New Item From Multiple RSS Feeds 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.

Starshipit Overview#

The Starshipit API is a tool for optimizing and automating shipping and fulfillment processes. By integrating it with Pipedream, you can create powerful serverless workflows that connect Starshipit with other apps and services to streamline e-commerce operations, reduce manual entry, and improve customer experiences. From automating order dispatch to synchronizing tracking information across platforms, the possibilities are vast.
