New Item in Feed fails to detect new posts.

S

I am trying to create a bot that will detect new posts on Twitter and post them to Discord.
I have created Rss by Zapier and set the feed URL correctly.
When I press Test Trigger, the Twitter post is detected properly.

However, after launching Zap, a new post on Twitter does not trigger the above flow.
(It's been 30 minutes and no new posts have been detected.)

I thought it was strange, so I interrupted Zap and pressed “Find new records” and the new post appeared as a new feed item.

How can I get “Find new records” to start automatically and detect new posts?

Hi @seto 

Help links for using RSS in Zaps: https://zapier.com/apps/rss/help

 

This may also apply to Twitter.

When the Zap is turned ON, the RSS may be blocked, yet may work in EDIT mode like you’ve experienced.

 

My RSS feed from Craigslist isn't working

Unfortunately, Craigslist blocks connections to their RSS feed from servers like the ones that Zapier uses, so we won't be able to access Craigslist RSS feeds in a zap.
