hello,
I would like to know the component to be able to do this. I need to pull information from several RSS feeds and dump it into a google sheet. I have tried with the Iterator component but it does not extract the information.
Thanks
Hello @Sergio_Manzanero,
If you’re going to use Watch RSS Feed Items, that’s a trigger module so only 1 per Scenario will work.
You’d need to have a separate Scenario for each feed.
If you can keep track internally (using a Data Store, perhaps) of the date of the most recently-retrieve feed item, then you can use the RSS Retrieve RSS Feed Items modules inline, one for each feed. Follow each with an Array Aggregator then use the Google Sheets Bulk Add Rows (Advanced) module to update GSheets.
It might look something like this:
For tracking what has already been downloaded, you’d need to do something like end the scenario with storing the date of the most recently retrieved post from each feed, then begin the scenario by reading the last value stored so you can use that for retrieving your next set of posts.
Then that simplifies the scenario since now you can just loop all your feeds in the Data Store and only use one set of RSS and Array Aggregator modules. Something like this:

Thank you @Donald_Mitchell ,
the idea is to simplify it as much as possible to be able to complete it as needed, and not to complicate neither the scenario management nor the visual interface.
Hi Donald,
I’m sorry, but I don’t see the possibility…can you make a quick example with these two urls?
https://www.computerworld.es/feed/
https://revistabyte.es/feed/
only loads the site title and not the feed
II’m trying but it doesn’t run, it doesn’t save all the data, only the url from which it drinks, but not its content.
blueprint (2).json (25.4 KB)
the problem in your scenario is the Google Sheet Module you use. You are using “Add A Row”, but since all the RSS feed items are aggregated, you need to use the Google Sheets Module “Bulk Add Rows (Advanced)”
Hope this helps!
