New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.7

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.

Chaser Overview#

The Chaser API enables users to automate their accounts receivable process efficiently, making it possible to manage and follow up on invoices programmatically. By integrating Chaser with Pipedream, users can automate invoice reminders, synchronize financial data with other business applications, and generate detailed accounts receivable reports. These capabilities help businesses improve their cash flow and minimize the time spent on manual follow-ups.
