RSS / Blog Announcements Auto-Posted to Discord

Beginner   Apps: RSS, Discord  ·  Setup: 5 minutes

Communities live in Discord but content ships everywhere else - your blog, your changelog, upstream projects you track. Bots that bridge RSS to Discord are either paid, rate-limited, or want server permissions they don't need. This workflow polls any feed hourly and posts new items through a plain Discord webhook - no bot account, no permissions beyond one channel.

What this workflow does

  1. A Schedule Trigger polls every hour.
  2. An RSS node reads the feed (your blog, a GitHub releases feed, a status page - anything with RSS).
  3. A Code node keeps only items published since the last hour, so nothing posts twice.
  4. A Discord node sends each new item to your channel via webhook: title, link, and a one-line summary.

Setup guide

  1. Import the JSON into n8n (Workflows > Import from File).
  2. Paste your feed URL into the RSS node (e.g. https://yourblog.com/rss.xml or a GitHub releases.atom).
  3. In Discord: channel settings > Integrations > Webhooks > New Webhook, copy the URL into the Discord node's webhook credential.
  4. Activate the workflow. New feed items appear in the channel within the hour.

FAQ

Can it watch several feeds at once?Yes - add more RSS nodes (one per feed) and connect them all into the same filter node, or put the URLs in a list and loop with Split In Batches.
Why hourly instead of instant?RSS is a polling format - there is no push. Hourly is polite to the source server; drop the interval to 15 minutes for time-sensitive feeds.
Can it post to Slack or Telegram too?Add a Slack or Telegram node next to the Discord node and connect the filter to both - one poll, every channel notified.
