Convert Any Web Page URL to Markdown in n8n Chat with Gaffa

Turn any web page URL into clean Markdown—directly in n8n chat

This n8n chat workflow lets you paste a URL, uses the Gaffa community node to render the page, converts the result into clean Markdown, and returns the Markdown right in the n8n Chat response.

What this workflow does

• Receives your URL via an n8n Chat trigger.
• Loads the web page with Gaffa, renders it in a browser-like environment, and converts the page content into Markdown.
