detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly share the latest articles from your favorite RSS feeds directly to your Slack channel. This workflow leverages Google Sheets to manage your feeds and track published content, ensuring no duplicate posts.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to streamline your content curation and distribution process. It automatically monitors your specified RSS feeds, identifies new articles, and posts them to a designated Slack channel. To prevent redundant sharing, the workflow intelligently checks a Google Sheet that logs all previously posted articles. If an article is new, it's published to Slack and then added to your tracking sheet. The entire process is triggered on a schedule, making it ideal for maintaining an up-to-date internal news feed or for creating automated content digests.
Key components include:
- Scheduled Trigger: Runs automatically at a set time each day.
- RSS Feed Reading: Fetches content from multiple RSS feeds.
- Google Sheets Integration: Reads feed URLs and logs posted articles, preventing duplicates.
- Content Filtering: Ensures only new articles are shared.
- Slack Notifications: Delivers formatted article updates directly to your team.
