Update Crawl Frequency to the RSS Automation Recipe
RSS is a spellbinding tool to automate your online activities. You can use RSS feeds to subscribe to your favorite news channels, blog sites, video channels, etc. By adding the RSS feeds, you won’t have to go to each individual channel and check for new content each time.
ContentStudio has introduced the RSS Pull after specific intervals. Now, you can crawl the new posts in the mentioned feed after every 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and so on…
Click on the Publish > Automation > RSS Feed to Social Media.
Select the campaign name, channel, optimized the post. While scheduling the post, you can update frequency to pull the RSS feeds of your favorite channels for new content or post each time.
Content Categories option added to the RSS Automation
RSS is a web sleuth that detects new content whenever it gets pushed onto a website. Many social media tools have embedded RSS readers that dig out the content from different sources and present them to you in a single place.
Content Categories option added to the RSS will make the job easy for you.

In step 2, you need to optimize your post by adding Feed Url for your favorite news channels, blog sites, video channels, add Hashtags or CTAs, and move forward.
In the last step before finalizing the campaign, you need to add time-frequency and select “Add to Content Category” as the option of new posts found while scheduling the post.
Time added by the Workspace timezone
The great thing about grouping accounts with common characteristics is that you can manage them very easily. One such characteristic is the time zone. Taking this parameter into account you can classify accounts falling in a particular time zone and batch them together.

Editor’s note
We have personally used these features to spice up our Social Media Campaigns and they have worked wonderfully for us. The RSS update has improved the quality of the content in our automation campaigns and given us a deeper authority over the content we publish on our channels. And, to manage it, we have made content categories for every genre of content.
