Automate Baserow Release Updates with RSS Feed Generation
detail.loadingPreview
This workflow automates the creation of an RSS feed for Baserow's release blog posts. It fetches content from Baserow's website, extracts key information, and structures it into a standard RSS format, ready to be consumed by any RSS reader.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to provide real-time updates on Baserow's product releases by generating a dynamic RSS feed. It begins by setting the base domain for Baserow's website. Upon execution, it fetches the blog content from the 'release' category. The workflow then intelligently extracts individual blog post summaries, titles, links, and publication dates using CSS selectors. Each extracted post is then processed to format its date and construct a complete, absolute URL. Finally, all formatted posts are compiled into a well-structured XML RSS feed, which is then made available via a webhook for easy integration into any RSS reader or aggregation service. This ensures you never miss a Baserow update.
Key Features
- Automated RSS Feed Generation: Creates a dynamic RSS feed of Baserow's release blog posts.
- Website Content Scraping: Fetches and parses HTML content from Baserow's blog.
- Data Extraction: Extracts essential post details like title, link, date, and description using CSS selectors.

How To Use
- Trigger Setup: The workflow is initiated via a webhook (path:
baserow-releases) or by manually clicking 'execute' in n8n. - Base URL Configuration: The 'Set URL' node defines
https://baserow.ioas the base domain. - Website Fetching: The 'Fetch Website' node retrieves the HTML content from
https://baserow.io/blog/category/release. - Post Extraction: The 'Extract Posts' node uses CSS selectors (
.blog-listing__post-content) to isolate each blog post's main content. - Item List Creation: The 'Item Lists' node splits the extracted posts into individual items for further processing.
- Field Extraction: The 'Extract Fields' node targets specific elements within each post using CSS selectors to get the
date,title,link, anddescription. - Link Completion: The 'Complete Link' node constructs the full URL for each blog post.
- Date Formatting: The 'Format Date' node standardizes the extracted date to
YYYY-MM-DDformat. - RSS Item Creation: The 'Create RSS Items' node generates an XML
<item>structure for each post, including title, link, description, and formatted date. - Response Preparation: The 'Prepare Response' node compiles all individual RSS items into a complete RSS 2.0 feed XML document.
- Webhook Response: The 'Respond to Webhook' node sends the generated XML RSS feed as the response to the webhook trigger with the
content-typeset toapplication/xml.
