New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.6

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.

Trigger Code#

import rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";
import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";

            this.$emit(item, meta);
        }
    },
});

Create Entry on Gravity Forms

Gravity Forms Overview#

The Gravity Forms API allows you to interact programmatically with Gravity Forms, a WordPress form plugin, to create, update, delete, and retrieve form entries. Within Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate workflows, integrate with other apps, and manipulate form data in real-time. By connecting Gravity Forms to Pipedream's serverless platform, you open up possibilities to sync form submissions with databases, trigger notifications, or even process payments automatically.
