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.

sendSMS Overview#

The sendSMS API provides a straightforward way to integrate SMS capabilities into automation workflows on Pipedream. This API allows you to send text messages directly to users' phones, which can be pivotal for timely alerts, critical notifications, or personalized marketing messages. With Pipedream's serverless platform, you can trigger these SMS communications based on a wide variety of events, such as new e-commerce orders, support ticket updates, or even changes in third-party APIs.
