This article provides a complete, practical walkthrough of the Splitout Schedule Create Scheduled n8n agent. It connects HTTP Request, Webhook across approximately 1 node(s). Expect a Intermediate setup in 15-45 minutes. One‑time purchase: €29.

What This Agent Does

This agent orchestrates a reliable automation between HTTP Request, Webhook, handling triggers, data enrichment, and delivery with guardrails for errors and rate limits.

It streamlines multi‑step processes that would otherwise require manual exports, spreadsheet cleanup, and repeated API requests. By centralizing logic in n8n, it reduces context switching, lowers error rates, and ensures consistent results across teams.

Typical outcomes include faster lead handoffs, automated notifications, accurate data synchronization, and better visibility via execution logs and optional Slack/Email alerts.

How It Works

The workflow uses standard n8n building blocks like Webhook or Schedule triggers, HTTP Request for API calls, and control nodes (IF, Merge, Set) to validate inputs, branch on conditions, and format outputs. Retries and timeouts improve resilience, while credentials keep secrets safe.

   In today’s fast-paced development environment, staying up to date with the latest software releases is crucial—but manually checking for updates is time-consuming and prone to oversight. That’s where no-code workflow automation tools like n8n step in. In this article, we’ll walk you through an n8n workflow that automates the process of checking for new GitHub releases and sending the details directly to your inbox, beautifully formatted, once a day.
   
   Overview of the Workflow
   
   This n8n-based automation consists of seven main nodes, each representing a specific action in the process of fetching, processing, and sending GitHub release updates. Once set up, this workflow will run daily, check if a new release has been published in the last 24 hours, convert the release notes from Markdown to HTML, and email the result to a specified address.
   
   Let’s break down the complete workflow:
   
   1. Daily Trigger  
   The process begins with the “Daily Trigger” node, which schedules the workflow to run every day. Although the default is once daily, users can customize this interval to suit their needs. This ensures that users don’t miss any daily updates from their favorite GitHub repositories.
   
   2. Fetch Latest GitHub Release  
   Next, an HTTP request node titled “Fetch Github Repo Releases” makes a GET request to GitHub’s official API endpoint:  
   https://api.github.com/repos/n8n-io/n8n/releases/latest
   
   This retrieves the latest release metadata for the n8n open-source automation tool. If you’re tracking a different repository, simply update this URL to match.
   
   3. Check for Recent Updates  
   The “If new release in the last day” conditional node evaluates the timestamp of the fetched release by checking its published_at field. If the release was published within the last 24 hours, the workflow continues. Otherwise, it stops execution—eliminating unnecessary notifications.
   
   4. Extract Release Notes  
   Using the “Split Out Content” node, the workflow isolates the "body" field from the release object. This field typically contains the release notes in Markdown format, including changes, improvements, and bug fixes.
   
   5. Convert Markdown to HTML  
   The “Convert Markdown to HTML” node then parses the Markdown release notes into HTML format. This is done to ensure aesthetic and readable formatting when sending the notes via email.
   
   6. Email Delivery  
   The last operational node, “Send Email,” sends an HTML-formatted email to a specified recipient. The subject line is “New n8n release,” and both the sender and recipient addresses are customizable. The email body uses the output from the HTML converter, ensuring the update arrives looking clean and professional.
   
   Customization Tips
   
   While the current setup is tailored for the n8n repository, it can easily be repurposed. Here are some customization hints:
   
   - Want to track a different repository? Modify the GitHub API URL in the “Fetch Github Repo Releases” node.
   - Want to notify multiple team members? Add more email addresses to the “toEmail” parameter.
   - Want better formatting? Enhance the markdown or add custom HTML wrappers after the conversion.
   - Use Environment Variables to manage repository URLs and email addresses more securely and flexibly across projects.
   
   Advanced Uses
   
   For teams managing multiple repositories or tools, this workflow can be duplicated and updated for each repo of interest. It can also be extended to post messages in Slack, create Trello cards, or update databases with release metadata—thanks to n8n’s versatile integration options.
   
   Why Use This Workflow?
   
   - Time-Saving: Eliminates the need to manually check for updates.
   - Reliable: Scheduled daily checks ensure you never miss a release.
   - Customizable: Works with any public GitHub repository.
   - No Coding Required: Built entirely using n8n’s intuitive, drag-and-drop interface.
   - Scalable: Easily expand to multiple repositories or notification channels.
   
   Conclusion  
   
   This n8n workflow is perfect for developers, DevOps teams, or community managers looking to keep tabs on project updates without burdening their daily workflows. With just a few configurable options, it turns GitHub's release feed into a smart, informative, and timely email tool.
   
   Whether you're maintaining open-source projects or monitoring dependencies your system relies on, automating release monitoring like this adds a layer of efficiency and professionalism to your software stack.
   
   Set it once, and stay informed—even while you sleep.

   By leveraging the power of n8n’s no-code automation platform with GitHub’s API and standard email integration, you gain a productive edge with minimal setup and maximum return.

5. Set credentials for each API node (keys, OAuth) in Credentials.
6. Run a test via Execute Workflow. Inspect Run Data, then adjust parameters.
7. Enable the workflow to run on schedule, webhook, or triggers as configured.

Tips: keep secrets in credentials, add retries and timeouts on HTTP nodes, implement error notifications, and paginate large API fetches.

Validation: use IF/Code nodes to sanitize inputs and guard against empty payloads.

Why Automate This with AI Agents

AI‑assisted automations offload repetitive, error‑prone tasks to a predictable workflow. Instead of manual copy‑paste and ad‑hoc scripts, your team gets a governed pipeline with versioned state, auditability, and observable runs.

n8n’s node graph makes data flow transparent while AI‑powered enrichment (classification, extraction, summarization) boosts throughput and consistency. Teams reclaim time, reduce operational costs, and standardize best practices without sacrificing flexibility.

Compared to one‑off integrations, an AI agent is easier to extend: swap APIs, add filters, or bolt on notifications without rewriting everything. You get reliability, control, and a faster path from idea to production.

Best Practices

• Credentials: restrict scopes and rotate tokens regularly.
• Resilience: configure retries, timeouts, and backoff for API nodes.
• Data Quality: validate inputs; normalize fields early to reduce downstream branching.
• Performance: batch records and paginate for large datasets.
• Observability: add failure alerts (Email/Slack) and persistent logs for auditing.
• Security: avoid sensitive data in logs; use environment variables and n8n credentials.

FAQs

Can I swap integrations later? Yes. Replace or add nodes and re‑map fields without rebuilding the whole flow.

How do I monitor failures? Use Execution logs and add notifications on the Error Trigger path.

Does it scale? Use queues, batching, and sub‑workflows to split responsibilities and control load.

Is my data safe? Keep secrets in Credentials, restrict token scopes, and review access logs.
