I created a setup that uses RSS Feed Trigger as a base, where every 5 minutes it checks if a page has posted any news. However, it’s not activating automatically. It should loop and retrieve the latest post every 5 minutes to continue my setup. However, it only runs if I click “execute workflow”. And yes, my workflow is published. Note: I’m running it in a Windows 11 VirtualBox.

Hi @slicedog Welcome!
Have you tried this with a schedule trigger? Like a Cron trigger to start the flow and a RSS feed node to get the feed? Does it shows the same behavior?
Yeah, didn’t worked
@slicedog Try using the Schedule trigger with custom Cron expression, that would work, make sure it is published.

Windows VirtualBox sleep kills RSS Trigger timers. In Settings > Polling, bump Timeout to 5min and pin the workflow. Fixed it for me on desktop VMs!
