New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.9

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.

            this.$emit(item, meta);

Plaid Overview#

The Plaid API offers a multitude of financial data operations, enabling developers to manage and interact with user bank accounts, transactions, identity info, and more, all within a secure and compliant ecosystem. Integrating Plaid with Pipedream can unlock powerful automations, like syncing transaction data to accounting software, verifying user identities for KYC compliance, and automating financial alerts or reporting.
