How to auto-post blog summaries from RSS to Bluesky with Zapier Agents
The problem
Every new blog post should be promoted on social media, but writing a hook for each one is easy to skip.
Tools needed
- Zapier Agents (Zapier Central in the source)
- RSS by Zapier
- Bluesky
- A style guide document
Step-by-step recipe
- Create an agent with an RSS by Zapier trigger on your blog's feed.
- Connect Bluesky's Create Post action.
- Upload a style guide as a knowledge source.
- Instruct the agent to write a short, punchy hook that links to the article, and let it fill the action fields.
- Test in preview, optionally turn on Require Approval, then publish.
Copyable prompt
A new article was published: {{title}} ({{link}})
{{summary}}
Write one Bluesky post (max 280 characters) following the attached style guide: open with a specific, curiosity-driving hook drawn from the article, no clickbait, at most one emoji, no hashtags, end with the link.Original template written by AgentRecipes, not copied from the source. Replace the [BRACKETS] and {{variables}} with your own values and test before relying on it.
What the builder reported
The author's agent is live and keeps Bluesky stocked with hooks for new articles while they're away. No post counts or engagement figures.
These are the source author's own claims. AgentRecipes has not tested or verified them.
