# Rss

> Start a workflow automatically when a configured feed publishes a new entry.

The **RSS Feed** trigger is for always-on workflows that should watch a feed and send new entries into the rest of your workflow. Use it for podcast feeds, blog feeds, or any supported RSS or Atom source. If you want to run one media file by hand, use **Manual Trigger** instead.

<Info>
  ### Schema

  * **Input**: An RSS feed URL
  * **Output**: The new feed entry that starts the workflow
</Info>

## Add the node

Open **Workflows** from the left sidebar and click **New** to open the workflow builder.

In the **Trigger** stage, choose **RSS Feed**. Overlap adds the trigger node to the canvas, selects it, and moves the left panel forward to **Editing** so you can continue building the workflow.

Click the **RSS Feed** node on the canvas whenever you need to reopen its settings on the right side.

## Configure the feed

In the right-side settings panel, fill in **RSS Feed URL**.

The field accepts:

* RSS 2.0 feeds, such as `.rss` or `.xml` URLs
* Atom feeds, such as `.atom` URLs
* podcast feeds from services like Spotify or Anchor
* blog feeds from services like WordPress or Medium

Overlap verifies that the URL contains valid RSS content before the workflow can listen for new entries.

## Build the rest of the workflow

After the trigger is configured, continue in **Editing** with nodes such as [Find Clips](/nodes/findclips), [Add Subtitles](/nodes/subtitles), [Reframe](/nodes/reframe), or [Audiogram](/nodes/audiogram). Finish with an export node, then click **Publish** when the workflow is ready to listen for new feed entries.
