HighLevel Adds Automated Blog Posting to Social Media via RSS

TL;DR

HighLevel can now automatically post your blog content to social media accounts using RSS feeds. This is a standard new feature.

Who this affects

HighLevel has not confirmed who this affects. Users who regularly publish blog content and manage social media for clients may find this useful. Those not posting blogs or managing social media can safely ignore it.

What changed

HighLevel can now automatically post new blog articles to connected social media channels using RSS feeds. The process requires locating a blog's RSS feed URL. The configuration is done using the RSS Post tool within the Social Planner. Users can select specific social accounts where posts will be automatically published. It is possible to set the frequency at which the system checks the RSS feed for new content. Once configured, post publishing automates whenever a new blog article is uploaded to the blog. HighLevel has not confirmed any limits or plan gating for this feature. HighLevel has not confirmed its rollout status.

Where to find it

The feature is located within the Social Planner, specifically under the RSS Post tool. The exact navigation path is Social Planner > RSS Post tool.

How agencies will use this

An agency managing content marketing for a client with an active blog can leverage this. First, they would obtain the client's blog RSS feed URL. Within the agency's HighLevel sub-account for that client, they navigate to the Social Planner and select the RSS Post tool. They would then input the RSS feed URL. Next, they would select the client's connected Facebook Page, Instagram account, and LinkedIn Company Page as target social accounts. They would set the feed check frequency to daily. Now, whenever the client publishes a new blog post, HighLevel automatically drafts and publishes a social media post to these channels, promoting the new article without manual intervention, saving the agency time and ensuring consistent promotion.

Our take

This is a standard feature addition. It's a convenience, not a fundamental shift. Agencies focused on content promotion for clients will appreciate the automation, but it doesn't represent a critical update for all users. It's worth a quick setup if you're already managing client blogs and social media within HighLevel.
