RSS feed publishing options

When connecting an RSS feed to OneUp, you will see these publishing options:





1






When you add an RSS feed, you have 2 options:
You can have your posts automatically publish when a new item comes into the feed, or
You can have your posts from the feed go into your Drafts folder (requires manually scheduling the posts)

Most people prefer option 1.

Why would I want to have posts go to my Drafts folder instead?

There are 3 main reasons some users choose to have posts go to the Drafts folder:

It allows you to pick and choose which posts to publish (rather than publishing everything that comes from their RSS feed)
It allows you to customize posts to your liking, such as editing the title or adding hashtags
It gives you full control on exactly when your posts get published

The next publishing option is whether you want posts from your feed to publish:

with an image and link
with just an image
with just the link preview


Why would I want to post with just an image?

The most common use case is when posting to Instagram, where links in posts are not clickable anyway, so you may prefer to have it post with only the image.


Why would I want to post with just the link preview?

When posting to Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn, posts with just a link (and no image) publish with a clickable link preview.
If you post with an "image attachment and link", the image in your post will override the link preview - which some people do not prefer.





What is the difference between an image and a link preview in a post?

This is a link preview:





This is a post with an image:

The last publishing option is whether you want posts from your feed to publish:

with just the Title from each item in your RSS feed
with just the Description from each item in your RSS feed
with both the Title and Description from each item in your RSS feed

If you open your RSS feed URL in a new tab, you can see what is showing in the Title and Description tags:



TIP: OneUp will automatically remove any HTML from the Description tag before posting, so your post will not publish with weird things like "<p><a rel="nofollow" href=..." in it 😊
