Knowledge

Fetch and parse RSS/Atom feeds

Overview

The RSS Feed step fetches items from an RSS or Atom feed URL and parses them into a structured rows array. Each feed item becomes a row with fields like title, link, description, and publish date, compatible with For Each for per-item processing.

When to Use

Monitor news feeds for relevant articles and summarize them with AI
Pull blog post data to cross-post or repurpose content
Aggregate content from multiple RSS sources for a digest workflow
Track industry updates by fetching and analyzing feed items

How It Works

The step reads a feed_url from its input record, fetches the RSS or Atom feed, and parses the entries. Outputs a list array of feed items with metadata (title, link, description, publish date, etc.) plus a list_count. Connect to a For Each step to process items individually.
