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.

Trigger Code#

Ramp (Sandbox) Overview#

The Ramp (Sandbox) API provides programmatic access to manage corporate cards and spending in a controlled environment, ideal for testing and development. With this API on Pipedream, developers can automate financial operations, synchronize accounting data, and streamline expense management workflows. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, users can integrate Ramp with other services to enhance financial visibility, automate reconciliation processes, and trigger actions based on spending activities.

Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Ramp (Sandbox) API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
