Quick overview

This workflow runs every morning, reads multiple RSS feeds, uses OpenAI to generate a plain-text daily digest from the latest items, and emails the summary via SMTP.

How it works

  1. Runs daily on a cron schedule.
  2. Splits a comma-separated list of RSS feed URLs into individual feed requests.
  3. Fetches the latest items from each RSS feed URL.
  4. Combines the retrieved items into a single text payload with titles, dates, links, and snippets.
  5. Uses OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini) to condense the combined items into a short, grouped daily digest while skipping ads or off-topic content.
  6. Sends the generated digest as a plain-text email with today’s date in the subject line.

Setup

  1. Add your OpenAI API credentials to the OpenAI Chat Model connection.
  2. Add SMTP email credentials in the email-sending step and set the From and To email addresses.
  3. Replace the placeholder RSS feed URLs with your own comma-separated list in the FeedUrls field.
  4. Adjust the daily cron schedule time (default: 07:00) to match when you want the digest delivered.
