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#

import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";
import rssCommon from "../common/common.mjs";
export default defineSource({
    ...rssCommon,
    key: "rss-new-item-in-feed",

                "url",
            ],

        },
    },
    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.
            await this.rss.fetchAndParseFeed(this.url);
        },
    },
    methods: {
        ...rssCommon.methods,
        generateMeta: function (item) {
            return {
                id: this.rss.itemKey(item),
                summary: item.title,
                ts: Date.now(),

            const ts = this.rss.itemTs(item);
            if (Number.isNaN(publishedAfter) || publishedAfter > ts) {
                continue;
            }
            const meta = this.generateMeta(item);
            this.$emit(item, meta);
        }
    },
});

Triggre Overview#

The Triggre API offers a gateway to interact with the Triggre platform, enabling you to automate processes, manage data, and integrate with other services. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to create powerful serverless workflows, connecting Triggre with numerous other apps to streamline operations, trigger actions based on events, and manipulate data in real-time. This empowers you to build custom, automated solutions that bridge the gap between Triggre and the rest of your tech stack.

Action Code#

import triggre from "../../triggre.app.mjs";

export default {
  key: "triggre-start-automation-flow",
  name: "Start Automation Flow",

  async run({ $ }) {
    const response = await this.triggre.startAutomationFlow({
      $,
      flowName: encodeURI(this.flowName),
      flowNameWithUnderscores: this.flowName.replace(/ /g, "_"),
      data: this.flowData,
    });
    $.export("$summary", `Successfully started automation flow ${this.flowName}`);
    return response;
  },
};
