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#

Process Street Overview#

The Process Street API empowers you to automate and integrate your checklists and workflows with other apps to streamline business operations. With the API, you can create workflows, manage tasks, trigger actions based on checklist completion, and synchronize data across tools. This paves the way for endless possibilities in terms of project management, compliance tracking, onboarding processes, and routine audits, all managed within the familiar interface of Process Street but supercharged with Pipedream's connectivity.
