An RSS to Discord automation watches the feeds you pick and posts each new article to a Discord channel. This Taskade flow adds one step that most feed bots skip: Taskade AI writes a two-line summary of each item, so members see the point, the source, and the link in one message.
What does the RSS to Discord automation do?
The RSS to Discord automation posts each new article from the feeds you pick to a Discord channel, with a two-line summary written by Taskade AI. Members read the point first and click only the links worth their time.
It runs on its own once you turn it on, and every run shows in the automation history, so you can see what was posted and when.
How does the flow work?
- Trigger: RSS, New Item In RSS Feeds. You paste one or more feed URLs. The trigger checks the feeds on a schedule and starts a run for each new item.
- Step: Taskade AI, Summarize with AI. The AI reads the item title and text and writes a short summary in plain words.
- Step: Discord, Send Message. The bot posts the summary, the source, and the link in the channel you choose.
What lands in Discord?
| Field | Where it comes from | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Message | Taskade AI summary of the item | "A new release adds offline mode. Setup takes two steps." |
| Link | The item URL from the feed | https://example.com/post |
| Source | The feed title | "Product blog" |
How do you post only the items that matter?
A busy feed can flood a channel, so most RSS to Discord guides add a filter. Add a Filter Data step after the trigger and keep only the items whose title or text holds your keywords. To send different topics to different channels, add a Branch step with one Discord step on each path.
Which plan do you need?
The Discord step needs a paid Taskade plan. Pro is $10/mo billed annually. Free covers RSS, schedule and Taskade-only automations within its monthly run limit. The AI summary step uses AI credits. Free starts with no AI credits, so earn them with referrals and invites or buy a credit pack.
When is another tool the better fit?
RSS to Discord guides offer three kinds of tool: a feed bot, a general automation platform, and an AI flow. Pick by what each post must say.
| Option | Best for | What a post holds |
|---|---|---|
| Feed bot, for example rss.app or Readybot | A raw stream of new links | Title and link |
| General automation platform | Routing one feed to many apps | The fields you map |
| This Taskade flow | Members who want the point first | AI summary, source, and link |
If you want a raw stream of links with no summary, a feed bot posts them directly. Use this flow when you want each post to say what the article is about.
How do you set it up?
Step 1: Connect your feeds
Click Build Workflow on this page and paste the RSS feed URLs you want to watch.
Step 2: Connect Discord
Add the Taskade bot to your server and pick the channel for the posts.
Step 3: Shape the summary
Tell the AI step how long the summary is and what to keep, for example "two lines, name the product and the change."
Step 4: Test and turn it on
Run one test with a recent item, read the post in Discord, then turn the automation on.
Frequently asked questions
Can I watch more than one feed?
Yes. The trigger takes a list of feed URLs, so one automation can cover a blog, a changelog, and a news site.
Can I post only items that match a keyword?
Yes. Add a filter step after the trigger so only items with your keywords reach the summary and the post.
How fast does a new item post?
The trigger checks your feeds on a schedule, so a new item posts after the next check, not the second it is published.
Do I need a Discord webhook?
No. This flow posts through the Discord connection that you add to your server in Step 2. The Discord connector also has a Send Message Webhook action if your server already uses channel webhooks.
Can I post one feed to more than one server?
Yes. Add a second Discord step with the channel in the other server, or copy the automation and change the channel.
Does the AI summary use credits?
Yes. Each summary uses AI credits. Free starts with no AI credits, so earn them with referrals and invites or buy a credit pack. Pro is $10/mo billed annually.
