Daily digest into chat
Collect a few things every morning and post one tidy message to Slack or Telegram.
We have not yet run this one on the version the starting point pins, so the deploy button below starts a blank instance. We are not going to offer you a one-click workflow we have not tested ourselves.
A schedule fires once a day, pulls whatever you point it at, formats one message and posts it. It is the workflow most people build first, because it is small, it is visibly useful, and it teaches you the three pieces everything else is made of: a trigger, a step that fetches, and a step that sends.
What it does
- A schedule trigger fires at the time you set.
- One or more steps fetch what you care about.
- A formatting step turns that into a readable message.
- The message is posted to your channel.
What you supply
- A Slack or Telegram bot, which takes about two minutes to create
Credentials are stored inside your own n8n, encrypted with a key that is generated and kept for you. We never see them and neither does anyone else.
Getting it running
Other starting points
- Blank canvas, an empty n8n, ready for whatever you already had in mind.
- Feed watcher, watch a feed and tell you when something new shows up, without checking it yourself.
- Form submissions into a table, catch a form submission and append it to a spreadsheet or a table you already use.
- An assistant on Telegram, a chat bot that answers with an ai model of your choosing and remembers the conversation.
