Can Multiple Triggers for RSS Capture Without Priority?

Describe the problem/error/question

I have been getting a lot of issues with Make and starting to switch over my scenarios to n8n. One feature that is appealing is the fact that I can set up multiple triggers in a single Workflow. But maybe I’m reading this wrong?

I’m looking to pull RSS feeds from 5 different sources every 5 minutes (the same data is mapped as well: Title, URL, Date). I want n8n to check each feed and just push any new data into an Airtable account that I have set up ready to go.

When I’m running tests, it only seems to use the top RSS Trigger and so I can’t simulate if it’s going to grab each RSS as the data is updated or not.

Is this set up correct? Or do I need to create multiple workflows, similar to Make’s scenarios?

Thank you for your help

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Welcome to the community @thinkbrain :tada:

A workflow can contain multiple trigger nodes but with each execution, only one of them will execute depending on the triggering event.

Instead of having multiple triggers, you could loop through a list of RSS feed urls every 5 minutes using Loop Over Items node (previously called Split in Batches) like in this template here: Get data from multiple RSS feeds to Telegram | n8n workflow template

Hope these help and feel free to follow up with more specific questions for your usecase :star2:
