Automated RSS Subscription Content Collection and Management Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow automatically and periodically reads RSS subscription links stored in Google Sheets, fetches the latest news or content items, extracts key information (such as title, link, publication date, content, and tags), and saves content published within the last 3 days back into Google Sheets. Simultaneously, it automatically cleans up outdated content (older than 3 days) from Google Sheets to maintain data freshness and tidiness. The entire process incorporates appropriate wait times to avoid Google API rate limiting.
Core Problems Addressed
- Automates bulk retrieval of multi-source RSS subscription content, reducing manual checking and updating efforts
