Automation & Connectors
How to auto-post from RSS feeds to X/Twitter
The RSS connector monitors any RSS or Atom feed and automatically creates tweets when new items are published. This is perfect for sharing your blog posts, podcast episodes, YouTube videos, or any content that has an RSS feed.
Setting up an RSS connector
- Go to Connectors in the sidebar and click "New Connector."
- Select "RSS" as the connector type.
- Enter the RSS feed URL (e.g.,
https://yourblog.com/feed). - OpenTweet will validate the feed and show recent items.
- Configure the posting schedule and tweet template.
- Click "Create" to activate.
Tweet templates
Customize how feed items become tweets. Use variables like {title}, {link}, and {description} in your template. Or let AI auto-generate engaging tweets from each feed item.
Supported feed formats
OpenTweet supports RSS 2.0, Atom, and JSON Feed formats. Most blogs (WordPress, Ghost, Substack, Medium) and podcast hosts provide RSS feeds.
