Extract each new post from an RSS feed and publish it as a Reel on Instagram
Stop posting manually. Every new video from your RSS feed becomes a stunning Instagram Reel—no headaches, no routine tasks, just results.
If you’re hustling to keep your Instagram Reels fresh with content from your blog or your news site, you already know the pain: manually extracting video links from your RSS feed, prepping them, and posting reels is tedious and repetitive. Each missed entry means lost momentum with your audience and fewer chances for engagement just because you couldn’t keep up. Without automation, you waste hours every week and risk your brand’s visibility slipping while competitors stay top-of-mind.
This Botize formula puts that entire workflow on autopilot. It checks your chosen RSS feed every hour for new entries, instantly grabs the video link and caption, and publishes it directly as a Reel to your Instagram for Business account. No more copy-paste, download-then-upload, or worrying about forgetting time-sensitive content—it all happens hands-free. You can customize things like how often it checks for updates, filter which entries are posted, and fine-tune captions to fit your brand’s voice. The end result: you go from overwhelmed and inconsistent to omnipresent and engaging with your audience, all while reclaiming hours and keeping your feed buzzing.
Dive in to see just how easy it is to set up this formula with Botize—whether you’re following the step-by-step instructions or racing ahead with the ready-made template. Tweak the timing, choose your RSS source, and watch every new video update turn into a reel automatically. Let’s make your Instagram work for you instead of the other way around!
