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.

Smartsheet Overview#

The Smartsheet API unlocks the power of managing and automating complex workflows, directly interacting with Smartsheet's features such as sheets, rows, columns, and attachments. You can create, read, update, and delete sheets, share them with others, and extract complex data reports. Leveraging the API on Pipedream allows for seamless integration with other services for enhanced productivity and data management. Whether you're orchestrating an approval process, syncing data across platforms, or automating project tracking, the Smartsheet API pairs with Pipedream's serverless platform to build powerful, scalable, and automated workflows.

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Smartsheet	`smartsheet`	`app`	This component uses the Smartsheet app.

Action Authentication#

Smartsheet uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Smartsheet account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Smartsheet and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Smartsheet API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
