Curate daily tech news for Slack and Telegram using BrowserAct & OpenRouter

This workflow automates the creation and delivery of a professional morning tech briefing. It scrapes headlines from major sources like The Verge and Product Hunt, uses parallel AI agents to format the content specifically for Telegram (HTML) and Slack (Markdown), and broadcasts the updates to your team or community channels.

Target Audience

Product managers, development teams, community managers, and tech enthusiasts who want a consolidated daily news digest without manual curation.

How it works

  1. Daily Trigger: A Schedule Trigger starts the workflow every morning at 10:00 AM.
  2. Fetch News: A BrowserAct node executes a background task to scrape the latest headlines and links from defined sources (default: The Verge and Product Hunt).
  3. Parallel Formatting: The data splits into two paths:
    • Telegram Path: The "Telegram Master" AI Agent formats the news into clean HTML, adding emojis and ensuring links work within Telegram's API constraints.
    • Slack Path: The "Slack Master" AI Agent formats the same news into Slack-compatible Markdown, prioritizing developer tools and using Slack-specific syntax.
  4. Smart Splitting: Both AI agents automatically split the content into multiple message parts if the text exceeds the character limits of the respective platforms.
  5. Broadcast: The workflow iterates through the generated message parts and sends them sequentially to Telegram and Slack.

How to set up

  1. Configure Credentials: Connect your BrowserAct, OpenRouter (for AI models), Telegram, and Slack accounts in n8n.
  2. Prepare BrowserAct: Ensure the Automated Multi-Site Morning Brief template is saved in your BrowserAct account.
  3. Configure Channels:
    • Open the Send a text message (Telegram) node and enter your Chat ID.
    • Open the Send a message (Slack) node and select your target channel.
  4. Activate: Turn on the workflow to start receiving daily briefs.

Requirements

  • BrowserAct account with the Automated Multi-Site Morning Brief template.
  • OpenRouter account (or credentials for a specific LLM like Claude or Gemini).
  • Telegram Bot Token.
  • Slack account.

How to customize the workflow

  1. Add News Sources: Update the BrowserAct node inputs to scrape different websites (e.g., Hacker News, TechCrunch).
  2. Change AI Persona: Modify the system prompts in the Telegram Master or Slack Master nodes to change the tone from "Professional" to "Casual" or "Sarcastic."
  3. Add More Platforms: Duplicate one of the formatting branches to create a version for Discord or Microsoft Teams.
