πŸ“ˆ Daily Financial News - Description

This workflow automates the process of collecting, organizing, and delivering a daily summary of financial news by following these key steps:

  1. Scheduled Activation
    The workflow starts at 7:00 AM each day, triggered by the Schedule Trigger node.

  2. News Retrieval
    The HTTP Request node fetches the latest financial news from FT.com.

  3. Content Extraction
    The Extract Specific Content node scrapes targeted sections of the HTML (headlines, editor's picks, top stories, etc.) using CSS selectors to locate and capture relevant content.

  4. News Aggregation
    The Set Node gathers and organizes the extracted news data, preparing it for summarization. Categories like "Headline #1," "Editor's Picks," and "Europe News" are all structured into a single data block.

  5. Summarization
    An AI Agent (Google Gemini) takes the aggregated news data and creates a concise, HTML-formatted summary tailored to give investors an insightful market snapshot.

  6. Email Delivery
    Finally, the Microsoft Outlook node sends the summary via email to the designated recipient with the subject "Financial news from today."

This process ensures that financial news is efficiently curated, summarized, and delivered without manual intervention.
