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.

Trigger Code#

Cohere Overview#

The Cohere API enables the development of apps with advanced natural language understanding capabilities. Utilizing machine learning, it can help with tasks like text generation, summarization, sentiment analysis, and more. On Pipedream, you can seamlessly integrate Cohere's features into serverless workflows, triggering actions based on text input, processing large volumes of data, or even enhancing chatbots with more human-like responses.
