"content": "## Weekly AI Digest of Your Blog (RSS to Newsletter Draft)\n\n### How it works\n\nThis workflow runs every Monday morning to create a weekly AI-generated newsletter draft from a blog RSS feed. It loads configuration, reads recent posts from the feed, filters them to the last seven days, and branches based on whether any posts were found. If posts exist, it calls an AI API to write the digest and exposes the markdown for copying; otherwise it exits with a no-op path.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- Configure the schedule trigger for the desired weekly send or draft time.\n- Set the RSS feed URL, AI API base URL, model, and newsletter tone in the configuration node.\n- Add the required HTTP/API credentials or authentication headers for the AI endpoint in the AI request node.\n- Verify the RSS feed includes publish dates so the last-seven-days filter can work correctly.\n\n### Customization\n\nAdjust the newsletter tone, AI model, RSS feed URL, or the filtering window in the code node to match a different publishing cadence or editorial style."
