Official Page

  • Pulls free business and economic headlines from multiple publicly available RSS feeds (e.g., Reuters, Wall Street Journal, Federal Reserve, St. Louis Fed, BNP Paribas, WTO).

  • De-duplicates stories, keeps only the last 24 hours, and limits to a manageable number.

  • Uses OpenAI to generate a concise market brief with sections and "Why it matters."

  • Sends a clean HTML email via Gmail.

Category: Business / Economics / News
Time to set up: ~10--15 minutes
Difficulty: Beginner--Intermediate
Cost: Free (except minimal OpenAI tokens if summarization is used)

What you'll need

  • n8n (recent version)

  • OpenAI credentials (for summaries, optional if you want raw feeds only)

  • Gmail (or SMTP) credentials

  • A few free RSS feed URLs (swap in/out as you like)

Set up steps

  • Trigger -- Add a Cron to run daily (pick your time and timezone).

  • Fetch -- Add one RSS Read node per source and connect all to a Merge (append).

  • De-duplicate (this run) -- Add Remove Duplicates and compare on a stable key (prefer the article URL).

  • Freshness -- Add an IF to pass only items published in the last 24 hours.

  • Limit -- Add Limit to cap the total items (e.g., 25).

  • Summarize -- Add OpenAI → Message a model to produce a JSON brief with subject + HTML body.

  • Email -- Add Gmail → Send to deliver the brief to your inbox.

Tips & troubleshooting

  • If everything gets discarded at de-dup while testing, switch to "within current input" or reset the node's stored values.

  • If no items pass the IF, widen the date window temporarily (some feeds publish late).

  • If the email arrives blank, ensure Gmail email type is set to HTML and the subject/body fields map to the model's output.

Free sources you can start with (swap freely)

  • Yahoo News
  • Financial Times
