Overview

This workflow runs once a week and fetches a trends or news RSS feed over HTTP. The first part of the feed goes to OpenAI, which proposes five ideas, each with a headline, an angle and a target keyword.

A Code node splits the reply into five items, and Notion creates one page per idea in your content database, with the angle and keyword in the body. You decide which ideas to write.

Useful for

  • Fill a content calendar with ideas grounded in what is trending in your field
  • Give writers a weekly list of angles without a brainstorm meeting
  • Build a backlog of keyword-led topics in Notion

What's included

  • An n8n workflow with 5 nodes, ready to import
  • Trigger: Every week
  • Connects HTTP, OpenAI, Notion
  • Sticky notes on the canvas that explain what to set up
  • No credentials inside: you connect your own accounts

Questions

Is this n8n workflow free?

The workflow is free. OpenAI and Notion usage follow their own plans in your accounts.

Does it include any credentials?

No. The file has no keys or tokens. You connect your own OpenAI and Notion accounts after importing.

Why does it limit the feed to the first 4000 characters?

It keeps the prompt short and the cost low. Raise the number in the expression if you want more context.
