New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.7

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.

ReferralHero Overview#

The ReferralHero API allows you to build custom referral marketing campaigns, manage participants, and track referral performance directly from Pipedream. You can automate participant registration, reward distribution, and integrate with other services for enhanced functionality like email marketing, CRM updates, or analytics. By leveraging Pipedream’s serverless platform, you can create workflows that react to events in ReferralHero, enrich referral data, or synchronize it with other apps.
