If you want to send RSS feed updates directly into Airtable using a webhook, you can connect your RSS feed in RSS.app to an Airtable Automation. Airtable will receive each new RSS post as soon as it is published and create a new record in your base.

Prerequisites

An RSS.app account
An n8n account
An Airtable account

Step 1: Create an RSS feed with RSS.app

1. Go to RSS Generator.

2. Paste the URL of the content you want to turn into a feed (e.g. a Twitter profile, subreddit, or blog).

3. Click Generate.

4. Once your feed is ready, click Save to My Feeds.

You can translate the feed, apply filters, or create multiple feeds and combine them into a single stream using our Bundles feature.

Step 2: Set up a webhook in Airtable

1. Open your Airtable base.

2. Go to Automations.

3. Click Create new > New automation.

4. Click + Add trigger.

5. Select When a webhook is received.

6. Copy the unique URL provided by Airtable.

Step 3: Connect RSS.app to Airtable

1. In RSS.app, click your profile picture in the top-right and select Webhooks.

2. Paste the webhook URL you copied from Airtable and click Add Webhook.

3. Select the feed you want to send to Airtable (if you don’t select one, updates from all feeds will be sent).

4. Click the three dots next to the selected feed and toggle Apply Filters to make sure your RSS filters are applied to webhook data.

5. Click Send Test.

You should see a 200 status in RSS.app, and the output in Airtable should fill with sample feed data.

Step 4: Add the “Create Record” action

1. Click + Add advanced logic or action.

2. Select Create record.

3. Choose the table where you want to store RSS updates.

4. Click + Choose field and map each Airtable column to the appropriate field from the webhook payload (stored under body > data > items_new).

This ensures each new RSS post will be stored with the correct structure.

Step 5: Preview and test

1. Click Generate a preview to see how the RSS post will look within your test record. A pop-up will show all fields from your test record.

2. Then click Test automation and click Run automation.

Airtable will execute the full workflow, and the AI summary should appear in the correct field of your database.

Step 6: Turn the automation on

If everything looks correct, switch Automation: Off to On.

Going forward, each time your RSS feed is updated, RSS.app will send the data to your webhook, and Airtable will create a new record in your table.
