About Etsy Auto Feed
CoPost's Auto Feed feature allows you to connect your Etsy Store and define settings on how you would like the automation to run. After this is set up you can leave it to run on it's own, CoPost will check the store for new products every hour, 6 hours or 24 hours depending on the frequency you choose and import any new products and add them to a publishing queue.
Steps to Set up an Etsy Auto Feed
First Steps
- Click on Auto Feed on the left-hand menu.
- Click on the Add Automation button
- Click on Add Automation on the Etsy card
Store Details
- Fill in the URL and name of your store
You can add the homepage or sections of the store as long as it contains products
Post Captions
- Choose whether to use AI to create your captions or use a template for each post that is created.
Fine Tuning the Auto Feed Settings
- Here we can customize the auto feed further
- Choose the frequency of which CoPost will check for new items.
- Create a new post slot collection to add new posts to or choose an existing one, see more here on creating post slot collections.
- You can add a follow up comment that will be posted as a comment to each post, the comment can also have a conditional delay.
- Conditional keywords allow you to specify one of more words to act as a filter, items can be included or excluded from the auto feed based upon the keywords you define.
- Marking the posts as drafts will schedule each post but with a status of Scheduled Draft meaning they will need to be manually approved before the scheduled date before they can be posted online.
- Enable queue jump mode means that when new items are found and added to the Auto Feed, the new items will go straight to the front of the queue, pushing other items back one place.
- Only import future products will setup the Auto Feed with a blank queue, any new items found after setup will be imported and added to the queue.
Choosing the Type of Post
- Finally choose the post type that this automation will create.
- Single image post will attach the main or first image found to the post.
- Multi image post will gather all images found for the item if multiple images exist.
- Link post will not attach any images, the post will display on social media as a website preview.
After an Auto Feed is created, you can edit the settings and the new settings will be used for any new items found
