detail.loadingPreview
Stay updated with the latest n8n stable releases effortlessly. This workflow automatically fetches new releases from GitHub and sends a notification email, ensuring you're always informed about critical updates.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to keep you informed about the latest stable releases of n8n. It begins with a daily trigger, which then fetches the most recent release information from the official n8n GitHub repository. The release notes are extracted, converted from Markdown to HTML for better readability, and then sent directly to a specified email address using Gmail. This streamlined process ensures that you receive timely updates without manual intervention, allowing you to quickly leverage new features and improvements in your n8n instances. It's an essential tool for DevOps teams and individual users who rely on staying current with software updates.
