Overview of RSS#

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.

Connect RSS#

module.exports = defineComponent({
  props: {
    rss: {
      type: "app",
      app: "rss",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Retrieve items from a sample feed
    const Parser = require('rss-parser');
    const parser = new Parser();
    
    const stories = []
    
    // Replace with your feed URL
    const url = "https://pipedream.com/community/latest.rss"
    
    const feed = await parser.parseURL(url);
    const { title, items } = feed
    this.title = title
    
    if (!items.length) {
      $end("No new stories")
    }
    
    this.items = items
  },
})

Overview of Slack Bot#

The Slack Bot API allows you to build rich, interactive bots for Slack workspaces. These bots can respond to messages, post updates, and interact with users in various ways. With the Slack Bot API on Pipedream, developers can create automated workflows that trigger on specific events in Slack, such as new messages or reactions, and then perform defined actions, like sending data to other apps or processing the information within Pipedream's serverless platform. This tight integration with Pipedream enables both simple and complex automations, leveraging Pipedream's ability to connect with numerous apps and its powerful built-in code steps.

Connect Slack Bot#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    slack_bot: {
      type: "app",
      app: "slack_bot",
    },
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://slack.com/api/auth.test`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.slack_bot.$auth.bot_token}`,
      },
      method: 'post',
    })
  },
})
