# RSS auto-post: definition for social media posting

What rss auto-post means in social media posting, in plain words, with how 1Post handles it.

RSS auto-posting turns each new item in a feed, such as a blog, into a post. The post is built from a template you write with fields like title and link. In 1Post new items are saved for your review by default, and sending them straight to the queue is an opt-in with a daily limit.

A template means every post is written by you in advance, with the title and link filled in.

A daily cap stops a burst of new items becoming a burst of posts.

## Questions

**Does it post by itself?**

Only if you turn that on. By default each new item waits for you.
