Real Simple Syndication
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.
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
},
})
The Thanks.io API lets you automate the sending of personalized postcards and letters. This API can be harnessed to craft tailored outreach campaigns, customer appreciation notes, or event-based mailings. By integrating with Pipedream, you can create intelligent, event-driven workflows that trigger mailings based on user activity, data changes, or milestones achieved in other apps, streamlining the way businesses and developers connect with their audiences physically.
