New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.7

Key:rss-new-item-in-feed

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#

SuiteDash Overview#

The SuiteDash API lets you streamline business operations by automating tasks within SuiteDash, a platform designed for client management, project management, invoicing, and more. Leveraging this API in Pipedream, you can develop custom, serverless workflows. These can include syncing client data across platforms, automating project updates, or triggering event-based invoicing. The key here is to harness the data and actions available through the API to enhance efficiency and reduce manual workload.
