Graceful Content Sparks — RSS → Notion (n8n)

A calm, daily ideas brief for busy creators ✨ Pulls multiple RSS feeds, de-dupes the noise, adds short “Angles” you can use right away, and sends a gentle email digest. (Optional) save each idea to a Notion Content Ideas database. Automate with grace. Scale with power. 💌

What it does

📰 Reads your chosen *RSS** feeds (one URL per line)

✂️ De-duplicates and turns headlines into short, action-ready *Angles**

💌 Sends a single, soothing *email digest** each morning

🗒️ (Optional)* Creates Notion pages per idea (Title, Source, URL, Angle, Status)

🔔 (Optional)* Telegram “sent” ping

* 🛟 Error path emails the owner if anything fails

Flow (nodes)

Manual Trigger / Cron → Set: User Config → Function (Build URL Items) → RSS Feed Read → Function (Collect & Angle) → Function (Trim to limit) → Function (Build Email) → Email Send → If (Notion enabled?) → Notion: Create Page → If (Telegram enabled?) → Telegram: Notify → Error Trigger → Email Owner

Prerequisites

* Email credentials (SMTP or Gmail)

* (Optional) Notion DB Content Ideas with properties: Title (title), Source (rich text/text), URL (url), Angle (rich text), Status (select)

* (Optional) Telegram bot + chat ID

Credentials used

Email (SMTP/Gmail) • (Optional) Notion • (Optional) Telegram

Configuration (Set: User Config)

```

FROM_EMAIL = your sender address

EMAIL_TO_SELF = where the digest goes

ENABLE_EMAIL = true|false

ENABLE_NOTION = true|false

NOTION_DB_ID = (if Notion enabled)

FEED_URLS = one RSS URL per line

IDEAS_LIMIT = 10 (default)

ENABLE_TELEGRAM = true|false

TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID = (if Telegram enabled)

```

Schedule

⏰ Cron default: *09:00** (Asia/Ho\_Chi\_Minh). Adjust time/timezone as needed.

How to test (60-second check)

1. Paste 2–3 public RSS URLs into FEED\_URLS (one per line).

2. Manual Trigger → confirm the digest email arrives.

3. Toggle ENABLE\_NOTION=true + set NOTION\_DB\_ID → run again → confirm pages created.

4. Enable Cron for daily use.

Compliance & notes

* ✅ Submission stickies included (README, Prereqs, Setup, Testing, Compliance)

* ✅ No secrets in JSON (use Credentials)

* ✅ Timezone-aware Cron

* ✅ Graceful failure: if a feed is down, others still produce a digest; the error path emails the owner

Motto

Automate with grace. Scale with power. ✨
