RSS to Instagram
Turn any RSS feed into automated Instagram posts. Set it up once, never copy-paste again.
Image required on every post — that's Instagram's API rule, not Feedloop's
Paste your RSS feed URL into Feedloop, pick your Instagram account, and we'll poll the feed continuously. Every new item becomes a Instagram post — formatted via a per-platform template you control.
- Native Instagram publishing via the official API
- Per-platform message templates with {{title}}, {{link}}, {{description}}
- Deduplication built in — no double posts on feed refresh
Auto-publish Instagram feed posts, carousels, and Reels. Instagram requires an image or video on every post — that's Meta's API rule, not ours — so your source needs to carry media: a feed with image enclosures, an upload via the in-dashboard composer, or an AI assistant via MCP. Optionally auto-dump your hashtags into the first comment so the caption stays clean. Works with Business and Creator accounts only — Meta's policy.
Frequently asked questions
- How does RSS to Instagram work?
- Paste your RSS feed URL into Feedloop, pick your Instagram account, and we poll the feed continuously. Instagram requires every post to have an image — that's Instagram's API rule. RSS-to-Instagram works when your feed entries include an image (most modern blog feeds do, via <media:content> or featured images in the enclosure tag). If a feed item has no image, Feedloop skips it and surfaces the reason in the queue so you can fix the feed or post manually. The per-output template editor controls formatting, and the live preview shows exactly how the post will look on Instagram before anything ships.
- Can I customize the Instagram post template?
- Yes. Each output gets its own template with variable chips for {{title}}, {{description}}, and {{link}} — click to insert at the cursor instead of typing. You can write a different template for Instagram than for, say, LinkedIn (same RSS source, different messaging per platform), and the preview re-renders as you type.
- Can I track clicks on the links Feedloop posts to Instagram?
- Yes — the built-in link shortener wraps any outbound URL into a feedloophq.com/l/xxxxx redirect with UTM parameters tagged per platform. Click counts roll up per-link, so you can see exactly which Instagram post drove which clicks without setting up Google Analytics.
- What happens if my RSS feed is slow or down?
- The poller retries with exponential backoff and never duplicates a post — we store the last item ID so even if the feed re-publishes, you won't see double posts on Instagram.
