How to include an image from an RSS to a post Bluesky

After several very impressive exchanges with AI, I am still struggling to integrate an image from an RSS feed into a Bluesky post.

In my Facebook zaps, all it takes is one RSS step and one FB post to get the result. But that doesn't work for Bluesky.

The AI made several attempts to extract the correct URL from the RSS feed, finally finding it in a <content:embedded> tag, but since there are several articles in the feed, the image retrieved by a formatter action is always that of the first article in the feed.

Tests from the HTML page did not work because there are many URLs on the page...

Any help in creating a zap that can locate the <content:embedded> and retrieve the first image URL to put in the post would be greatly appreciated...

after several tests, the solution is quite simple, using “Raw enclosure URL”.
There is still an issue regarding the image sometimes bigger than the maximum limit set by bluesky. (1MB)

AI tools proposed to add a webservice for resizing, but i try to solve this in the rss flow itself

thanks

Hey ​@pamillet,

Can you post screenshots of Data In and Data Out as well as how each Zap step is configured for us to have more context?

I don’t know what particular actions you are already using to get the correct URL from the feed but you can also use AI by Zapier action to extract the required details.

 

Hope it helps!

Hi there ​@pamillet! Have you had a chance to try out the Analyze and Return Data action that Sparsh suggested using?

Let us know how it goes. Happy to lend a hand if you need any more help 🙂

A suggestion… if you can add a resizing image tools in zapier itself, it’d be great !

​Thanks for sharing what the solution was ​@pamillet! Glad to hear you were able to get that part sorted at least.

Love this idea! I’ve passed this over to our Product team for consideration. I can’t make any promises around it if/when it might get added but we’ll be sure to let you know if it is. 

In the meantime, it should be possible to resize images within the Zap using an app like ImageTools Hub or Mallabe Images. Check out the list of similar Image & Design apps here that might also allow you to resize images in a Zap. 

Hope that helps. If you run into any further issues or questions at all, do let me know.
