1.1 Workflow description

Title
AI-Powered Vendor Policy & RSS Feed Analysis with Integrated Risk Scoring
Workflow name
AI-Powered Vendor Policy & RSS Feed Analysis with Integrated Risk Scoring

🧠 Overview

A dual-engine, AI-driven n8n workflow that automates the monitoring of both vendor policy webpages and compliance-related RSS feeds. It intelligently detects recent updates, evaluates their potential risk, and delivers a structured HTML digest categorized by severity — right to your inbox.


⚙️ How It Works

1️⃣ Scheduled Execution
⏰ Runs daily at 3 AM to ensure timely and consistent monitoring.

2️⃣ Dual Data Streams

  • 📰 RSS Feed Monitoring: Ingests articles from selected feeds focused on security, privacy, and compliance.
  • 🌐 Vendor Webpage Monitoring: Fetches specified policy URLs and checks for updates using Last-Modified headers and in-page content analysis.

3️⃣ Content Filtering
🧹 Applies logic to filter out stale or irrelevant data, focusing only on updates within the past 24 hours.

4️⃣ AI-Powered Risk Categorization
🤖 Two dedicated AI agents (one per stream) analyze content to:

  • 📝 Generate a 2-line compliance/risk-focused summary
  • 🚦 Assign a risk score: High, Medium, Low, or Informational

5️⃣ Digest Generation
🖼️ Summaries are grouped by risk level and formatted into a visually polished HTML report, using category-specific styles and color coding.

6️⃣ Email Delivery
📧 Automatically sends out two separate email reports via Gmail:

  • 🗂️ One for vendor webpage updates
  • 📰 One for RSS feed-based vendor news

✨ Key Features

  • 🔁 Automates daily monitoring across feeds and policy pages
  • 🤖 AI-driven summarization and structured risk scoring
  • 🧾 Clean, HTML-formatted digests grouped by risk category
  • 🧩 Fully customizable: feed sources, vendor URLs, AI prompts, and email styling
  • 🛡️ Designed for compliance, security, and risk teams needing proactive intelligence

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/5103/5103.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
