New Item in Feed on RSS

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";

            this.$emit(item, meta);

FogBugz Overview#

The FogBugz API allows you to interact with your FogBugz software development tracking system programmatically. With this API, you can create, read, update, and delete cases; manage projects, areas, and categories; and perform searches to gather data-driven insights. Integrating FogBugz with Pipedream opens up possibilities for automating workflows, syncing data across platforms, and reacting to events within FogBugz in real-time.
