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

📋 Requirements: What you need

• Several RSS feed URLs (e.g. from various blogs, news sites or CMS systems)
• One DotSimple account with access token & workspace ID
• One Zapier account

🗂️ Step 1: Create a new zap with multiple RSS feeds

1. Trigger - RSS by Zapier:
   Event: New Items in Multiple Feeds

2. Enter feeds:
   Simply enter all the URLs you want to monitor - one per line.
   Example:

   https://blog1.at/feed
   https://blog2.at/feed
   https://newsportal.at/rss
       

3. Testing:
   Click on "Test Trigger" to ensure that an entry is recognized correctly.

🖼️ Step 2: Upload image from the RSS post

4. Action - DotSimple: Upload File
   If your DotSimple account is not yet connected:

   • Go to Settings → Access token in DotSimple
   • Create a new token (e.g. "Zapier Multi RSS")
   • Select "never expires"
   • Copy the Workspace ID from the URL (e.g. dotsimple.io/app/abc123)

   → Select a suitable image URL from the RSS feed (e.g. media:content or enclosure)

📅 Step 3: Schedule the contribution in the queue

5. Action - DotSimple: Create Post
   → Set the following fields:

   • Cue: true
   • IsOriginal: true
   • Body: z.e.g. description or excerpt from the feed
   • Media: File ID from the upload step
   • Platform: z.e.g. Instagram, LinkedIn page or Facebook

   ❌ Note: Leave Schedule and Schedule Now empty - through Queue = true DotSimple automatically takes over the next free slot in the specified release rhythm.

✅ Result: All feeds automatically run into your DotSimple queue

Every new post - regardless of the feed - is imported directly into DotSimple and automatically scheduled in the queue. The publication then takes place exactly according to your schedule (e.g. Tuesday 10 am, Thursday 3 pm, etc.).

💡 Bonus tips

• Use Zapier filters to only accept certain sources or categories
• Automatically add the title + link to the original source in the text field
• Add emojis or hashtags automatically if required
