New Item From Multiple RSS Feeds on RSS

Description:Emit new items from multiple RSS feeds

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.

Action Authentication#

Zoho Assist uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Zoho Assist account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Zoho Assist and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Zoho Assist API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
