New Item in Feed on RSS

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#

Status Hero Overview#

The Status Hero API allows you to interface with the Status Hero platform programmatically, enabling you to automate stand-ups, collect team status updates, and integrate this data with other apps and services. By leveraging Pipedream's capabilities, you can set up workflows that react to new check-ins, sync updates to project management tools, or analyze team productivity by aggregating status data.

    });
    $.export("$summary", `Absence has been created. Member(${this.memberId}) Date(${this.date})`);
    return resp;
