Connect RSS with DotSimple - Queue (via Make.com)

Would you like to have new content from an RSS feed automatically added to DotSimple - but not published immediately? With the Queue function from DotSimple and Make.com it's very simple. You set the rhythm once (e.g. Tuesday 10 a.m.) and all new posts automatically end up in your queue. In this article, we'll show you how to implement this in Make.com.

Would you prefer to see the process in action? No problem! In this video, we show you step by step how to automatically connect DotSimple to RSS - whether with Zapier or Make.com.

▶️ Tip: The video visually guides you through both variants - including setup, image upload and planned publication.

📋 Requirements: What you need

• A valid RSS feed URL
• One DotSimple Account with access token & workspace ID
• One Make.com account

🗂️ Step 1: Create scenario in Make.com

1. Start scenario:
   Log in to make.com and click on "Create a new Scenario".

2. Module 1 - RSS: Watch RSS Feed Items
   → Enter your feed URL (e.g. https://deinblog.at/feed)
   → Select "From now on" or test with a previous post

🖼️ Step 2: Load image from RSS

3. Module 2 - HTTP: Get a file
   → Select the image URL from the RSS feed (e.g. media:content or rawContentUrl)
   → This module loads the image so that it can be uploaded to DotSimple

⬆️ Step 3: Upload image to DotSimple

4. Module 3 - DotSimple: Upload File
   If you have not yet connected your DotSimple account:

   • Go to Settings → Access token in DotSimple
   • Create a new token (e.g. "Make RSS Queue"), select "never expires"
   • Copy the token and the Workspace ID (stands after /app/ in the URL, e.g. dotsimple.io/app/abc123)

   → Use the file from the HTTP step in the module

📅 Step 4: Schedule the contribution in the DotSimple queue

5. Module 4 - DotSimple: Create Post
   → Fill in the fields as follows:

   • Cue: Yes
   • IsOriginal: Yes
   • Body: z.B. Description from the RSS feed
   • Media: File ID from the upload module
   • Platform: z.e.g. LinkedIn page, Instagram, Facebook

   ❌ Important: Leave the fields Schedule and Schedule Now empty - with "Queue = Yes", the contribution is automatically scheduled in the defined order.

✅ Result: Post is saved in the queue

New content from your RSS feed is automatically created as posts in DotSimple and inserted into the posting queue you have defined. This means they are published reliably and at the desired frequency - without any manual effort.

💡 Additional tips

• In DotSimple under Settings → Queue times you can specify when posts from the queue are posted (e.g. every Tuesday, 10 a.m.)
• You can add filters in Make to post only certain categories or titles, for example
• Automatically add the link to the original article in the post text
