Watch our step by step video on how to set up an AutoBlog campaign with an RSS Feed:

Overview

The RSS Feed automatically pulls content from any RSS feed you choose and uses it to generate blog articles for your AutoBlog — no manual input needed.

📘 An RSS feed is a special link that lists a website's latest posts. Most blogs and news sites have one — it usually ends in something like /feed or /rss.

Setting Up the Campaign

  1. Click New Campaign.

  2. Enter a name for your campaign.

  3. Choose Full AutoBlog or AutoBlog with Review mode.

⚠️ These are the only two modes that work with Feeds.

  1. Click Continue.

  2. Click Configure Feed.

  3. Select the RSS Feed.

Configuring the RSS Feed

  1. Paste your RSS feed URL (e.g., https://example.com/feed).

  2. Click Apply Feed.

  3. Map the fields so Arvow knows which parts of the feed to use:

    • Title field — select the feed's title.

    • URL field — select the feed's link.

    • Thumbnail (optional) — select the feed's thumbnail if available.

  4. Click Apply Feed to confirm.

Completing the Setup

  1. Select the Integration — the website where your articles will be published.

  2. Set the Interval — how often articles should be published.

  3. Choose the amount of articles per batch — how many articles should be generated every interval.

  4. Click Create.

👍 Your campaign is now ready — the RSS Feed will gather content automatically and turn it into blog articles.

Editing Your RSS Feed

You can switch to a different RSS feed at any time:

  1. Go to the AutoBlog tab.

  2. Click Configure AutoBlog.

  3. Click Continue.

  4. In the Feed settings, replace the RSS feed URL and map the fields again.

FAQs

Q: Where do I find a website's RSS feed URL?
Most sites have one at yoursite.com/feed or yoursite.com/rss. You can also look for the RSS icon on the site, or check the site's footer.

Q: What does "mapping the fields" mean?
Every RSS feed organizes its content slightly differently. Mapping simply tells Arvow which part of the feed contains the article title, the link, and the thumbnail — so it pulls the right information.

Q: Can I change my RSS feed later?
Yes. Go to the AutoBlog tab, click Configure AutoBlog, click Continue, and update the URL in the Feed settings. Remember to map the fields again after switching.

Q: Can I use any RSS feed?
You can paste any public RSS feed URL. Just make sure you have the rights to repurpose the content if it's not from your own site.
