New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.9

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.

Todoist Overview#

The Todoist API unlocks the potential to automate task management with precision. With Pipedream, you can craft workflows that react to events in Todoist, like task completions or due date changes, or drive actions in Todoist, such as creating tasks or updating projects. By integrating Todoist with Pipedream, you can seamlessly connect your to-do list with other apps to streamline your productivity, manage tasks based on triggers from other services, or compile reports on your task management patterns.
