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#

Papyrs Overview#

The Papyrs API facilitates the creation and manipulation of rich text documents in your Papyrs intranet. With it, you can automate the handling of text-documents, forms, and pages within your organization's Papyrs account. When combined with Pipedream's capacity to connect to various APIs, the Papyrs API can be a powerful tool for document-driven workflow automation. You can trigger actions in Papyrs based on events from other apps, process Papyrs data for insights, or synchronize Papyrs content with external systems, databases, or file storage solutions.

Action Authentication#

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

To get your API Token, go to Site Settings > Integrations & SSO > API to request API access to your account.

Once API support is enabled, Site Owners can go to Site Settings > Integrations & SSO and click Generate Token to create a new unique API token for users.
You can get your Site Name by looking at the URL on your Papyrs dashboard -- it has the structure, https://{site_name}.papyrs.com/@home/Getting-Started.
