RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a powerful tool that allows you to gather news and updates from various websites and deliver them to other applications. In this article, we will explore how to utilize the RSS reader feature in Albato and delve into some practical use cases.

What is an RSS Feed?

RSS Feed is a web-based technology that allows users to subscribe to specific online content. Every time an update is made to the content, such as a new blog post or a news article, it's immediately delivered to the subscriber's RSS reader. This mechanism ensures that you remain up-to-date with the latest content from your preferred websites.

The RSS Feed is typically symbolized by the icon of an orange square with white radio waves. When a user clicks on this icon on a website, they're taken to the RSS feed of the site, where they can copy the feed URL to paste into their RSS reader.

What is RSS Reader?

An RSS reader, also known as a feed aggregator, is a tool that aggregates content from various RSS feeds into a single location for easy viewing. This eliminates the need for visiting multiple websites to access new content. Once you've subscribed to your preferred RSS feeds, the reader will automatically fetch the updates and display them in an easy-to-read format.

Setting up an Automation with RSS Reader

To get started, create a new automation in Albato and add the trigger with app: RSS Reader and event Get New Feed Entries. Then, click on Add a Connection to configure the RSS feed source.
