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.

WaiverFile Overview#

With the WaiverFile API, you can automate interactions with your WaiverFile account directly from Pipedream. This API provides access to manage and retrieve waivers, customer data, and events, allowing you to integrate WaiverFile with other services for streamlined workflows. You could automate the sending of waiver links, synchronize signed waivers with a database, or trigger actions based on waiver completions. The flexibility of the WaiverFile API means you can create powerful automations tailored to your business needs on Pipedream's serverless platform.
