An HTTP Request node pulls the insider feed from the AlphaAI news API, covering SEC EDGAR Form 4 insider trades and institutional stake stories.\n3. A Code node keeps material filings scored 6 or higher, skips filings posted in earlier runs and builds color coded embed cards showing Buy or Sell, the holding type and a link to the filing.\n4. An HTTP Request node posts the cards to a Discord channel webhook as one message.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- [ ] Create a free AlphaAI API key at alphai.io (Account, API keys).\n- [ ] On the \"Fetch Insider News\" node, add a Bearer Auth credential and paste the key without the \"Bearer \" prefix.\n- [ ] In Discord, create a channel webhook (Channel, Edit, Integrations, Webhooks) and paste its URL into the \"Post Alerts to Discord\" node.\n- [ ] Activate the workflow.\n\n### Customization\n\nAdjust the schedule interval or the score threshold (MIN_SCORE) in the \"Build Discord Alert Cards\" node.",
