Add a new RSS feed for automated posting of new articles. Posts will be automatically sent to your linked social accounts: Facebook, LinkedIn, and Telegram. Also Instagram and Pinterest if a valid image can be found in the article.

<Warning>
  **X/Twitter is no longer supported for RSS feeds.** As of March 31, 2026, X requires your own API credentials for each request, which is incompatible with automated RSS posting. Use [scheduled posts](/apis/post/overview#schedule-posts) or direct API calls with your [BYO credentials](/dashboard/connect-social-accounts/x-twitter-byo-keys) instead.
</Warning>
