I’ve been using If This Then That<\/a>\u00a0(best part? it’s free!) for several months, and wanted to share a simple way to post updates from Google+ (or any RSS feed, but I digress) to your other social media services.<\/p>\n

Currently I only use Google+<\/a>, LinkedIn<\/a>, Twitter<\/a>, and Facebook <\/a>– though I am sure this basic process will work for any other ifttt-supported social media service which you can access in a write form (they call them channels<\/a>).<\/p>\n

There’s a way to use email to post updates to Facebook<\/a> and Twitter, but I kinda like the ifttt method more – it’s more intuitive to me.<\/p>\n

Here’s the basic method (or you can use the recipe<\/a> I shared that does this):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. login\/authorize GPlusRSS<\/a>\u00a0with your Google account<\/li>\n
  2. copy the RSS feed GPlusRSS gives you of your G+ public<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>posts<\/li>\n
  3. login to ifttt<\/a>\u00a0and enable\/authorize (if you haven’t previously) the channel<\/a> for the social media service you want to post\u00a0to<\/em> (I’m using Twitter for this example)<\/li>\n
  4. create a new recipe<\/a>\n
      \n
    1. click “this”<\/li>\n
    2. click “Feed” (at this point you can post\u00a0everything<\/em> or you can post\u00a0some<\/em> things – I’m going to go the\u00a0some<\/em> route here)<\/li>\n
    3. click “New feed item matches”<\/li>\n
    4. in “Keyword or simple phrase”, enter something unique-ish (I use “#twt”)<\/li>\n
    5. in “Feed URL”, paste the URL GPlusRSS gave you at parent step 2<\/li>\n
    6. click “Create Trigger”<\/li>\n
    7. click “that”<\/li>\n
    8. click the social media channel you chose in parent step 3<\/li>\n
    9. click “Post a tweet”<\/li>\n
    10. click “Create Action”<\/li>\n
    11. in “Description”, give it a good name, such as “post G+ updates to Twitter if tagged #twt”<\/li>\n
    12. click “Create Recipe”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    13. done<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If Google+ ever decides to open their API better, ifttt should be able to have a channel for them.<\/p>\n

      Until then, the above method works like a champ – I use similar recipes for cross-posting to LinkedIn and Facebook from Google+ along with Twitter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
