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.

TextCortex Overview#

The TextCortex API enables automated creation of human-like text, making it a powerful tool for a variety of text generation tasks like drafting emails, creating content, or generating product descriptions. With Pipedream, you can integrate TextCortex into serverless workflows to harness AI writing assistance, trigger content creation based on events, or enhance data with generated text. The API's capability enhances automation and can be combined with other apps for more complex tasks.
