Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

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.

Trigger Code#

Trigger Configuration#

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

Label	Prop	Type	Description
RSS	`rss`	`app`	This component uses the RSS app.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	How often you want to poll the feed for new items
Feed URL	`url`	`string`	Enter the URL for any public RSS feed
Published After	`publishedAfter`	`string`	Emit items published after the specified date in ISO 8601 format .e.g `2022-12-07T12:57:10+07:00`

Testmo Overview#

The Testmo API enables automation and integration of your testing workflows into the broader CI/CD pipeline. With Pipedream, you can use this API to trigger tests, update test cases, log results, and sync status with other project management tools. By creating custom serverless workflows on Pipedream, you can connect Testmo to various apps, manage test lifecycles, and respond to events from other services in real-time.
