1.Pull new item details
Integrate RSS by Zapier to pull title, description, publication date, and GUID for each new feed item and pass it forward.
Create content records from new RSS feed items
Automatically pull new item details from RSS feeds across Zapier and Airtable. Create and update photo group and content records when new feed item arrives, item GUID appears, or publication timestamp updatesβso you can extract captions, map media groups, and throttle processing without manual publishing.
How this automation prepares your content queue
When new RSS items arrive, publishing can stall while captions and media links get assembled by hand. This automation pulls feed data, extracts the first-line caption, waits when needed, and creates or updates Airtable recordsβso your team can review faster.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
We've been able to scale our operations while staying lean. Zapier lets us do more without needing more people.
