Context

Hey! I’m Samir, a Supply Chain Engineer and Data Scientist from Paris, and the founder of LogiGreen Consulting.

We use AI, automation, and data to support sustainable business practices for small, medium and large companies.

I use this workflow to bring awareness about sustainability and promote my business by delivering automated daily news digests.

Promote your business with a fully automated newsletter powered by AI!

This n8n workflow scrapes articles from the official EU news website and sends a daily curated digest, highlighting only the most relevant sustainability news.
