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.

7todos Overview#

The 7todos API empowers you to streamline the task management process by allowing you to create, read, update, and delete todos within your 7todos lists. With Pipedream, you can leverage these capabilities to automate workflows, sync tasks across multiple platforms, set reminders, or even analyze task completion rates. By connecting 7todos to other apps, you can create a seamless ecosystem for personal productivity or team collaboration.
