New Item From Multiple RSS Feeds on RSS

Description:Emit new items from multiple RSS feeds

Version:1.2.6

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.

Cisco Webex Overview#

The Cisco Webex API allows developers to integrate their applications with Cisco's robust collaboration tools, creating a workflow of communication within teams and automating various aspects of the meeting lifecycle, from scheduling to follow-up actions. With this API, you can streamline meeting setups, fetch detailed information about participants and meetings, send messages to spaces (rooms), and manage your Webex resources programmatically. Leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can connect these features with other apps to automate complex tasks, analyze meeting data, enhance productivity, and maintain a well-organized communication ecosystem.

Action Authentication#

Cisco Webex uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Cisco Webex account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Cisco Webex and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Cisco Webex API.

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