Weekly Responsive Plex Media Newsletter via Email (Tautulli Alt)

This n8n workflow generates a fully responsive HTML newsletter every week, showcasing the latest movies and TV shows added to your Plex Media Server. It pulls data directly from the Tautulli API (a Tautulli alternative setup), merges movies and TV listings, and builds a professional, Gmail/iOS Mail-compatible email template. Personalized emails are then sent to your list of recipients via SMTP, saving hours of manual curation and sharing.

The workflow runs on a customizable schedule (weekly by default) starting with a trigger node, followed by API fetches for recent media, data merging, HTML generation with embedded images and links, recipient preparation, and SMTP dispatch. Every node includes sticky notes for easy setup, making it beginner-friendly yet powerful for advanced users.

Ideal for Plex server owners wanting to engage friends, family, or communities with automated updates. Benefits include time savings, cross-client compatibility, and extensibility for notifications to Discord/Slack. Customize scheduling, branding, or add filters for specific libraries—perfect for media enthusiasts or content curators.

Setup is straightforward: input your Tautulli URL/API key/Plex token/server ID, update recipients, add SMTP creds, and tweak the HTML if desired. Requires Plex with Tautulli and an SMTP account.
