An automated workflow using ifttt
Connects RSS + Buffer
RSS to Buffer URL Only
About this workflow template
This automation scenario allows you to connect RSS and Buffer
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated scripts using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.
RSS and Buffer can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
