Parallelized RSS feeds

• {{rss_step.output.items}} resolves to null (a bare field name on an array is invalid).
• {{rss_step.output.*.items}} plucks each variant’s items array and yields an array of arrays. The * wildcard does not flatten.
• To scrape every article across all feeds, add a Data Transform step with mode Flatten array and source {{rss_step.output.*.items}}, then set the Iteration iterator to {{flatten_step.output}}.

​

Example: summarize new feed articles

RSS Feed -> Iteration -> Website Scrape -> AI Prompt -> Aggregate/output

1. Add RSS Feed and set Feed URL to the direct feed URL.
2. Set Item Limit to the number of entries you want per run.
3. Leave New items only enabled for scheduled or repeated deployed runs.
4. Add Iteration and set Iterator to {{rss_step.output.items}} (single feed). For parallelized feeds, flatten first as described above.
5. Inside the iteration body, add Website Scrape and set URL to {{iteration_step.item.url}} using the Iteration step’s identifier.
6. Add an AI Prompt after the scrape step to summarize the article content.
7. Aggregate or return the summaries from the workflow output.

Notes

• RSS and Atom feed URLs are supported. Website feed discovery is not part of this step.
• The step normalizes relative item URLs to absolute URLs when the feed URL can be used as a base.
• Dedupe is lightweight seen-item suppression for repeated runs. It is not a feed history or replay interface.
• Article scraping and summarization are separate steps so you can control crawl settings, prompts, and aggregation explicitly.
