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.

DocsBot AI Overview#

DocsBot AI API transforms natural language into structured data, enabling the extraction and analysis of information from unstructured text. In Pipedream, you can leverage this API to automate workflows that require processing of text for sentiment analysis, summarization, or data extraction. With Pipedream's serverless platform, these capabilities can be integrated into diverse systems without writing complex infrastructure code.
