I have built a simple workflow that (theoretically) listens to my blog’s RSS feed and generates posts to Mastodon and BSky. The RSS feed trigger is set to run every 15 minutes, but it’s not running on its own – only when I trigger it manually. The logs show only manual runs for the last couple of weeks, with no intervening errors. Any ideas about what I need to do to get it to run automatically as per the timer?
Hi @kfitz,
It sounds like you’re experiencing an issue with your RSS feed trigger not running automatically as scheduled. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
-
Check the Trigger Configuration: Ensure that the RSS feed trigger is correctly configured to run every 15 minutes. Double-check the schedule settings to confirm that they are set up as intended.
-
Verify the Feed URL: Make sure the RSS feed URL is correct and accessible. You can test the URL in a browser or a tool like Postman to ensure it’s returning the expected data.
-
Review the Logs: Since the logs only show manual runs, there might be an issue with the trigger configuration or the feed itself. Look for any error messages or warnings in the logs that might indicate a problem.
-
Check for Rate Limiting: Some RSS feeds have rate limits that might prevent frequent polling. Ensure that your feed allows polling every 15 minutes.
-
Inspect the Workflow: Ensure that there are no conditions or filters in your workflow that might prevent it from running automatically.
