Create RSS Feed from Website Content

This n8n workflow automates the creation of an RSS feed from any website lacking native feed support, using Baserow's release page as an example. It triggers on a webhook call (simulating new content publication), fetches the page via HTTP Request, extracts key post details like title, date, description, and link using HTML Extract nodes, processes dates with Date & Time node, and formats everything into valid RSS XML using Function nodes.

Benefits include effortless content monitoring without custom scraping scripts, real-time RSS generation for newsletters or aggregators, and easy customization via CSS selectors for any site structure. It saves hours of development time for marketers, developers, or content curators needing to syndicate updates from blogs, release notes, or news pages.

Use cases: Track software releases (e.g., Baserow, GitHub), aggregate blog posts into podcasts/apps, build custom news feeds for internal dashboards, or integrate with tools like IFTTT/Zapier for alerts. Highly extensible for multi-page scraping or authentication-protected sites.
