# RSS

## Configure

To configure a RSS trigger or action, you simply need to copy and paste the URL of the RSS feed that you would like to extract the content from into the Feed URL field of the step.

The content of the feed will be available as [variables](https://docs.getmesa.com/workflow-builder/fields/variables) via the variable selector in future steps.

## Technical Notes

* The RSS trigger is a [polling](https://docs.getmesa.com/workflow-builder/triggers#polling) trigger and will need to be configured according to a schedule that fits within your plan.
