STEP 1
Select RSS in workflow
Pick RSS app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
RSS Integration
Read any RSS or Atom feed, or start a workflow when a new item is published. Works with blogs, news sites, podcasts and release feeds. Drop RSS into any workflow on the visual canvas to shape how automations run. Combine it with 1,300+ app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes to build the exact flow you need.

Supported triggers and actions for RSS integration
Triggers can detect changes in RSS and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside RSS automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- Watch feed itemsStart a workflow when a new item appears in an RSS or Atom feed.
- Get feed itemsRead the items of an RSS or Atom feed, newest first, with optional date limits.
How to integrate RSS in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your RSS connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect RSS
When prompted, authorize access to RSS in WEXTL once. RSS credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
RSS Access Approval
WEXTL wants to integrate with your RSS account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with RSS yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect RSS to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.
RSS
Connect RSS to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with RSS below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with RSS. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with RSS integration
Select Watch feed items trigger from RSS - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in RSS, workflow will start [7] from Watch feed items node.
Search for Get feed items, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch feed items and Get feed items, so only important data pass from Watch feed items to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of RSS automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
RSS on WEXTL has 2 modules for building built-in automations. Explore RSS documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating RSS in your workflows.
RSS is a built-in WEXTL workflow node. In practice, read any RSS or Atom feed, or start a workflow when a new item is published. Works with blogs, news sites, podcasts and release feeds. Configure the node's settings panel to control how it behaves inside your automation.
Drop RSS onto the visual canvas alongside app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes. Connect it to the steps before and after, configure its parameters, and it runs as part of the automation every time the workflow executes.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. WEXTL authenticates every connection per account, encrypts credentials at rest, and lets you enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation that uses RSS.
RSS runs alongside app integrations on the same workflow canvas. It receives data from upstream steps (triggers or other nodes) and passes results to downstream steps. Refer to our RSS Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
Absolutely. RSS works with every trigger source and every app integration on WEXTL. Combine it with native app triggers, scheduled polling, or the Custom Webhook node so RSS can react to events from any external system.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes like RSS inside the workflow builder [4]. You can combine RSS with app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) to build the exact flow you need.
