Hey there. I’m trying to use the “RSS by Zapier” zap with the “New Item in Feed” trigger combined with the “Web Parser by Zapier” zap and then use the “ChatGPT” zap with the “Conversation with Assistant” trigger to generate summaries of news items that are important to me.
Here’s the catch. The Google RSS Feed doesn’t actually contain the actual URL of the news article. It contains a Google.com URL that forwards to the actual URL of the article. For example, here is a screenshot of the fields the RSS by Zapier zap is pulling for a given news article…
Note the the “Link” field has this URL: https://www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa=t&url=https://www.wdtn.com/as-seen-on-2-news/dayton-childrens-reports-edible-ingestion-among-children-up-30/&ct=ga&cd=CAIyGjg0ZDVlNGEwNjA0Mjc1ZDA6Y29tOmVuOlVT&usg=AOvVaw0yfJ-c4Js48UeoNlVjIiQG which only resolves to the actual URL of the article (https://www.wdtn.com/as-seen-on-2-news/dayton-childrens-reports-edible-ingestion-among-children-up-30/) when you click on it.
And that is throwing the web parser so I get zero results from the parse:
Any thoughts on a workaround?? Many thanks.
