Workflow name
Generate daily top news digests from RSS feeds with Groq and Slack

How it works

This workflow runs every morning to collect news from multiple RSS feeds across global, business, finance, and tech categories. It processes and filters the most recent articles, then uses an AI model to select the most relevant global stories. The selected news is formatted into a clean digest. Finally, the digest is automatically delivered to a Slack channel.

Step-by-step

  • Trigger and setup feeds

  • Schedule Trigger – Runs the workflow daily at a fixed time.

  • Define News Categories – Stores all RSS feed URLs in one place.

  • Prepare RSS Feed List – Converts feed data into iterable items.

  • Fetch and process articles

  • Loop Through RSS Feeds – Iterates through each RSS source.

  • Fetch RSS Articles – Pulls articles from each feed.

  • Filter Latest 10 Articles – Sorts and keeps the most recent items.

  • Merge All RSS Articles – Combines all articles into one dataset.

  • AI selection and delivery

  • AI Select Top Global News – Uses AI to pick the most important stories.

  • Groq Chat Model – Provides the language model for analysis.

  • Format News For Slack Message – Structures AI output into clean messages.

  • (Sub-node) JSON Extraction Logic – Parses AI response into usable article data.

  • Post News Digest to Slack – Sends the final formatted digest to Slack.

Why use this?

  • Automates end-to-end news aggregation and summarization
  • Filters noise and highlights only high-impact global stories
  • Keeps teams informed directly within Slack
  • Reduces manual effort in tracking multiple news sources
  • Easily scalable by adding more RSS feeds or categories

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/14150/14150.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.
