Building a monitoring pipeline? You probably need scheduled notifications.
RSSFlux now has Automations — a simple notification scheduler that fires emails, webhooks, and chat messages on interval, daily, day-of-week, or one-shot schedules.
The payload template supports variables from your feeds ({feed_title}, {latest_item_title}, {item_count}), but you can also write plain text reminders completely independent of feeds.
Use cases I've seen this week:
• Daily email briefing at 7am — new items from all feeds
• Healthcheck POST to BetterUptime every 5 minutes
• One-shot Telegram reminder for meetings
• Weekly Discord report every Monday at 9am
• Hourly data push to a CRM webhook
Free tier gives you 2 actions. Hobby gets 5. Developer gets 25.

Built a scheduled notification engine for RSSFlux — thought this community would appreciate it.
It fires emails, webhooks, Discord, or Telegram on interval/daily/day-of-week/one-shot schedules. The template can use feed variables or just be plain text.
I use it for:
• Healthcheck ping every 5 minutes
• Daily morning email with new items from my monitoring feeds
• One-shot Telegram reminder before meetings
Free tier includes 2 actions. If you're already running feeds, this is a nice add-on.
