Frequently Asked Questions about Gmail + RSS by Zapier integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Gmail and RSS by Zapier

How do I set up an integration between Gmail and RSS using Zapier?

To set up an integration between Gmail and RSS with Zapier, start by creating a new Zap. Set Gmail as the trigger app and choose a specific action, such as 'New Email Matching Search' which will initiate whenever a new email matching your specified criteria arrives. Then, select RSS as the action app and configure it to 'Create Item in Feed' which builds an RSS entry from the incoming data.

What are the common triggers when integrating Gmail with RSS Feed in Zapier?

Common triggers when integrating Gmail with an RSS Feed include 'New Email,' which triggers when a new email appears in the inbox, or 'New Labeled Email,' which is activated when an email is assigned a specific label. These events can automatically generate or update an item in your chosen RSS feed.

Can I customize which emails are sent to my RSS feed with the Gmail-RSS integration on Zapier?

Yes, you can customize which emails are sent to your RSS feed by setting up filters during the trigger step in creating your Zap. For instance, you can choose specific labels or search criteria within Gmail that determine what gets forwarded to your RSS feed.

Are there any limitations on the number of emails that can trigger updates to my RSS feed?

The number of emails that can trigger updates depends on your plan with us. Each plan has different task limits, so it's important to check these limits if you're planning on automating a high volume of email-to-RSS entries.

How often will my feeds update when using Zapier for integrating Gmail and RSS?

Feed updates depend on your pricing plan. On our Free plan, Zaps update every 15 minutes for single-step Zaps and every five minutes for multi-step Zaps if you're on one of our paid plans. This frequency ensures that any new emails in Gmail will be quickly reflected in your connected RSS feed.

Can I integrate multiple Gmail accounts into separate RSS feeds using Zapier?

Absolutely! You can create separate Zaps for each Gmail account you wish to integrate with different RSS feeds. Each Zap is configured independently, allowing you full control over how each account's emails are processed into its corresponding feed.

Is it possible to include email attachments in my RSS feeds using this integration?

While we support various data types through integrations, handling attachments requires additional steps. You'll need to ensure that your output format from Gmail can include links or data points representing these attachments as there is no direct attachment through basic integrated flows yet.
