Weekly AI News Newsletter: Claude + Notion from RSS via n8n

Turn weekly AI news into a ready-to-publish Notion newsletter—automatically

This n8n workflow scans multiple AI-focused RSS feeds every week, drafts a Markdown newsletter with Anthropic Claude, converts it into Notion blocks, and saves the result as a draft page in your Notion database—then sends you a Telegram confirmation.

What this workflow does

• Weekly scheduled run: Starts on a weekly schedule trigger.
• Collects AI items via RSS: Pulls articles and updates from multiple feeds (e.g., TechCrunch, MIT Technology Review, The Verge, OpenAI News, Hugging Face, Google AI Blog, plus several YouTube channel feeds) and merges them into one list.
• Deduplicates + filters: Removes duplicates by URL, filters to the last 7 days, applies per-source caps, sorts by publish date, and limits the final selection to 35 items.
• Writes with Claude: Formats the selected items into a prompt and calls the Anthropic Messages API (Claude) to generate a Markdown newsletter based on your configured rules and limits.
• Creates a Notion draft: Ensures Claude returns non-empty text, converts the Markdown into native Notion blocks (in batches), finds/creates a page for today’s date in a Notion database, and updates it with newsletter metadata and content.
• Confirms via Telegram: Sends a success message to your configured Telegram chat.

Use cases

• AI teams and SaaS operators who want a consistent weekly update without manual curation.
• n8n automation engineers building newsroom-style pipelines from RSS to Notion.
• Operators who need a repeatable “digest” workflow for internal knowledge bases.
