I’ve got a working scenario which takes an RSS feed and creates or updates Webflow CMS items based on whether the item exists or not. Everything in that scenario works as intended but I would like to find a way to also delete and CMS item that is no longer getting information from the RSS feed.
The scenario works by periodically calling the RSS feed and running through a data store get a record which checks to see if the URL and CMS Item ID exist. If they do, the item goes to the update branch. If the item doesn’t exist in the data store it gets sent to the create an item branch which also then adds the item to the data store.
How would I update this scenario to delete an item if it exists in the data store but is not coming from the RSS feed?

Thanks in advance for any help!
You’ll need to use the List RSS feed items module instead.
Your current trigger module only gets NEW RSS items.
Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hey @samliew thanks for the reply.
How would I set things up with a list RSS feed module in order to delete items that are no longer in the RSS?
The current Watch RSS module actually works in much the same way (in this instance) because whoever set up the RSS feed didn’t set a publish time for items so every time the feed is accessed it appears as though everything is new so every item is processed in the scenario. That’s also why it’s set to being on a timer and not to watch for new events.
Thanks again
