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.

Mailgun Overview#

The Mailgun API on Pipedream is a potent tool for automating email operations without the overhead of managing a full-fledged email server. It offers capabilities to send, receive, track, and store emails with ease. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can trigger workflows using Mailgun events, such as inbound emails or delivery status changes, and connect them to hundreds of other services to streamline communication, marketing, and notification systems within your ecosystem.
