RSS Trigger

Last updated 5 days ago

Was this helpful?

With the RSS trigger, you can start workflows when there are new items in an RSS feed.

RSS feed URLs

You'll need to specify what feed to monitor by using an RSS feed URL.

Many sites (YouTube, WordPress, Medium, and others) offer RSS feeds. You can often find the feed URL by looking for rss in the page source. If that doesn't work, a quick Google search for how to grab the RSS feed link from the site you need is likely the quickest way to find it!

RSS feed URLs for YouTube channels

To find the RSS feed URL for a YouTube channel, you need to enter the URL in this format (not the link of the channel page itself!):

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID

To find this link:

  • Open the YouTube channel page you want to monitor

  • Right click anywhere and click to view the page source

  • Search for "RSS" or "channel_id=" to find the RSS feed link

For example, for the Relay.app YouTube feed URL, it's:
