Overview
Overview This workflow automatically collects the latest articles from Google News RSS feeds, cleans and deduplicates them, and stores them neatly in a Google Sheet. It runs on a set schedule (every Monday at 09:00 by default) and helps you build a fresh pool of content ideas for newsletters, blogs, or social media. What you can do with it 🔎 Research faster – pull in fresh articles from multiple RSS sources without manual searching. 🧼 Clean & normalize – extract the real article URL (instead of Google redirects), keep only the title, summary, and date. 🗑 No duplicates – filter out empty or repeated entries before they ever reach your sheet. 📊 Central storage – append all new, unique links into a Google Sheet for review or further automation. How it works Trigger – Cron starts the flow every Monday at 09:00 (you can change the schedule). RSS Read – Fetches articles from multiple Google News queries (e.g., “AI”, “AI Automation”). Merge – Combines all feed results into one list. Set (Clean URL) – Extracts the real URL, title, summary, and publication date. Filter – Ensures only items with a valid title and URL continue. Unique by URL – Removes duplicate articles across feeds. Google Sheets Append – Saves new links into your chosen Sheet for review and later use. Setup Instructions Import workflow into your n8n instance. Update RSS feeds: Replace the example Google News RSS URLs (AI, AI Automation) with your own queries. Format: https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=YOUR_QUERY&hl=de&gl=DE&ceid=DE:de Connect Google Sheets: Add your Google Sheets credentials. Select the documentId (the spreadsheet) and sheetName (the tab) in the Append new Links node. Recommended columns: date, title, url, summary. Adjust schedule: In the Trigger: Montag 09:00 node, change the cron expression to daily or multiple times per day if you want. Run test: Execute once manually. Check your sheet for the first rows. Tips & Extensions ✅ Add more RSS Read nodes for additional sources (blogs, media outlets, niche topics). ✅ Chain this workflow with an AI node (OpenAI/GPT) to automatically generate post ideas from the collected articles. ✅ Notify yourself in Slack/Telegram when new articles are added. ✅ Use a status column (Draft, Approved, Posted) to manage a simple content pipeline directly from the sheet. 👉 With this template you’ll never run out of content ideas – everything flows into one place, ready to inspire your next posts, newsletters, or campaigns.
