- Create run record (Postgres): run a query
- Build feed source list (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
- Fetch feed content (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API

- Any articles found? (If): checks a condition and branches into true / false
- Deduplicate by URL and title (Code): runs custom JavaScript code

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
1 thing in this workflow is removed in n8n 3.0. Fix it before you upgrade:
- AI Agent v1 (old agent modes) in Compile digest with Claude (v1.7): replace with Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent.
Rather not rewrite it? Many of these flows can be rebuilt in Make (free plan).
