Watch a public URL as a pipeline source
Poll a public profile or post URL when a channel will not list your posts through its API. URL watch turns a public page into a pipeline trigger, so LinkedIn without read approval and personal Facebook profiles can still feed automated repurposing.
Why you need this
How it changes your marketing workflow
Automation usually stops at whichever channels grant API read access, which quietly excludes some of the places you actually post — a personal profile, or a LinkedIn account whose read permissions were never approved. Watching the public page closes that gap without asking anyone for approval.
How it works
From open to result in a few steps
Choose the source channel
Every source card in the Source tab carries a URL watch option, from Facebook and LinkedIn Page through YouTube, TikTok, Bluesky and Mastodon.
Paste a profile or post URL
Watch URL takes a public permalink; the pipeline polls that page rather than calling the channel's API.
Confirm it reads
Load latest post fetches the page immediately so you can see what the pipeline will treat as the source.
Set the check interval
Check for new content runs from Every hour to Every week, and Run now processes the latest snapshot straight away.

Why it matters
The payoff of having automation built into your workspace
Channels without read access still automate
A personal Facebook profile or a LinkedIn account without Graph read approval can still be a pipeline source through its public page.
Failures say what went wrong
Private or login-walled pages fail with a clear message rather than returning empty runs that look like nothing was posted.
No duplicate posts on the first check
The first scheduled check records a baseline, so later checks only fire when a genuinely new post fingerprint appears.
