Integrate with services
Let IFTTT or Zapier do something whenever you save a link to Refind—for example, post to Facebook or Twitter.
Use your RSS feed to instruct IFTTT or Zapier to do something whenever you save a link to Refind. Your RSS feed includes all your links plus a share text (think: a Tweet).
Your RSS feed (excluding Twitter links)
http://www.farstemp.com/your_screen_name/posts.rss
Note: Your posts.rss feed excludes links that were imported via Twitter (to avoid posting them to social media again). There’s also an RSS feed with all your links (http://www.farstemp.com/your_screen_name.rss), which you might want to use for other purposes.
Parameters (optional)
mentions: 0 (default), 1, 2, or 3
Twitter doesn’t allow @mentions via API so we exclude them by default.
Fields in the RSS feed
Title: share text + URL
Link: URL
If the target source needs an URL parameter, use Link / EntryLink. If not, use only Title / EntryTitle: despite its name, it doesn’t only contain the title but a fully rendered share text (think: a Tweet), including the link URL. Note that IFTTT shortens your URLs by default. If you don’t want that (Twitter shortens them anyway), you can turn it off in IFTTT's settings: https://ifttt.com/settings
Step by step
Here we’ll show you how to set it up using IFTTT.
1. Login to IFTTT and click on New Applet on the top right.
2. Click on this.
3. Choose RSS Feed.
4. Choose New feed item.
5. Enter your RSS feed:
http://www.farstemp.com/your_screen_name/posts.rss
6. Choose that.
7. Choose a target service, for example Facebook or Twitter.
8. Choose Create a link post.
9. Type {{EntryTitle}} into the Message field.
8. Choose Post a Tweet.
9. Remove {{EntryUrl}} from the Tweet text field.
9. Review and finish the applet.
That’s it. Next time you save a link to Refind, it’ll get posted automatically a few minutes later.
