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";
import rssCommon from "../common/common.mjs";
export default defineSource({
    ...rssCommon,
    key: "rss-random-item-in-multiple-feeds",

                rss,
                "urls",
            ],
        },
    },
    dedupe: "unique",
    hooks: {
        async activate() {
            // Try to parse the feed one time to confirm we can fetch and parse.
            // The code will throw any errors to the user.
            for (const url of this.urls) {
                await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(url);
            }
        },
    },
    async run() {
        const items = [];
        for (const url of this.urls) {
            const feedItems = await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(url);
            items.push(...feedItems);
        }
        const item = items[Math.floor(Math.random() * items.length)];
        const meta = this.generateMeta(item);
        this.$emit(item, meta);
    },
});

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
ProfitWell	`profitwell`	`app`	This component uses the ProfitWell app.
User ID	`userId`	`string`	Only use if you are referencing an existing user for whom you need to create an additional subscription.
User Alias	`userAlias`	`string`	For a new user, you can include your own identifier here. If creating a subscription for an existing user, this can be used instead of `User ID`.
Subscription Alias	`subscriptionAlias`	`string`	If included, you can use this to reference the subscription later, instead of its ID. Note that this alias must be unique across all users in your company, and cannot contain more than 36 characters.
Email Address	`email`	`string`	The email address of the user. This will be the display text that is used on the Customers tab.
Plan ID	`planId`	`string`	The ID of the plan that the user is on. For the sake of consistency (and the ability to later segment your data), this name should be consistent across everyone who is on this plan.
Plan Interval	`planInterval`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu:`monthyear`
Plan Currency	`planCurrency`	`string`	The currency in which users of this plan are charged. See the docs for the full list of accepted currency codes.
