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#

import rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";
import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import rssCommon from "../common/common.mjs";
export default defineSource({
    ...rssCommon,
    key: "rss-random-item-in-multiple-feeds",
    name: "Random item from multiple RSS feeds",
    type: "source",
    description: "Emit a random item from multiple RSS feeds",
    version: "0.2.7",
    props: {
        ...rssCommon.props,
        urls: {
            propDefinition: [
                rss,
                "urls",
            ],
        },
    },
    dedupe: "unique",
    hooks: {
        async activate() {
            // Try to parse the feed one time to confirm we can fetch and parse.
            // The code will throw any errors to the user.
            for (const url of this.urls) {
                await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(url);
            }
        },
    },
    async run() {
        const items = [];
        for (const url of this.urls) {
            const feedItems = await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(url);
            items.push(...feedItems);
        }
        const item = items[Math.floor(Math.random() * items.length)];
        const meta = this.generateMeta(item);
        this.$emit(item, meta);
    },
});

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description

LoopMessage Overview#

The LoopMessage API offers you the ability to send, receive, and manage messages within your applications. Through Pipedream's integration, you can harness this API to automate communication processes, organize message flows, and even connect to various data sources or other APIs to create complex messaging workflows. With Pipedream, you can trigger actions based on events, schedule messages, and interact with users in real-time without managing servers or infrastructure.

Action Code#

import common from "../common/send-message.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "loopmessage-send-text-message",
  name: "Send Text Message",
  description: "Action to send a text in iMessage to an individual recipient. [See the documentation](https://docs.loopmessage.com/imessage-conversation-api/messaging/send-message#send-single-message)",
  type: "action",
  version: "0.0.2",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    service: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.app,
        "service",
      ],
    },
    subject: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.app,
        "subject",
      ],
    },
    effect: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.app,
        "effect",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    getSummary(response) {
      return `Successfully sent a text message with ID \`${response.message_id}\``;
    },
  },
};

Status Callback	`statusCallback`	`string`	The URL that will receive status updates for this message. Check the Webhooks section for details. Max length is 256 characters.

Action Authentication#

LoopMessage uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your LoopMessage account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to LoopMessage APIs in both code and no-code steps.
