Bring items from RSS feeds into your WordPress site as posts, or send your own posts out as a custom feed. Pull in your podcast episodes, a sister site's articles or a news roundup as drafts, with the right category and image, and skip anything already published. FlowMattic runs the checks on the same site the posts land on.

1. TriggerNew Item in RSS Feed2. ActionNew PostWhen RSS Feed fires New Item in RSS Feed, FlowMattic runs New Post in WordPress with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateYour podcast host, YouTube channel or second blog all publish feeds. Each new item becomes a draft with its title, link and description, ready for you to add context and publish.

Feeds sometimes resend an item after it is edited. Search WordPress for the title first and a Filter stops the run when a post is found, so the site never shows the same story twice.

Many feeds include an image URL with each item. The workflow adds it to the media library and sets it as the new post's thumbnail, so imported posts look right in your theme's lists.

When one workflow follows several feeds, a Router checks which feed the item came from and adds the matching category, so each source has its own archive page.

Partners or a newsletter tool may want only your announcements. A Filter checks the new post's category and adds matching posts to a FlowMattic feed you can hand out.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
RSS Feed and WordPress connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Episodes, videos and posts from other platforms appear on your own site as posts you can expand, link and search.
Duplicate searches, drafts and categories run first, so imported posts fit the site instead of cluttering it.
FlowMattic runs on your WordPress site with unlimited runs, so adding another source never moves you to a bigger plan.
Yes. Start a workflow with New Item in RSS Feed, paste the feed URL and add WordPress New Post. Each new item becomes a post, as a draft or published, with the fields you map.
Yes. Use New Item in Multiple RSS Feeds and list each URL. Add a Router on the feed source if items from each one need a different category or author.
Add Search WordPress with the item's title before New Post, then a Filter that stops the run when a post is found. Saving the item link in post meta with Add Post Meta gives you a second check.
Yes, set the status in New Post. For feeds you control, such as your own podcast, publishing directly is fine. For curated sources, drafts give you a chance to add your own words.
Yes. Trigger on WordPress New Post, filter on the category or tag you want and add Create New Item in RSS Feed. FlowMattic serves that feed separately from your main blog feed.
