How to set it up

  1. 1

    Connect X (Twitter)

    Connect your X account in ShortSync with X's own sign-in.

  2. 2

    Paste the feed

    On ShortSync's Upload page, open Repurpose and create a workflow. Under Post from, pick YouTube or podcast and paste the RSS or Atom feed URL, or a podcast's Apple Podcasts link. ShortSync shows the latest items so you can check it's the right feed.

  3. 3

    Pick X (Twitter) and how to post

    Under Post to, select your X (Twitter) account (and any others you want). Choose Publish right away, or Save drafts to check each post first.

  4. 4

    Let it run

    About 15 minutes after a new item appears in the feed, ShortSync posts it to X (Twitter). Items from before you created the workflow aren't posted as new.

What the post looks like on X (Twitter)

  • A post with the image attached and the title and link as its text.
  • The link is clickable and counts as 23 characters on X however long it is.

Other ways to do it

All of these work. ShortSync suits you if you'd rather not build or host anything, or want the same post on several platforms.

Zapier, Make, Pabbly or IFTTT

Each has a template that watches a feed and posts to the platform. Flexible if you already pay for one, but you build and maintain the workflow and its message yourself, and each extra platform is another step.

Good to know

  • Items need an image or a video to be posted; items with neither are skipped.
  • For podcasts, each episode uses its own artwork, or the show's cover when it has none. Video podcasts post the video.
  • An old posts workflow can work through the items already in the feed, a few a day in the time slots you pick.
  • X allows 280 characters; a very long title is shortened to fit.

Frequently asked questions

X allows 280 characters and counts the link as 23. Titles rarely come close; if one does, it's shortened to fit.
Any RSS or Atom feed whose items have an image or a video: podcasts (paste the Apple Podcasts link or your host's RSS feed), YouTube channels, news sites and blogs that include images. Spotify listening links don't work, since Spotify doesn't expose a feed; use the RSS feed from your podcast host.
About every 15 minutes. A new item is posted on the next check after it appears in the feed.
Repurposing workflows are on every ShortSync plan, Free included. Each published post counts as one upload on your plan, like posting it yourself; drafts don't count. If you run out of uploads, new posts wait as drafts instead.
