Below is a step-by-step walkthrough for creating a Make.com scenario that polls an RSS feed and forwards each new item to a webhook endpoint.
Prerequisites
Step 1: Create an RSS Feed with RSS.app
1. Copy the URL of any website, social media page, or other online source you want to track.
2. Paste the URL into our RSS Generator.
If the site is highly customizable or you just want more control over what to include in the feed, try using our RSS Builder.
3. Click Generate.
4. Your RSS feed should be ready within 20 seconds. Click Save to my Feeds to save it.
Use filters to customize the content that appears in your feed. You can exclude/include posts based on keywords, add custom text, replace text, etc.
Once the feed is generated and customized, copy the XML feed URL.
Step 2: Create a webhook URL in Make.com
Now that your XML feed URL is ready, it’s time to create a scenario in Make.com.
A scenario is an automation workflow that connects apps and performs actions based on triggers.
Log into Make.com.
Click Create a new scenario.
Name your scenario (e.g., "RSS webhook Automation").
In the scenario editor, click + to add a module. Search for webhook and select Custom Webhook.
Copy the unique URL generated by Make.com.
Step 3: Set up the webhook URL in RSS.app
1. Go to your Webhook Settings.
2. Enter the Webhook URL generated by Make.com.
3. Select the feed you created in Step 1.
4. Click Send Test to verify it works as expected. It will be saved automatically.
RSS.app will send HTTP POST requests to your provided webhook URL as soon as a new post is added to the feed.
Step 4: Add additional modules to scenario
1. Follow with any additional modules—e.g., “RSS > Parse Feed Entry” if you want Make to parse raw RSS, or “Slack”, “Email”, “Google Sheets”, etc.
2. Test and activate the scenario to run automatically.
Once activated, Make.com will wait for incoming webhook calls. Whenever your RSS-to-Webhook script triggers, Make runs the scenario.
