+Feedreader events can be used out of the box to trigger automation actions, e.g.:
+
+```yaml
+automation:
+  - alias: Trigger action when new element(s) in RSS feed
+    trigger:
+      platform: event
+      event_type: feedreader
+    action:
+      service: script.turn_on
+      entity_id: script.my_action
+```
+
+For more advanced use cases, a custom component registering to the `feedreader` event type could be used instead:
+
+```python
+EVENT_FEEDREADER = "feedreader"
+hass.bus.listen(EVENT_FEEDREADER, event_listener)
+```
+
+To get started developing custom components, please refer to the [developers](/developers) documentation
