1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for RSS Feed Automation

To send your favorite RSS feed items to Telegram, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This automation platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website to create your free account, which offers automation tasks each month for testing.

Once you have your account, sign in to reach the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate your RSS to Telegram integration. You can name your workflow, for example, ‘RSS Feeds on Telegram,’ and then click the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger in Pabbly Connect to capture new items from your selected RSS feed. Select the RSS application from the trigger options and choose the event ‘New Item in Feed.’ Click on ‘Connect’ to proceed.

• Paste the URL of the RSS feed in the provided field.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the latest feed item.
• Ensure the most recent item is displayed in the response section.

After successfully capturing the feed, the title and link of the most recent item will be displayed. This information will be used in the next steps to send messages to your Telegram group.

3. Configuring the Action to Send Messages to Telegram

Next, you will set up the action step in Pabbly Connect to send the captured feed item to your Telegram chat. Search for the Telegram application and select the action event ‘Send a Text Message or Reply.’ Click on ‘Connect’ to proceed with the setup.

In the connection setup, you will need to create a Telegram bot to generate a token. Follow these steps:

• Search for ‘BotFather’ in Telegram and send the command ‘/newbot’ to create a new bot.
• Provide a name and a unique username for your bot ending with ‘bot’.
• Copy the API token provided by BotFather and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, you will also need to specify the chat ID of the Telegram group where you want to send the messages. This ID can be found in the group settings or by checking the URL when you open the group in Telegram.

4. Customizing the Message to Send to Telegram

In this section, you will customize the message that will be sent to your Telegram group using Pabbly Connect. You can create a message template that includes the title and link of the RSS feed item. Type a message like ‘Hello all, there is a new RSS feed for technology: [Title] [Link].’

To ensure that the title and link are dynamically updated with each new feed item, you will map these fields from the previous trigger step. Click on the fields to select the corresponding data from the trigger response, ensuring that the message remains relevant with each new item.

After setting up the message, you can test the connection by clicking on ‘Save and Send Test Request.’ This will send the message to your Telegram group for verification. Check your group to confirm that the message appears as expected.

5. Finalizing Your RSS to Telegram Automation

Now that your RSS feed is set up to send messages to Telegram via Pabbly Connect, you need to finalize and activate your workflow. Once activated, this automation will run every 20 minutes to check for new feed items.

After setting everything up, you can disable or enable notifications for the messages and adjust link previews as desired. This ensures that your Telegram group receives timely updates from your favorite RSS feeds without any manual effort.

Finally, remember that you only need to set up this automation once. From now on, every time a new item is added to the RSS feed, it will automatically be sent to your Telegram group, keeping everyone informed effortlessly.
