This integration creates a workflow with a RSS trigger and Digital Ocean action. When you configure and deploy the workflow, it will run on Pipedream's servers 24x7 for free.

  1. Select this integration
  2. Configure the New Item in Feed trigger
    1. Connect your RSS account
    2. Configure timer
    3. Configure Feed URL
    4. Optional- Configure Published After Than
  3. Configure the Create Droplet action
    1. Connect your Digital Ocean account
    2. Configure Name
    3. Select a Region
  4. Deploy the workflow
  5. Send a test event to validate your setup
  6. Turn on the trigger

Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed
Version:1.2.3
Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

RSS Overview

With the RSS API you have the power to create powerful tools and applications.
RSS is a great way to reliably subscribe to, track and build around your
favorite content sources. Here are some examples of things you can create
using the RSS API:

  • A personal news website to syndicate articles from multiple sources.
  • A custom feed reader to deliver timely notifications of updates and news.
  • A live editorial dashboard to track news, trends and public sentiment.
  • An automated “report bot” to aggregate and report on news topics.
  • A competitor tracking tool to stay on top of industry news.
  • A custom RSS-based search engine or RSS-supported deep learning engine.
  • A live events feed to notify users and followers of new developments.

Description:Creates a droplet. [See the docs here](https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#operation/create_droplet)
Version:0.1.2
Key:digital_ocean-create-droplet

Digital Ocean Overview

You can use the Digital Ocean API to manage Droplets (virtual private servers),
resources within those Droplets, and other account-wide resources like domains
and images.

Examples of what you can build using the Digital Ocean API include:

  • A script to create and destroy Droplets on demand
  • A script to snapshot (back up) your Droplets on a regular basis
  • A script to add and remove SSH keys from your account
  • A script to manage domain records (DNS)
  • A script to add and remove Floating IPs from your account
