Create Motion tasks from new RSS Feed items

Connect

How this automation works

Create Motion tasks automatically from new RSS Feed items. The Applet runs whenever a new item appears in your RSS Feed and creates a task in Motion using the item's title and content. This is useful for queuing blog posts, news, or content updates for review or follow-up by integrating RSS Feed with Motion. Note: Paste your feed URL to get started.
