What are Auto-Publishers?

An Auto-Publisher takes posts from your content feeds and publishes them to one of your channels on a schedule. Set it up once, and it keeps the channel busy: it picks the next post, formats it for the channel, and publishes it at the times you chose.

Each Auto-Publisher has:

  • Content: up to 10 content feeds of any type: original, imported, smart or discovered.
  • A channel: one destination, such as a Facebook page or a Telegram channel.
  • A schedule: how often and when to publish.

Feedigy gives the new Auto-Publisher a name. Select the name at the top to change it.

Most channels have these options:

  • Posting order: which post goes next.
    • Newest first: the newest post that has not been published yet.
    • Oldest first: works through the feed from the oldest post, for example to publish a book chapter by chapter.
    • Random: a random post that has not been published yet.
    • Only new items: only posts that appeared after the previous run.
  • Post template elements (draggable): the parts of the post, such as Title, Body, Link, Tags and Images. Turn each one on or off, and drag them to change the order.
  • Signature / Custom text: your own text in every post, or an AI prompt that writes it for each post. Each AI processing costs 1 AI credit.
  • Tags: hashtags from the post’s own tags, or your own list. Rotate tags per post picks a different set each time.
  • Append to post links: parameters added to every link, such as UTM tags, for example utm_source=feedigy&utm_medium=social.

Choose the Schedule type:

  • Interval: publish one post every few minutes, hours, days or weeks, for example every day. Next run shows when the first post goes out.
  • Custom: pick days and times, for example Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 09:00 and 17:00. Select Add schedule to add more, up to 7.
Step 3, Automate posting: Interval selected, Publish every Day, a note that the plan requires at least 12 hours between posts, the next run time, and Advanced mode open with the Posting-time spread slider.

Your plan sets the shortest time between posts. To post more often, upgrade or buy a posting-frequency add-on. See Add-ons and top-offs.

In Advanced mode:

  • Posting-time spread: moves each post a little before or after its time slot, so the times look natural. 0% posts at the exact time.
  • Change auto-publisher timezone: the timezone for the schedule.
  • Schedule auto-publisher start and Schedule auto-publisher stop: start later, or stop on a date.

Then open the Finish menu:

  • Save & Run: save and start publishing on schedule.
  • Save & Pause: save without publishing. Start it later from the list.

Until you finish, the Auto-Publisher is a Draft. Feedigy saves your changes as you go, so you can come back to it.

Select Test Post at any step to publish one post now with the current settings. It is a real post: Feedigy picks a post from your feeds, publishes it to the channel and marks it as published.

The Auto-Publishers page lists each one with its Status, number of Posts, Next run and creation date.

  • Select the status to start or pause an Auto-Publisher: Running, Paused or Draft.
  • Open the ⋮ menu to Edit, Duplicate, View Log or Delete.
  • Tick several to Start, Pause, Duplicate or Delete them together.
  • Select Log to see the Activity Log of every run for all Auto-Publishers: what was posted, and any errors.

Scheduled and published posts also appear in the Calendar.
