HR Weekly Radar

AI powered workflow that scans HR news via RSS, checks which of your policies or contract templates might need updates, and sends a weekly internal newsletter as HTML.

What this template is for

If you maintain an HR policy and template library, this helps you spot relevant changes faster and turn them into a small, actionable review list.

Good to know

  • This workflow fetches article pages and sends extracted text to LLMs
  • Respect the publisher’s terms and avoid redistributing full article text outside your organization
  • Cost and runtime depend on how many articles you process and how long the extracted text is

How it works

  • Weekly trigger starts the workflow
  • RSS feed read pulls new HR articles
  • Filter keeps only the last 7 days
  • Limit node caps processing to maxArticles
  • HTTP request fetches each article page
  • HTML extract + cleanup converts the article body to plain text
  • Google Drive node lists your policy and template file names
  • Merge combines each article with the document list
  • Reading agent evaluates relevance and suggests:
    • which documents to review or update
    • what change to consider
    • missing document ideas
  • Build report aggregates results across all articles
  • Summary agent writes a short, scannable HTML email
  • Gmail sends the newsletter to your chosen recipient

How to use

  • Add your RSS feed URL in the Workflow Configuration node (newsUrl)
  • Set your recipient email (userEmail)
  • Set your Google Drive folder id that contains policies and templates (templatesFolderId)
  • Connect credentials for:
    • Google Drive
    • LLM provider nodes
    • Gmail
  • Run once manually and verify the email formatting, then activate the workflow

Requirements

  • RSS feed URL with HR or compliance updates
  • Google Drive folder containing policy and template files
  • LLM credentials for:
    • per article analysis
    • newsletter drafting
  • Gmail account to send the email

Customising this workflow

  • Increase or decrease maxArticles to control cost and speed
  • Adjust the last 7 days filter if you want a different reporting window
  • Change the HTML extraction selector if your news source has a different page layout
  • Swap the final Gmail node for Slack, Teams, Notion, or Google Docs
  • Add a redaction step before the Reading Agent if you want to remove signatures or long quoted sections
