In today's digital marketing landscape, sharing content efficiently across platforms is essential. One effective way to do this is by syncing RSS feeds with LinkedIn. This guide provides a practical, step-by-step setup using Make (formerly Integromat) to automate the process seamlessly.

Understanding the Basics

RSS feeds are XML files that contain updates from your website or blog. LinkedIn, as a professional networking platform, allows users to share content manually or through automation. Using Make, you can connect your RSS feed directly to LinkedIn, ensuring your latest content reaches your network instantly.

Prerequisites

  • An active Make account
  • Your website's RSS feed URL
  • A LinkedIn account with a LinkedIn Page or Profile to post on
  • Permissions to connect LinkedIn with Make

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Create a New Scenario in Make

Log in to your Make account. Click on "Create a new scenario" to start setting up the automation.

2. Add RSS Feed Module

Search for the "RSS" module in Make's app directory. Select "Watch RSS feeds" to monitor your chosen feed URL. Enter your RSS feed URL and configure the polling interval.

3. Add LinkedIn Module

Next, add the "LinkedIn" module. Choose "Create a post" action. Connect your LinkedIn account and authorize Make to post on your behalf.

4. Map RSS Content to LinkedIn Post

Configure the LinkedIn module to use data from the RSS feed. Map the title, link, and description from your RSS item to the post content. You can customize the message to include hashtags or other branding elements.

5. Set Up Filters and Conditions

To avoid duplicate posts or unwanted content, add filters. For example, only post if the item is new or contains specific keywords.

6. Test Your Scenario

Run the scenario manually to ensure everything works correctly. Check your LinkedIn feed to verify the post appears as expected.

Final Tips for Success

  • Regularly update your RSS feed to keep content fresh.
  • Adjust polling intervals to balance between immediacy and API limits.
  • Use descriptive and engaging post messages.
  • Monitor your Make scenario for errors and performance issues.

By automating RSS feed sharing on LinkedIn with Make, you save time and ensure your audience stays informed. This setup is scalable and adaptable to various content sources, making it a valuable tool for content marketers and social media managers.
