Latenode

Automatically schedule RSS feed posts to your social media

This automation allows users to monitor an RSS feed for new items, automatically add those items to a Buffer queue, and schedule them for posting on social media accounts. It provides a convenient way to curate and share content from an RSS source, leveraging the scheduling and publishing capabilities of the Buffer platform.

The automation is triggered by the publication of a new item in the RSS feed, and the key steps involve adding the new content to the appropriate Buffer channel's queue. This solution can benefit individuals or teams who regularly publish or share content from RSS sources and want to streamline the process of scheduling posts on various social media platforms.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
