The RSS event trigger is able to watch a remote RSS feed for changes.  Based on content on certain parts of the feed item you can Trigger the Job.

Note: As for all event triggers we recommend that you set "Put Job in queue" in the man settings of the Job. This will force VisualCron to process one item at a time. For example, if you let your RSS Trigger check every 60 seconds and two new items has been added since last check - then VisualCron will Trigger twice. In order to be able to use Variables from the Trigger correctly "Put Job in queue" needs to be set otherwise a mixup of Variables is possible.
