Most blog platforms expose RSS by default at predictable URLs.
Tip
Test your feed URL by viewing source. You should see - tags with , <link>, <description>, and ideally <enclosure> for the featured image. If image URLs are missing, AI image generation can fill the gap.</p> </div> </section> <section class="guide-section" id="connect"> <h2 class="guide-section-title">Step 2: connect in Mirgent</h2> <p>30-second setup.

If neither, your platform may need an RSS plugin (Wordpress: built-in; Ghost: built-in; static generators: 1-line config). For sites you don't control, use a feed-generating service like Inoreader or RSS Bridge.</p></details> <details><summary>How do I avoid duplicate cross-syndicated content?</summary><p>Mirgent's deduplicator catches identical titles + URLs across feeds within 24 hours. If your blog auto-syndicates to Medium, both feeds will surface the same item but only one set of drafts generates.</p></details> <details><summary>Can I have one feed go to different platforms with different framing?</summary><p>Yes. Each platform target has its own AI variant settings (tone, length, hashtag style). Same RSS item generates a serious LinkedIn long-form and a casual Twitter teaser; you tune both.</p></details> <details><summary>What if a feed updates with corrections?</summary><p>Mirgent treats updates as 'no change' (same URL = same item). If a feed actually changes content under the same URL, those changes won't generate new drafts. Re-create the item or use webhook triggers for true update flows.</p></details> <details><summary>How much does RSS-to-post cost in AI?</summary><p>Per-item AI cost: $0.01-0.20 depending on model and platform count. Typical solo blog (1 post/week, 5 platforms, Claude Haiku): ~$0.05/week or $2-3/month total.</p></details> <details><summary>{guide_rss_faq6_q}</summary><p>{guide_rss_faq6_a}</p></details> </div> </section> <!-- Next/Prev nav --> <nav class="guide-nav"> <span></span> <a href="/guide/scheduling" class="guide-nav-link next"> <span class="guide-nav-label">Next</span> <span class="guide-nav-title">Scheduling Guide</span> </a> </nav></main></div></div> <!-- Main Footer --><footer id="footer-main" class="footer-main"><div class="footer-container"><div class="footer-content"><!-- Brand Column --><div class="footer-brand"><div class="brand-logo"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="28" height="28" viewBox="0 0 32 32" fill="none"> <rect width="32" height="32" rx="7" fill="#0f172a"/> <text x="16" y="23" font-family="Arial Black, Arial, sans-serif" font-size="20" font-weight="900" text-anchor="middle" fill="white">M</text> </svg> <span class="brand-name">Mirgent</span></div><p class="brand-tagline">Human-supervised social automation</p><div class="brand-contact"> <a href="mailto:dev.emirbaycan@gmail.com" class="brand-contact-link"> <svg width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2"><rect x="2" y="4" width="20" height="16" rx="2"/><path d="m22 7-8.97 5.7a1.94 1.94 0 0 1-2.06 0L2 7"/></svg> <span>dev.emirbaycan@gmail.com</span> </a></div><div class="brand-socials"> <a href="https://instagram.com/mirgent" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="brand-social-icon" aria-label="Instagram"> <svg width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor"><path d="M12 2.163c3.204 0 3.584.012 4.85.07 3.252.148 4.771 1.691 4.919 4.919.058 1.265.069 1.645.069 4.849 0 3.205-.012 3.584-.069 4.849-.149 3.225-1.664 4.771-4.919 4.919-1.266.058-1.644.07-4.85.07-3.204 0-3.584-.012-4.849-.07-3.26-.149-4.771-1.699-4.919-4.92-.058-1.265-.07-1.644-.07-4.849 0-3.204.013-3.583.07-4.849.149-3.227 1.664-4.771 4.919-4.919 1.266-.057 1.645-.069 4.849-.069zm0-2.163c-3.259 0-3.667.014-4.947.072-4.358.2-6.78 2.618-6.98 6.98-.059 1.281-.073 1.689-.073 4.948 0 3.259.014 3.668.072 4.948.2 4.358 2.618 6.78 6.98 6.98 1.281.058 1.689.072 4.948.072 3.259 0 3.668-.014 4.948-.072 4.354-.2 6.782-2.618 6.979-6.98.059-1.28.073-1.689.073-4.948 0-3.259-.014-3.667-.072-4.947-.196-4.354-2.617-6.78-6.979-6.98-1.281-.059-1.69-.073-4.949-.073zm0 5.838c-3.403 0-6.162 2.759-6.162 6.162s2.759 6.163 6.162 6.163 6.162-2.759 6.162-6.163c0-3.403-2.759-6.162-6.162-6.162zm0 10.162c-2.209 0-4-1.79-4-4 0-2.209 1.791-4 4-4s4 1.791 4 4c0 2.21-1.791 4-4 4zm6.406-11.845c-.796 0-1.441.645-1.441 1.44s.645 1.44 1.441 1.44c.795 0 1.439-.645 1.439-1.44s-.644-1.44-1.439-1.44z"/></svg> </a> <a href="https://twitter.com/mirgent" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="brand-social-icon" aria-label="X (Twitter)"> <svg width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor"><path d="M18.244 2.25h3.308l-7.227 8.26 8.502 11.24H16.17l-5.214-6.817L4.99 21.75H1.68l7.73-8.835L1.254 2.25H8.08l4.713 6.231zm-1.161 17.52h1.833L7.084 4.126H5.117z"/></svg> </a> <a href="https://facebook.com/mirgent" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="brand-social-icon" aria-label="Facebook"> <svg width="18" height="18" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor"><path d="M24 12.073c0-6.627-5.373-12-12-12s-12 5.373-12 12c0 5.99 4.388 10.954 10.125 11.854v-8.385H7.078v-3.47h3.047V9.43c0-3.007 1.792-4.669 4.533-4.669 1.312 0 2.686.235 2.686.235v2.953H15.83c-1.491 0-1.956.925-1.956 1.874v2.25h3.328l-.532 3.47h-2.796v8.385C19.612 23.027 24 18.062 24 12.073z"/></svg> </a></div></div><!-- Product Links --><div class="link-column"><h4 class="column-title">Product</h4><ul class="column-links"> <li><a href="/home">Home</a></li> <li><a href="/feature/scheduling">Scheduling</a></li> <li><a href="/feature/analytics">Analytics</a></li> <li><a href="/feature/platforms">Platforms</a></li> <li><a href="/feature/ai-agents">AI Content</a></li> <li><a href="/login">Get Started</a></li></ul></div><!-- Resources Links --><div class="link-column"><h4 class="column-title">Resources</h4><ul class="column-links"> <li><a href="/services">Services</a></li> <li><a href="/pricing">Pricing</a></li> <li><a href="/blog">Blog</a></li> <li><a href="/faq">FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="/about">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="/contact">Contact</a></li></ul></div><!-- Legal Links --><div class="link-column"><h4 class="column-title">Legal</h4><ul class="column-links"> <li><a href="/policies">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="/policies">Terms of Service</a></li> <li><a href="/policies">Cookie Policy</a></li> <li><a href="/policies">GDPR</a></li></ul></div></div><!-- Footer Bottom Bar --><div class="footer-bottom-bar"><p class="footer-copyright">2024 Mirgent.
