Link your Game's News with your Social Accounts (Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, etc) now is very very easy, thanks to the Feed Rss made by indiexpo and IFTTT.

With this system you can save a lot of time!

And it is very easy and fast "to setup"! We can see how with 12 Steps!

Let's go!

2. Click on My Applets


3. Now click on New Applet


4. Click on +this


5. Now click on RSS Feed


6. then click on New Feed item


7. Now here it is important part: in the Feed URL you have to put the link to your News. It's https://www.indiexpo.net/feed/news/name-of-your-game.xml (obviously replace name-of-your-game with the name of your game...)

8. Click on +that


9. Now you can choose your social. Here we can try with Twitter (but you can also select Facebook, Pinterest, imgur or other social networks)



10. Click on Post a tweet

11. Now in the first part, you can put the main hashtags, like #gamedev, #devlog, #indiegame, etc., then the link and the content.

Here it is the base used (we suggest you to use this): #devlog #indiegame Link:  {{EntryUrl}} News: {{EntryContent}}
