I have setup an automation to check for new items in an RSS feed and then add pages to Notion for any new items. This is working well. However, I would only like this to happen once per day but the RSS polling step only shows 1-15 minutes polling interval.

@ajaffarali that’s because the way the RSS trigger works is by polling the designated feed URL for new posts, and then executing the configured actions whenever a new post is found in the feed. Regardless of the polling interval, what would be the benefit of having it run only daily instead of every ~minute? Either way, it’s creating one Notion page per feed item.

If you really do need it to run daily instead of more frequently, this currently isn’t supported by Zapier’s RSS tool, so you would likely need to set up a Zap with a Schedule trigger running daily, which can be set to daily, and then use another RSS app to poll the feed for new posts in the past day, and then set up a Loop step to add each new post to Notion. This would end up costing more tasks, since it would be one task to poll the feed each time it runs, in addition to the tasks consumed by adding the posts to Notion.


Hey ​@ajaffarali, just checking in! Did DennisWF’s reply here help to point you in the right direction?
