source for new items
2. Parse — New items are parsed and stored as updates with title, text, link, and media
3. Create entries — For each automation linked to the source, an entry is created connecting the update to the automation
4. Process — Entries are processed according to the automation’s settings (auto-approve or manual review)

Source Properties

Each RSS source has:

Linking Sources to Automations

RSS sources are connected to RSS-type automations:

• Social Post from RSS — Each new item becomes a social post
• Blog Post from RSS — Each new item becomes a blog article
• Blog Digest from RSS — Multiple items are combined into a digest post

When creating an RSS automation, select which RSS sources should feed into it.

Updates

Each parsed RSS item is stored as an update with:

Managing Sources

From the Sources page you can:

• View — See all configured RSS sources
• Edit — Update the feed URL or configuration
• Delete — Remove a source and stop fetching its items
• Refresh — Manually trigger a fetch for new items
