Daily AI RSS News Digest with Google Gemini & Email

Get a clean daily AI digest of the latest RSS headlines—automatically emailed each morning

The Daily AI RSS News Digest with Google Gemini & Email n8n workflow checks your configured RSS feeds every morning, summarizes the last 24 hours using Google Gemini, and emails you an HTML briefing. It also reports success or failure to a Vivere heartbeat monitor so you always know what happened.

What this workflow does

• Runs daily at 07:00 and immediately sends a start ping to your Vivere heartbeat URL.
• Fetches multiple RSS feeds by splitting your feed list into individual URLs and continuing even if some feeds error or return no items.
• Filters headlines to your configured time window (last 24 hours), deduplicates, and caps the number of headlines to keep the briefing focused.
• Branches by outcome:
  • If headlines exist, it calls Google Gemini (Generative Language API) to generate an HTML email briefing using only the provided headlines.
  • If no new headlines are found—or if any step fails (feed, Gemini, or email)—it sends a failure ping.
• Emails the digest via SMTP and calculates estimated token usage and cost from Gemini’s usage metadata and your configured pricing.
• Reports results to Vivere: success includes item count, model, token counts, estimated cost, and a run log line; failure includes the reason and marks the execution as failed.

Use cases

• Daily briefings for industry updates from multiple RSS sources without manual scanning.
• Automation engineers and SaaS operators who need reliable scheduled reporting with monitoring.
• Teams that want an AI-generated HTML email digest tailored to a strict time window and capped inputs.
