RSS Trigger [GOT CREATED]

We need an RSS Trigger, e.g. for Crunchyroll news and so on

Oh didn’t saw that I could use a rss reader … But anyway I think it would be better if it would be a trigger because then new users wouldn’t have any difficulties and can just use it simpler

Agreed Zapier has an RSS trigger that executes whenever news comes in - this is much nicer than running on a cron schedule

EDIT: Looks like @Jon created a community node - awesome! I’m happy to be a guinea pig on this one.

I did indeed make one, I have been using it to keep an eye on some software update feeds and the wtf1.com news feed :slight_smile:

Hi @Jon ,

I am using the n8n-nodes-rss-feed-trigger, everything works fine, but when I go to activate the workflow, I get the following error:

I am forgetting something?

Thanks in advance

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version: 0.214.0
  • Database you’re using (default: SQLite): SQLite
  • Running n8n with the execution process [own(default), main]: own
  • Running n8n via [Docker, npm, n8n.cloud, desktop app]: Docker

Hey @martinhache,

Can you try restarting your container and seeing if that helps?

Hey @jon, what do you mean by “restarting your container” ? I get the exact same error of @martinhache

Hey @comedepreville,

Welcome to the community :wave:t2:

Pretty much what it says, restart the container. This is assuming you are running in docker if you are using npm it would just be a case of restarting n8n.

Loud and clear. Thanks @Jon !

Hi @Jon,

Could it be that with the last update to 0.221.2 the n8n-nodes-rss-feed-trigger does not work correctly?

I have restarted the container and the parameter “pollTimes” does not appear in the node.

Hey @martinhache,

There was a change in 221.0 that stopped the poll times from being displayed, This should be resolved in the next release.

Perfect!

Thank you @Jon

like @Jon said, I restarted my container, after the installation of the plugin, and after the creation of the node but still have a problem when I try to activate the workflow

My setup is

  • n8n Version 0.221.2
  • RSS Feed Trigger v0.1.3

Workflow could not be activated:

  • There was a problem activating the workflow: “Could not get parameter “pollTimes”!”

it that package still maintained?

Hey @JOduMonT,

The fix is in 0.222.0 of n8n so you would need to do an update. As far as I know the package is still maintained, I have not made any updates for a while to is as it doesn’t need any. It looks like the message in your screenshot is an npm error and not related to the package.

Sorry I mixed up version semantic for once.

Thank you @Jon. This is awesome! Self hosting and using your rss trigger has saved me $$$.

Hi there, I am using the self-hosted version n8n 1.0.5 and the same issue happens again

Workflow could not be activated: There was a problem activating the workflow: “Could not get parameter “pollTimes”!”

What should i do?

Hey @tobywong080,

Try restarting your n8n instance again, I had to do it with my instance before it appeared again.
