New Item in Feed on RSS

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.

Docupilot Overview#

Docupilot offers powerful document automation capabilities, allowing you to create dynamic documents based on templates and data inputs. With the Docupilot API, you can integrate this functionality directly into Pipedream workflows, triggering document generation from a myriad of events and data sources. Think of automating contract creation when a new deal is won in your CRM, or sending personalized letters en masse with the click of a button. The API empowers you to craft, distribute, and manage documents efficiently and programmatically.
