Watch a feed for new posts
Like Read a feed, but remembers what it has seen: with Only new, each item comes once, so a schedule can post only new videos or articles.

In a flow
“When a button is clicked, watch a feed for new posts.”
Every 30 minutes → Read a feed (YouTube) → If New → Send: New video {node.f.title} {node.f.link}.
What it does
Like Read a feed, but remembers what it has seen: with Only new, each item comes once, so a schedule can post only new videos or articles. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 6 values later steps can use. Find it under Utility & web in the palette.
When to use it
Put it on a schedule (every 15 or 30 minutes) to post a YouTube channel's, blog's or news site's new items, each one once.
When not to
Each feed needs its own Name, so they remember their newest item separately. YouTube feeds are at youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=...
