Automate Your Daily News: Post Yesterday's RSS Feed Items to Slack
detail.loadingPreview
Never miss an update from your favorite RSS feeds. This workflow automatically pulls new posts from the past day and delivers them directly to your Slack channel every morning.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to streamline your content consumption by automatically monitoring RSS feeds and notifying you of new posts. Triggered every morning at 8 AM, it calculates yesterday's date, fetches new items from a specified RSS feed (defaulting to the n8n blog), and filters them to include only those published yesterday. The workflow then intelligently formats these items into a digestible message, including titles, links, and snippet descriptions, before sending a concise digest to a designated Slack channel. This ensures you stay informed without manual checking, boosting productivity and knowledge sharing.
Key Features
- Daily Automated Digest: Receive a summary of new RSS feed items every morning.
- Smart Date Filtering: Only retrieves posts published within the last 24 hours.
- Customizable Slack Notifications: Easily configure the target Slack channel and message format.
- Flexible RSS Integration: Works with any public RSS feed URL.
- Clear and Concise Messaging: Formatted for easy readability within Slack.
