n8n Form to Advanced RSS Generator with Telegram Notification

This n8n workflow provides a powerful and flexible solution for generating custom RSS feeds based on user input from a web form. It allows you to define a YouTube channel, fetch its latest videos, and then create a tailored RSS feed. Additionally, it includes a mechanism to potentially notify a Telegram channel, although the Telegram integration is not fully configured in the provided JSON.

What it does

This workflow automates the following steps:

1. Receives Form Submissions: It acts as a listener for a web form where users can submit details, likely including a YouTube channel ID or URL.
2. Processes Input: It takes the submitted data and prepares it for further processing.
3. Fetches YouTube Data (Implicit): Although not explicitly shown with a YouTube node, the "HTTP Request" node is likely configured to make an API call to YouTube to fetch video data for the specified channel.
4. Transforms Data: It manipulates the fetched data to extract relevant information for the RSS feed.
5. Generates RSS Feed (Implicit): The "Code" node is expected to contain custom JavaScript logic to construct an RSS feed XML based on the processed YouTube video data.
6. Responds to Webhook: It sends back a response to the initial form submission, potentially including the generated RSS feed URL or a confirmation message.
7. Conditional Logic (Implicit): The "Switch" node suggests that there might be conditional logic to handle different scenarios or outputs based on the processed data.
8. Aggregates Data: The "Aggregate" node indicates that multiple data items might be combined or grouped at some point in the workflow.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n to host and execute the workflow.
• Web Form: A web form configured to send data to the n8n "On form submission" trigger.
• YouTube Data API Key (Implicit): If the "HTTP Request" node is indeed calling the YouTube Data API, you will need a YouTube Data API key.
• Telegram Bot Token and Chat ID (Optional/Implicit): If the workflow were to include Telegram notifications, you would need a Telegram Bot token and the chat ID of the channel or user to send messages to. (Note: The provided JSON does not include a Telegram node, but the directory name suggests this might be an intended feature).

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow:
   • Save the provided JSON content as a .json file.
   • In your n8n instance, go to "Workflows" and click "New".
   • Click the "Import from JSON" button and upload the saved JSON file.
2. Configure the "On form submission" Trigger:
   • Open the "On form submission" node.
   • Copy the "Webhook URL" provided by this node. This URL is where your external web form should send its data (e.g., via a POST request).
   • Define the expected fields in the "Form Fields" section if not already present, matching the data your form will send (e.g., youtubeChannelId, youtubeChannelName).
3. Configure the "HTTP Request" Node (if applicable):
   • If the "HTTP Request" node is used to fetch YouTube data, ensure its URL, headers, and body are correctly configured to interact with the YouTube Data API.
   • Add any necessary API keys as credentials in n8n and link them to this node.
4. Review and Customize "Edit Fields (Set)" and "Code" Nodes:
   • The "Edit Fields (Set)" node likely prepares data for the RSS feed or other actions. Adjust its fields as needed.
   • The "Code" node is crucial for generating the RSS feed. You will need to inspect and potentially modify the JavaScript code within this node to match your desired RSS feed structure and content.
5. Configure "Respond to Webhook":
   • Customize the response sent back to the form submission. This could be a simple success message, the generated RSS feed URL, or other relevant information.
6. Activate the Workflow:
   • Once configured, activate the workflow by toggling the "Active" switch in the top right corner of the workflow editor.

Now, whenever your external web form submits data to the n8n webhook URL, this workflow will execute, generate the RSS feed, and respond accordingly.
