Status feed — RSS

Watch a vendor's status page RSS for new incidents (onlyNew remembers what it has seen across runs). Needs internet; swap the URL for any feed you care about.

What’s inside

3 nodes — every type links to its full reference page.

Step	Node	Type
Poll tick	Inject	`input.inject`
Read feed	RSS Read	`input.rss-read`
Feed items	Console	`utility.console`

Import it

Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/status-feed-rss.json).

Or ask the AI Copilot with the JSON pasted after the phrase:

import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Status feed — RSS"

Any credentials the nodes need are ${credential.…} references — add them once in Admin → Credentials and the template picks them up. Nothing secret ships in a template.
