RSS Content Digest to Slack
Every 6 hours, this automation checks your (or a competitor's) RSS feed for new posts and drops a formatted announcement into Slack — perfect for keeping your team or community in the loop on new content without anyone manually checking or copy-pasting links.
Automation flow
Every 6 Hours
A schedule trigger checks the feed regularly.
Read RSS Feed
Your blog, YouTube, or podcast feed is fetched.
Only New Items
Only posts published in this window are kept.
Post to Slack
A formatted announcement with title and link is posted.
How it works
Every 6 hours, the workflow reads your RSS feed and keeps only items published in that window (so nothing gets posted twice), then drops a formatted message into Slack with the title and link.
