Create an automation rule: trigger, conditions and actions. Pro plan.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/inoreader/rules
write Confirm
Creates a rule in the Automate tab. Scope sets the trigger (account, feed, folder or tag), conditions match on title and/or content, author, URL, language or RSS category and are joined with any (OR) or all (AND), and actions can assign a tag, save to Read later, mark as read, send by email, notify or call a webhook. Rules need the Pro plan and count against its 30 rules. Email and webhook actions reach other people and services. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
