Hi,
I have am testing the Pabbly RSS action and have it setup to monitor my podcast RSS feed here:
It is finding recent episodes but the data is incomplete and malformed.
For example, even though the is clearly a "Description" element in the feed, and a pabbly reports a field by that name, the content in pabbly is empty.
There is also a "Content" field listed in Pabbbly. but there is no such field on the RSS feed.
In addition, there is a "Content Snippet" field show as being received by pabbly, but there is no such field in the feed, plus the data in the field is odd.
Attached is the RSS feed and what Pabbly is reporting is from it, side by side.
I tried the unchecking the "simple response" toggle, and gat the same result.

Please advise.
Thanks
brett

Hello @mindfulguy,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please try enlarging the specific fieldwhere the data is getting captured. Refer to the attached image for a better understanding.

Thanks, that's helpful, but strange why there is so much empty space before the decription
But where are the other fields? For example:

<podcast:transcript url="https://pds.cdnstream1.com/p/radicalcompany/the-mindful-coach-podcas-dc6b51/how-to-stop-saying-thing-ec696d/transcript" type="text/plain"/>

or
<itunes:subtitle>Cleanup on Aisle Three: the Craft of Being Lessing Reactive</itunes:subtitle>

Seems like there ought to be a 1:1 correspondence of fields to content.
