Clean incoming RSS feeds and output to a channel

There are status pages such as

https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/en/feed.atom

https://status.slack.com/feed/rss

The problem is they may spam the channel or are poorly formatted. Moveworks could clean the RSS feed and make sure it doesn’t spam the channel. That could make RSS feeds reliable enough to put in channels with big audiences.

    Hey @tyler.thompson! I’d like to better understand the kind of cleaning you have in mind. 

    What kinds of cleaning tasks are you considering? Are you looking to filter based on values found within the RSS feed, or would there be more advanced data manipulation processes you have in mind?

    Are you looking to primarily clean/filter RSS feed data before it lands in some slack channel, or would this be something like a queries use case that an end user could ask “show me X feed” and returns a bunch of stories and articles supplied through the feed?

    Here is an example of Google status messages in a span of 1 minute which would be hard to use in a big channel. An overall summary would be nice or being able filter out key words.

    Ah, I think I’m starting to understand. Perhaps we could get this into knowledge ingestion in some way so that Copilot could create a summary. I can’t think of a way to get this into a channel, but this would be a possible solution for a user to ask “What’s going on in the Google RSS feed?” and get back a summarized overview of the article.

    For example, build an automation to put all RSS feed data into the Google FAQ sheet with title “Google RSS feed” or similar, then when a user asks for the data, it returns a summarized version.

    Let me know if I’m off the mark here.
