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#

import rss from "../../app/rss.app.mjs";
import { defineSource } from "@pipedream/types";
import rssCommon from "../common/common.mjs";
export default defineSource({
    ...rssCommon,

            if (Number.isNaN(publishedAfter) || publishedAfter > ts) {
                continue;
            }
            const meta = this.generateMeta(item);
            this.$emit(item, meta);
        }
    },
});

HelloLeads Overview#

The HelloLeads API integrates with Pipedream to automate your lead management processes. By leveraging this API on Pipedream, you can streamline contact syncing, lead tracking, and perform actions based on lead status changes. With serverless workflows, you can connect HelloLeads with various apps like CRMs, communication platforms, or data analysis tools to enhance lead engagement, follow-up efficiency, and data-driven decision-making.
