Connect RSS by Zapier and OpsGenie to unlock the power of automation

To set up an RSS by Zapier trigger in OpsGenie, you need to start by creating a new Zap and selecting 'RSS by Zapier' as the trigger app. Choose 'New Item in Feed' as the trigger event, enter the URL of the RSS feed you want to monitor, and set it to poll for new items. Next, add OpsGenie as the action app and select an action such as 'Create Alert.' You can then customize how the new feed item details map to the alert fields in OpsGenie.

Yes, you can filter RSS feed items before they create alerts in OpsGenie. Within your Zap configuration, use filters provided by Zapier to only pass through items that meet certain criteria (e.g., specific keywords or authors). This allows more precise control over which feed updates trigger actions in OpsGenie.

When an RSS feed is updated, several types of actions can be triggered in OpsGenie through our platform. For example, you can create a new alert with custom message content based on the RSS item. Other possible actions include adding notes to existing alerts or escalating issues to specific teams or schedules based on predefined rules.

While our current integration setup does not directly support attachments being carried over from an RSS feed into an OpsGenie alert, you can include links or reference URLs within the alert's message content. This provides a pointer for users to access external resources if needed.

The frequency at which our integration checks for new updates depends on your specific plan with us. Generally speaking, free accounts will have their feeds checked less frequently compared to premium accounts which enjoy quicker polling intervals. Please refer to your account settings for specific timings.

If your integration isn't functioning as expected, first check both your Zap configuration settings and ensure triggers/actions are correctly configured between RSS by Zapier and OpsGenie. Verify all necessary permissions and tokens are active and correct. Subsequently consider consulting our support documentation or reach out directly through support channels for complex troubleshooting queries.

There are a few limitations that users may encounter when using this integration—such as restrictions on polling frequency depending upon subscription levels and limitations surrounding data transformation directly within each tool's predefined constraints. However, many settings can still be customized extensively outside these restrictions through creative configurations.
