FT.com Daily Market News to Microsoft Outlook (n8n Workflow)

Get a daily FT.com market news briefing in your Microsoft Outlook inbox—automatically

This n8n workflow pulls the latest financial news from FT.com every morning, extracts the most relevant sections, summarizes them with Google Gemini, and sends an easy-to-read HTML brief directly to Microsoft Outlook.

What this workflow does

• Runs on schedule: The workflow is triggered every day at 7:00 AM via the Schedule Trigger node.
• Fetches current news: An HTTP Request node retrieves the latest content from https://www.ft.com/.
• Extracts targeted sections: An Extract Specific Content step scrapes selected HTML areas (e.g., headlines, editor’s picks, top stories) using CSS selectors.
• Aggregates into a structured dataset: A Set node organizes the extracted items into a single block (for categories such as “Headline #1”, “Editor’s Picks”, and “Europe News”).
• Creates a concise summary: An AI Agent powered by Google Gemini turns the aggregated news into a concise, HTML-formatted investor-style market snapshot.
• Sends via Outlook: The summary is delivered by the Microsoft Outlook node with the subject “Financial news from today.”

• For SaaS operators and investors who want a daily market news brief without manually browsing FT.com.
