Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger#

New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.7

Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

View on GitHub

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#

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
RSS	`rss`	`app`	This component uses the RSS app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often you want to poll the feed for new items
Feed URL	`url`	`string`	Enter the URL for any public RSS feed
Published After	`publishedAfter`	`string`	Emit items published after the specified date in ISO 8601 format .e.g `2022-12-07T12:57:10+07:00`

Trigger Authentication#

The RSS API does not require authentication.

Find Row on PostgreSQL

Description:Finds a row in a table via a lookup column. [See the documentation](https://node-postgres.com/features/queries)

Version:2.0.7

View on GitHub

PostgreSQL Overview#

On Pipedream, you can leverage the PostgreSQL app to create workflows that automate database operations, synchronize data across platforms, and react to database events in real-time. Think handling new row entries, updating records from webhooks, or even compiling reports on a set schedule. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful way to connect PostgreSQL with a variety of apps, enabling you to create tailored automation that fits your specific needs.

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
PostgreSQL	`postgresql`	`app`	This component uses the PostgreSQL app.
Schema	`schema`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Table	`table`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Lookup Column	`column`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Lookup Value	`value`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

PostgreSQL uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your PostgreSQL account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to PostgreSQL APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Connecting to Restricted Databases

Either enable the shared static IP for this account below, or configure a VPC to deploy any workflow in your workspace to a private network with a dedicated static IP. Learn more in our docs

SSL Setup

Configure SSL on your PostgreSQL database by providing the CA (Certificate Authority), and choosing between Full Verification, Verify Certificate Authority (CA), or Skip Verification. Skipping verification is not recommended as this has serious security implications
