Automate Your RSS to Mastodon Feed
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly share your latest RSS feed updates to your Mastodon instance. This workflow ensures your followers are always in the loop with new content, automatically posted at your desired intervals.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow revolutionizes content distribution by automatically publishing new articles from your RSS feed directly to your Mastodon social media account. It leverages a cron trigger to periodically check your RSS feed for new entries. A custom function node intelligently identifies and processes only the most recent, unposted items, preventing duplicate content. An IF node then conditionally sends these new entries as Mastodon toots, complete with the article's title and link. This automation saves valuable time and significantly expands your content's reach across decentralized social networks, ensuring consistent engagement with your audience.
Key Features
- Automated RSS Monitoring: Schedule regular checks of your RSS feed to detect new content.
- Smart Content Filtering: Intelligently identifies and posts only new, unpublished items.
- Mastodon Integration: Seamlessly post updates to your Mastodon instance.
- Customizable Posting Schedule: Set the frequency of your automated posts (e.g., every 10 minutes).
- Configurable Message Content: Dynamically create Mastodon posts using article titles and links.
How To Use

triggerTimesto define how often you want the workflow to check your RSS feed (e.g.,everyXminutes with avalueof 10). - Set up the RSS Feed Read Node: In the
urlparameter, replace{HERE YOUR TINY TINY RSS PUBLIC FEED}with the actual public URL of your RSS feed. - Configure the HTTP Request Node: Replace
{HERE YOUR MASTONDON INSTANCE URL}and{HERE YOUR MASTODON ACCESS TOKEN}with your Mastodon instance URL and a valid access token. Thestatusquery parameter is pre-configured to use the title and link from the RSS feed. - Review the Function Node: The
functionCodeis designed to manage the posting of unique RSS items. It uses workflow static data to remember the last posted item's ID. - Ensure the IF Node is Correctly Configured: The condition ensures that a post is only made to Mastodon if a new, unprocessed RSS item is found.
