Advanced hashtags
A lot of you, our users, have voted in our survey for advanced hashtags feature in RSS Ground automated posters. And we have finally implemented it. So, right now instead of using same hashtags over and over again in each post you can specify a pool of hashtags, and random hashtags from your pool will be added with each post. Read more
Here is what's planned for the near future
Post recycle
In RSS Ground automated posters we use an advanced system which avoids posting duplicate content. Your posting campaign by default will not post the same content over again. With “Post recycle” option you will be able to re-post same content multiple times. This option is especially useful for affiliate marketing and products feeds posting.
Feeds preview
We have already implemented feeds editing feature. But now we plan to go even further, and add an option to allow you to preview feed’s content before you generate it. This will make the process of feeds generation much more efficient.
Shopify Poster
Many of you voted for Shopify feeds generator that was already added to our arsenal of content sources. And now we about to develop a brand new Shopify poster. Shopify poster will make automated posts to Shopify blogs and add products from affiliate feeds to your Shopify stores.
However we need your opinion on this tool, and invite you to take part in our NEW SURVEY.
Our major plans for the next season
Personal feeds
Personal feeds is a completely new approach in feeds generation. This new functionality will allow you to compose content feeds by yourself. You will be able to add items from any other feeds in your Feeds Box or Feeds Reader to your personal feeds as well as create your own items with unique title, body and media. Personal feeds will have their own web layout which will make it possible to preview them in any browser. Actually, personal feed will look like a regular webpage which can be easily indexed by search engines. So it will like having your own blogging platform withing RSS Ground. Exciting isn’t it?
Estimated release dates: March-April 2020
IFTTT integration
IFTTT is a well-know platform which provides numerous automation solutions. This also includes automation with a help of RSS feeds. We plan to develop a special IFTTT module which will be connected to your IFTTT account and trigger your applets according to your campaign settings. IFTTT will help you automate posting to a wider range of posting destinations as well as well as set up any other events and triggers.
Estimated release dates: May-June 2020

Am looking forward to the IFTTT integration.
Which platforms do you plan on enabling?
Clifford, we are still at the stage of conceptualization and planning. We see this tool as a regular posting campaign, where you specify your set of content feeds and other settings and filters. Then you create an applet in IFTTT and connect your campaign there. Actually you will be able to do whatever IFTTT allows doing with RSS feeds. You can contact our support to describe what functionality would you like to have. This will help us to better plan this new tool.
