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.

Microsoft 365 People Overview#

The Microsoft 365 People API lets you tap into your organization's contact data, providing access to people's info within your Microsoft 365 domain. With this API, you can search for users and contacts, discover relationships, and construct rich profiles that include contact information, organizational hierarchies, and photo URLs. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to automate contact management tasks, enhance CRM data, or trigger actions based on changes in your organization's personnel.
