Is it possible download a mp3 file when new RSS feed is provided

if-this-then-thatrss

I want to download a mp3 file when a new podcast is provided from here.

I used this IFTTT receipt by changing feed URL. But I only get an HTML file in my Dropbox folder that links to the last episode from the RSS.

Is there a way to save the mp3 file when new a feed is published with IFTTT?

I also wanted to do that, and ended up using Zapier to get the .mp3 file link, and then send it to IFTTT via webhook to continue from there.

For that, you'll need to add from the Zap you're creating the values [1] you want to pass to the webhook (up to three).

General steps:

IFTTT

  1. Create an applet from the webhooks trigger.
  2. Use one of the webhook values to continue your applet and trigger your action.

Zapier

  1. Create a Zap with the RSS trigger
  2. Select New Item in Feed
  3. Select the Webhooks action with the POST method
  4. In the Edit Template, select the field containing your .mp3 link and set it to one of data the fields, with a name matching the one you chose in the IFTTT recipe (i.e value1/value2/value3).
