Feed watcher
Watch a feed and tell you when something new shows up, without checking it yourself.
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.
Polls a feed on a schedule, remembers what it has already seen, and notifies you only about items that are genuinely new. The remembering is the part people get wrong when they build this by hand, and it is the part the starting workflow gets right.
What it does
- A schedule trigger polls the feed.
- New items are separated from ones already seen.
- Each new item is turned into a short message.
- The message goes to your channel.
What you supply
- Somewhere to be notified, so a Slack, Telegram or email account
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.
- Daily digest into chat, collect a few things every morning and post one tidy message to slack or telegram.
- 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.
