New Item From Multiple RSS Feeds on RSS

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.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
RSS	`rss`	`app`	This component uses the RSS app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often you want to poll the feed for new items
Feed URLs	`urls`	`string[]`	Enter one or multiple URLs from any public RSS feed. To avoid timeouts, 5 or less URLs is recommended.
Max per Feed	`max`	`integer`	Maximum number of posts per feed to retrieve at one time. Defaults to 20.

KanbanFlow Overview#

The KanbanFlow API unlocks the potential for creating customized, automated workflows to enhance productivity and streamline task management. By tapping into this API via Pipedream, developers can craft serverless functions that interact with KanbanFlow boards, tasks, users, and time tracking features. These automations can range from syncing tasks across platforms to triggering notifications based on task updates.
