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.

SMTP2GO Overview#

SMTP2GO is an email delivery service that offers a robust SMTP API for sending emails. With the SMTP2GO API, you can programmatically send emails, get detailed reports on email delivery, and manage your sender reputation. It's useful for transactional emails, where reliability and deliverability are paramount, such as sending receipts, notifications, or password resets. When paired with Pipedream, SMTP2GO becomes a powerhouse, enabling you to create intricate automated workflows combining email capabilities with hundreds of other apps.
