How to Auto-Generate Articles using RSS Feeds and Share on Medium

In this section, we will look at how you can integrate RSS with OpenAI and Medium – following this integration, each time a new feed is captured from your website, a new article will automatically be generated and shared on Medium.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link the RSS with Pabbly Connect to capture the feeds, then link Pabbly Connect with OpenAI to generate articles, then link Pabbly Connect with Medium and share the articles generated on Medium.

Compose a Prompt by mapping the details from the step above.

Similarly, select/enter other fields, leaving the unnecessary ones empty, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

Map the Post Title and Post Content from the step above, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, your article will automatically be posted to your Medium account.
