Latenode

Automatically Publish Google Drive Content to an RSS Feed

This template watches a Google Drive folder for new files and builds RSS in JavaScript. The trigger supplies file name, link, and modified time.

JavaScript maps those fields into RSS item XML or a full feed document. Google Drive saves the XML in the folder you choose. Connect Google Drive, then point the trigger at the folder you want to publish.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

What this template does

  • Publishes new Drive files as RSS without copying by hand
  • Starts when a file is added to the connected folder
  • Builds RSS in JavaScript from file name, link, and modified time
  • Stores the feed file in Google Drive

How it works

1
Trigger

Watch the Drive folder

The scenario starts when a new file appears in the Google Drive folder you choose.

2
Logic

Build the RSS XML

JavaScript maps file name, link, and modified time into RSS fields or a full feed document.

3
Action

Save the feed file

Google Drive writes the XML to the folder you set. Update the same file if you maintain one feed document instead of creating a new one each time.

Setup guide

1

Connect Google Drive

Add a Google Drive connection with access to the folder whose files should appear in the feed, and write access to the folder that will hold the feed file.

2

Point the trigger at the folder

Add a Google Drive trigger for new files and select the folder you drop content into.

3

Map JavaScript and Drive

Add JavaScript to build RSS XML from the file. Then create a Drive file from that text, or update an existing feed file. Choose the destination folder and filename. Test with one upload.

Requirements

A Google Drive folder Latenode can read
A Google Drive folder Latenode can write the feed file to
A filename and folder path for the RSS XML file
