Post new RSS items to Facebook Pages

Each new item that appears in an RSS feed you choose is posted to your Facebook Page, built from the item’s title, link and summary, so the Page shares new content without you copying links by hand.

The Post new RSS items to Facebook Pages workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across RSS Feed, Facebook Pages — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Plenty of content already has an RSS feed: your blog, a podcast, a news section or an industry source you follow. Sharing each new item on Facebook by hand is repetitive, and gaps appear when you are busy. This workflow posts new feed items to your Facebook Page as they show up.

The RSS Feed trigger checks the feed you point it at and starts a run for every item that wasn't there before. The item's details, such as its title, link and description, are passed to Facebook Pages. Its Create Page Post action publishes a new post on the Page you connect, using the text and link you build from those details.

Every new item becomes one post, so a feed that publishes often fills your Page just as often. If you share someone else's feed, make sure you have the right to repost their content.

Blog posts to a business Page

Your WordPress blog publishes a new article. Its title and link appear as a post on your company's Facebook Page, so followers see it without you logging in.

Podcast episode announcements

Your podcast host's RSS feed gets a new episode. The Page posts the episode title and link for your listeners on Facebook.

Local news or event listings

A community group's Page shares each new item from the town council's events feed, with a link back to the full listing.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Want only some items on Facebook? Add a Filter after the trigger that continues when the title or category contains a word you choose.
Add a short line of your own before the mapped title, such as "New on the blog:", so the post reads as written for your Page rather than copied from the feed.
To share the same items on X as well, add the X (Twitter) Create Tweet step after Facebook and map it from the same feed fields.

Questions about this workflow

Will old items in the RSS feed be posted to my Facebook Page?

The trigger is built to fire on new items only. Look over the first few runs in Task History after you switch it on to confirm no older entries went out.

Can I post to more than one Facebook Page from one feed?

Add another Create Page Post step and pick the second Page in it. Each new feed item then posts to both.

Does the Facebook post show an image from the feed?

Create Page Post publishes the content you map, and Facebook decides how a shared link previews. If you want a specific image, Facebook Pages also has a Create Post with Photos action you can swap in.

Which RSS feeds can I use?

Any feed the trigger can read, such as your WordPress site's own feed or a podcast feed. Test a new feed URL once after import to see its fields in FlowMattic.
