How are you getting the RSS feed data though? How do you envision them to be integrated into an action?

great question! some context: I’m building an app where the user can insert a podcast RSS feed and I will convert it into text for them.

The RSS feed will be inserted through a form directly into one of my glide tables. Is there any way to avoid using make to show the list the episodes in a page in glide?

Once all episodes are listed, the user will be able to select X number of them and convert the audio to text.

hope this makes sense, thanks!

If you do it this way, how do you refresh the data everyday? I’m thinking it’s very heavy on updates if you want it to scale, but I can’t think of another way.

Hello, thanks again, and sorry because I did not explained myself properly.

This is the user flow:  
User logs in \> gets to a “request page” which has an input field \> user inserts the RSS feed \> user goes to a new page “list page” where I show the RSS feed in a list \> User selects one/various episodes of the feed in that same page \> User goes to another page to get the result of the treated data.

Basically my issue is how to shoe the rss feed in that “list page”. I do not want to keep it in a database, just show it and then pass to the next page.

does it make sense?

thanks!

I’m not sure I understand the “episodes of the feed in that same page” part. How are you pulling this back after you receive the request? Can you give us some screenshots?

When users submit a form, shouldn’t it write to your database already?

thanks for your help, however I took another approach given the difficulty. I am using [make.com](http://make.com) to fetch the RSS data and show it in one page. thanks!
