Automated RSS Feed Curation and Management
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your content consumption by automatically fetching, filtering, and organizing RSS feeds. This workflow ensures you only receive the latest relevant information, keeping your feeds fresh and manageable.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the process of managing RSS feeds, ensuring you stay updated with the most recent content. It begins with a schedule trigger, initiating a daily sweep of your linked RSS feeds. Each feed is meticulously scanned for new entries, and data such as the article's ID, title, content, publication date, and categories are extracted and standardized. A smart filtering mechanism then removes any content older than three days, ensuring you're always presented with timely information. For each relevant item, a brief Markdown summary is generated. Finally, the processed content is appended to a designated Google Sheets file, with built-in safeguards to prevent overwhelming the sheet and risking access blockage. This comprehensive approach guarantees a clean, up-to-date content feed without manual intervention.
Key Features
- Scheduled RSS Feed Updates: Automatically fetch new content from your RSS feeds at predefined intervals.
- Intelligent Content Filtering: Filters out articles older than a specified number of days (defaulting to 3) to ensure recency.
- Data Standardization: Extracts and formats key information (ID, title, content, publication date, tags) from RSS feed items.
- Markdown Generation: Creates concise Markdown summaries for each relevant content piece.
- Google Sheets Integration: Safely appends processed content to a Google Sheet, preventing rate limiting issues.
How To Use
- Configure the Schedule Trigger: Set the
Schedule Triggernode to run at your desired frequency (e.g., daily). - Input Your RSS Links: Ensure your RSS feed URLs are correctly provided in the
RSSnode (likely through a preceding node like Google Sheets). - Adjust Filtering Logic: Modify the
Codenode (7c7d0915-dfc2-4041-ae0f-6af6e008eab1) to change thesetdaysvariable if you need to filter content older than 3 days. - Customize Data Mapping: Review the
Edit Fieldsnode (07d78dcb-1a2d-45f4-b595-734e301c25ee) to adjust how data from the RSS feed is mapped to your desired output fields (e.g., 'id', 'title', 'output', 'pubDate', 'tags'). - Review Markdown Generation: The
Markdownnode (d5ac9f75-60a4-4bde-b4c1-ccb2f940d5f8) will generate HTML content. You can adjust thehtmlparameter to customize the output format. - Configure Google Sheets Output: Set up a Google Sheets node (not shown in this snippet but implied by the sticky notes) to receive the processed data, ensuring appropriate delays and error handling are in place, especially with the
Waitnodes (0065ce76-9840-48b2-860c-c4a2928479a8anded132a67-67fa-42e1-9f73-0b645005a332) to manage API rate limits.
