Automated AI-Powered RSS Digest (n8n Workflow)

This project is an automated RSS aggregation and AI-generated cyber threat intel newsletter system built using n8n. It collects articles from multiple RSS feeds, sorts and filters them by date, summarizes the key stories using an AI model, and emails you a clean daily report — all on a scheduled timer. The purpose of this project is to incorporate the most up-to-date cyber threat intelligence into everyday operations.

Features

1. Multi-Feed RSS Aggregation

• Pulls from multiple RSS feeds.
• Normalizes and combines all items into a single list.
• Deduplicates automatically (optional depending on your feeds).

2. Time-Based Filtering (Last 3 Days)

• Only keeps articles published within the last 72 hours.
• If no recent items exist, the workflow still outputs one safe fallback item so the flow never breaks.

3. AI Summarization + Priority Extraction

• Feeds the combined article list into an AI model.
• The model:
  • Summarizes the overall news landscape.
  • Highlights the most important stories.
  • Removes noise and low-value content.
  • Produces a clean, readable report.

4. Automatic Email Report

• Formats the AI-generated summary into an email.
• Sends the report to your inbox.
• Runs without manual action thanks to a scheduled trigger.

How It Works (Workflow Overview)

1. Scheduled Trigger – triggers the workflow on your schedule.
2. HTTP Request Nodes – fetch RSS feeds from multiple sources.
3. RSS → JSON Parsing – converts XML into structured items.
4. Function Node (Combine + Sort + Filter)
   • Merges all feeds
   • Filters last 3 days
   • Sorts by date
   • Ensures fallback if no items
5. AI Model Node – summarizes and extracts key stories.
6. Email Node – sends the finished digest.
