Step 1 of 11
Create the workflow
Create a new workflow in n8n and name it after the feed you are following, so you can tell several of these apart later.
Checkpoint
An empty, named canvas.
Before you begin
Tick these off as you sort them. Stopping halfway to create an account is how a fifteen-minute build becomes an hour.
0 of 7 ready
Ticks are saved on this device, so you can come back to them.
- Have ready
Most blogs expose one at /feed or /rss.xml. Open it in a browser first — if you see XML, it works.
- Permission
You need the Manage Webhooks permission to create the incoming webhook this workflow posts through.
- Credential
In Discord: channel settings → Integrations → Webhooks → New Webhook → Copy Webhook URL.
- Time
This is the shortest walkthrough in the library and a good first automation.
The basics — ticked once, remembered everywhere
- Account
Either the hosted version or a self-hosted install. Everything here works the same on both — the only visible difference is the shape of your webhook URLs.
Create a workspace - Know-how
Adding a node, connecting two of them, and pressing Execute. If any of that is new, the free primer covers it in about ten minutes.
- Credential
You will paste at least one secret during setup. A password manager beats a notes app, and it stops you pasting a live key into a chat window by accident.
The shape of the workflow
The nodes you will end up with, left to right, in the order you add them.
4 things to set here- 1Create the workflow — the trigger — everything starts here
- 2RSS Feed Trigger — Add the RSS Feed Trigger
- 3RSS Feed Trigger — Fetch a test item
- 4Filter — Filter out older posts
Skip the node hunting
Import a starter file with every node for this build already on the canvas, named after its step and wired in order, each one carrying a sticky note with the values to enter. You still connect your own accounts and fill the fields — that is what the walkthrough takes you through — but you never start at a blank canvas.
In n8n: Workflows → Import from file.
What you will build
Jump straight to any step, or print the list and tick it off beside your n8n tab.
