This automation scenario allows you to connect RSS and Google Docs
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated bots using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.

RSS and Google Docs can also be integrated using automation tools other than ifttt:
When this trigger fires in RSS
This Trigger fires every time a new item in the feed you specify contains a particular keyword or simple phrase.

Then set up an Action for Google Docs
Choose this action: Create a document (This action will create a new Google document at the path you specify.).
Part III
Finally, we need to test this automation and publish it.
Customize data flow
Configure the data that is exchanged between RSS and Google Docs.
Test the workflow and turn it on for production use
Test your scenario and publish to production. Now you have an automatic workflow, that will If RSS then DRIVE!
