RSS feeds are the easiest way to stop manually checking websites for new posts, and n8n makes it stupid simple to automate. In this video, I walk through both the RSS Read node and the RSS Feed Trigger, and we build a real workflow that pulls new posts from the OpenAI blog and the Microsoft Research blog, then turns them into a clean email newsletter. The key pain point is always the same: finding the RSS URL. I show how I do it (Google first, then Perplexity, and if that fails I’ll ask Claude or ChatGPT to locate the feed). From there, we build it like an actual production workflow: limit the feed items (so you don’t pull 700+ posts), standardize fields with Edit Fields (title/content/link), and use a Merge node on “append” so multiple sources stack cleanly. Then I use a Summarize step to concatenate everything into one item before sending it into an AI agent prompt that outputs HTML. I preview the HTML inside n8n, then send it via email. Finally, I show the RSS Feed Trigger use case: when a feed updates, it kicks off a workflow automatically. In my example, it appends the latest post (title/link/publish date) into Google Sheets—just make sure your workflow is published/active, or the trigger won’t run.
