How to auto-generate SmartPins from your blog's RSS feed

Connect a blog or RSS feed so new posts automatically become SmartPins.

RSS SmartPin lets you connect a blog or RSS feed so that each newly published post automatically becomes a SmartPin — no need to paste each URL by hand.

How to connect a feed

  1. Go to the SmartPin Dashboard and start a New SmartPin.

  2. Switch the toggle from Single URL to RSS feed.

  3. Paste your blog or feed URL. You'll see a preview of recent posts.

  4. Set your shared defaults for the feed — design tier, keywords, frequency, and the account to publish to — then connect.

What happens after you connect

  • Going-forward only: connecting takes a snapshot of the posts already in the feed as a baseline and generates nothing from them. Only posts published after you connect will auto-create SmartPins, so there's no surprise credit usage.

  • Once a day, Tailwind checks the feed and turns each newly published post into a SmartPin and its first generation. As with manual SmartPins, your credits act as the natural throttle.

  • Pins created from a feed show an RSS origin badge so you can tell them apart.

Managing your feeds

Your connected feeds live on the feed manager page at /dashboard/v2/smart-pin/feeds, where you can see each feed's status and pause, resume, or delete it.
