How do Crossposting from Google+ to Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin

This post in full sent to our reader Ilya Beketov for publication.

After repeated attempts to organize Crossposting on Google+, it without a third-party plug-ins, it seems, managed to find an acceptable means.

The algorithm is a ...

1. Get RSS-feed public record of your profile on Google+. To do this, get your id from the URL on Google+ page profile. The URL is: https://plus.google.com/107656567161690104938/posts. Id in this case - 107656567161690104938.

2. With the help of the service PlusFeed We get the URL RSS-stream, which will have the following form: http://plusfeed.appspot.com/107656567161690104938

3. Connect the channel with RSS-feeds in ifttt.com. To do this, register an account with ifttt.com. This wonderful service is already wrote Layfhakere on, so I will not describe in detail. For this purpose it is necessary to request an invite on the site. Typically, invites sent in a couple of days after the request.

After registration, you will activate their accounts in facebook, linkedin and twitter. This can be done by clicking on the logo you are interested in the service on the right side ifttt home page, or from the Channels page. You can also connect your RSS by Google+.

4. Create messages import rules. To do this, turn on the Create link in the upper right corner of ifttt. Click on this. In step «Choose a trigger channel», choose our stream with RSS.

Next, at step «Choose a trigger» may choose from two options: import the whole stream or import only messages that have in your text any keyword (eg #twi).

In step «Choose action channel» need to select a channel, in which a message should be sent from the RSS-stream. It must be said that the channels are not limited to one social network, it is also possible to direct the flow of mail, calendar, or even receive SMS-messages on your phone. At least for Ukraine is working, the only "but" - the service is not yet understood the message in Cyrillic.

Further, «Choose an action». For Twitter have the opportunity to add a message or add a user. In this case we are interested in the first place. In step «Complete action fields» are prompted to edit the message using the form tag. In fact, you can customize completely in his own taste, using the current date / time, headlines, etc.

Well that's all, left click on the button «Create Action», enter a description, if required and click on the button «Create & turn on».

Refresh rules occurs every 15 minutes, or manual activation.

It should be noted that at this stage the data crutches were the most comfortable of working. However, they are like all the crutches have drawbacks. Thus, the import can only be open to all records, and should seek the help of third-party services for RSS.

Although, as noted by developers ifttt service on his blog after the opening of Google+ API will be possible to refuse to work with RSS feeds.
