  1. 1

    Add the RSS Feed Read Trigger node

    Start with a RSS Feed Read Trigger node — paste the feed URL into the Feed URL field and set a polling interval (e.g. every 15 minutes). The node emits each new item once. This fires the workflow the moment a new feed item arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: title to {{ $json.title }}, link to {{ $json.link }}, and published to {{ $json.isoDate }}. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use.

  3. 3

    Send it to Trello

    Add a Trello node set to operation Create a card. Connect your Trello account, choose the Board and List, and set the card Name and Description from the Set-node fields.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test feed item in RSS, then confirm it appears in Trello. Once it works, you're done — every new feed item now flows through automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any coding skills to set this up?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your RSS and Trello accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.

What happens if my n8n workflow is off when a feed item comes in?

It depends on the source. Services like Stripe, Shopify and HubSpot retry webhook deliveries for a period, so events are processed once the workflow is back on. For the most reliable capture, run this on n8n Cloud (always online) or keep your self-hosted instance up.

Can I send each feed item to more than one place at once?

Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same feed item lands in Trello and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
