Hello! I'm a really new users of Node-Red, always wanted to try to selfhost my "automation" solution (instead of rely in Zapier, IFFTT and similars). Just installed it on my Pi 3b+ (with Rasp OS Lite 64 bits) and i'm trying to make a simple flow that checks periodically a RSS feed (managed to insta…

Hi @vico - node-red-node-feedparser (node) - Node-RED version 0.3.0 now has an option checkbox to ignore messages older than the start time.

[image] vico: It requires node v16 but the bash script available on the user guide of node-red website installs v14 You can rerun it with --node16 to perform the upgrade. Don't worry about breaking anything, it's very robust & we are always around to assist ( that's on top of the huge forum…

Thanks, i will try to update it asap. About the webhook thing, its feasible just using the built-in network nodes? Judging from the curl examples seems to be a POST request. Tried here with http request node but i didnt figured out how i can specify the JSON payload.

Yes. Perfectly feasible. The HTTP request node is what you need. Have a look at the built in examples (CTRL-I) and the cookbook on the node-red site.

[image] vico: Tried here with http request node but i didnt figured out how i can specify the JSON payload. The http node understands when you send a payload as an object and converts it into JSON. So simply create the necessary object using dot notation and send it.

I've been "playing" around with a http-request node in Node-RED to send commands to a Discord channel using webhook. Here a screen-shot of my experimental flow. [webhook] This is what I've put in one of the function nodes. [shutdown_discord_bot] And this is what's in the http-request node. [ht…

The only thing i wasn't able to make was output an arbitrary text (like [INFO] Webhook sent!) into the debug window. I tried appending the "Preparar Console" function node with the following settings: [image] [image] ...but it only gives me errors like (cant attach due to my account limitations …

you always have to return an object so return {payload: "[INFO] webhook enviado"}; [edit] nothing will be returned from On start only On message. Try node.send({payload:"string"}); or node.warn("the string message")

I did it, but now it doesn't return anything to the debug window. :frowning: Current settings of the debug node (renamed "console"): [image] EDIT: Oh i'm very sorry. I think i deactivated the debug node and didnt realized it. Now it works correctly, thanks. Now i will try to switch the Inject no…

Guys, now i reached another wall. Seems like feedparser node doesn't do (or allow to do) any checks about the time of the posts (at least in the first run). The only possible variables to this node is the URL of the feed and the interval to check for new items. [image] The logic that i'm attempti…
