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.
