Ash,

Thank you

Thank you, really

Hi @IwanGlain Your flow reads the RSS and adds it to the sheet. As per my understanding, RSS usually has the description (short version) of the article but not all of it.

If I’m correct, this means if you MUST get the full article, you’ll need to fetch the URL with an HTTP step, parse it to get the raw text content from it and add it to the sheet. This is a non-trivial task and if you’re not technical enough you’ll run into many issues.

The biggest issue is to know how to find the content and convert it to text, especially if the source of news is variable not a fixed website with a fixed layout. Even if you do it for that website, if it changes in the future your flow will break.
