import { Callout } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/callout'
import { Image } from '@/components/ui/image'

The RSS Feed block monitors RSS and Atom feeds – when new items are published, your workflow triggers automatically.

<div className="flex justify-center">
  <Image
    src="/static/blocks/rss.png"
    alt="RSS Feed Block"
    width={500}
    height={400}
    className="my-6"
  />
</div>

## Configuration

1. **Add RSS Feed Block** - Drag the RSS Feed block to start your workflow
2. **Enter Feed URL** - Paste the URL of any RSS or Atom feed
3. **Deploy** - Deploy your workflow to activate polling

Once deployed, the feed is checked every minute for new items.

## Output Fields

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `title` | string | Item title |
| `link` | string | Item link |
| `pubDate` | string | Publication date |
| `item` | object | Raw item with all fields |
| `feed` | object | Raw feed metadata |

Access mapped fields directly (`<rss.title>`) or use the raw objects for any field (`<rss.item.author>`, `<rss.feed.language>`).

## Use Cases

- **Content monitoring** - Track blogs, news sites, or competitor updates
- **Podcast automation** - Trigger workflows when new episodes drop
- **Release tracking** - Monitor GitHub releases, changelogs, or product updates
- **Social aggregation** - Collect content from platforms that expose RSS feeds

<Callout>
RSS triggers only fire for items published after you save the trigger. Existing feed items are not processed.
