A Data Feed is useful if you want to use your Podio data in 3rd party applications.

Data feeds in Workflow Automation come in 3 different formats;

XML
JSON
Serialized array

To create a Data Feed, click on Add New to display the drop-down menu. Select New Feed from the menu.

ACTION USAGE

Every time your Data Feed is accessed, it will count as one (1) action towards your action limits. Be sure that the 3rd party application you are using your Data Feed in, is not refreshing too often or you may exceed your hourly action limit quickly.

Warning: In order to allow various 3rd party applications to access your Data Feed, the Data Feed itself will need to be publicly accessible. If your data has sensitive information, it is highly recommended that you do not share the URL of your Data Feed with anyone, or else your data may become compromised. You should also take precautions as some 3rd party applications may reveal the URL of your Data Feed insecurely. It is best to check first the security behind the 3rd party application you will be using.
