New Item in Feed on RSS

Description:Emit new items from an RSS feed

Version:1.2.6

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.

MeisterTask Overview#

MeisterTask's API enables automation of task management processes, offering a programmatic way to interact with your tasks and projects. By leveraging the API with Pipedream, you can create powerful, serverless workflows that react to events in MeisterTask, manipulate tasks and projects, or synchronize data across multiple platforms. It's a robust tool for enhancing productivity and streamlining project collaboration.
