The RSS Feed block monitors RSS and Atom feeds – when new items are published, your workflow triggers automatically.
Configuration
- Add RSS Feed Block - Drag the RSS Feed block to start your workflow
- Enter Feed URL - Paste the URL of any RSS or Atom feed
- Deploy - Deploy your workflow to activate polling
Once deployed, the feed is checked every minute for new items.
Output Fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
title | string | Item title |
link | string | Item link |
pubDate | string | Publication date |
item | object | Raw item with all fields |
feed | object | Raw feed metadata |
Access mapped fields directly (<rss.title>) or use the raw objects for any field (<rss.item.author>, <rss.feed.language>).
Use Cases
- Content monitoring - Track blogs, news sites, or competitor updates
- Podcast automation - Trigger workflows when new episodes drop
- Release tracking - Monitor GitHub releases, changelogs, or product updates
- Social aggregation - Collect content from platforms that expose RSS feeds
RSS triggers only fire for items published after you save the trigger. Existing feed items are not processed.
