Trigger#

New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.7

Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

View on GitHub

RSS Overview#

The RSS app allows users to automatically fetch and parse updates from web feeds. This functionality is pivotal for staying abreast of content changes or updates from websites, blogs, and news outlets that offer RSS feeds. With Pipedream, you can harness the RSS API to trigger workflows that enable a broad range of automations, like content aggregation, monitoring for specific keywords, notifications, and data synchronization across platforms.

Onfleet Overview#

The Onfleet API integrates with Pipedream to power logistics and delivery operations, offering real-time tracking, optimized routes, automatic dispatch, analytics, and communication with drivers. With Pipedream's serverless platform, one can automate complex workflows involving Onfleet and other apps, triggering actions based on events, scheduling tasks, or processing data to enhance delivery services.

Action Authentication#

Onfleet uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Onfleet account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Onfleet APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To retrieve your API key,
