This article provides a complete, practical walkthrough of the Graphql Discord Automate 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.

   Automatically Share Top Product Hunt Projects to Discord Using n8n
   
   Keeping your community informed about trending tech and startup products can foster conversation, inspiration, and engagement. What if you could automate the curation of top Product Hunt launches and post them straight to your Discord server every hour? With n8n—a powerful open-source workflow automation tool—you can do just that.
   
   In this tutorial, we’ll walk through a no-code solution where an n8n workflow automatically retrieves the top 5 trending projects from Product Hunt and posts them on a Discord channel via webhook integration. It’s fast, automated, and perfect for product communities or tech-savvy social groups.
   
   🔧 What This Workflow Does
   
   This n8n workflow executes the following actions:
   
   1. Triggers every hour using a Cron node.
   2. Fetches the top 5 trending Product Hunt projects from the last 24 hours using Product Hunt’s GraphQL API.
   3. Parses the project data into individual items using the Item Lists node.
   4. Extracts relevant info such as Name, Description, and Votes using the Set node.
   5. Sends the neatly formatted content to a designated Discord channel via a Webhook.
   
   Let’s break down these steps further.
   
   ⏰ Step 1: Triggering the Workflow Every Hour
   
   The Cron node is the heartbeat of this workflow. It’s configured to run every hour, which means your community gets a fresh list of top Product Hunt projects twelve times a day.
   
   Node: Cron  
   Configuration: `Every Hour`
   
   This ensures you're always caught up with the most recent buzz on Product Hunt.
   
   📡 Step 2: Fetching Top Projects from Product Hunt
   
   Once triggered, the workflow sends a GraphQL query to Product Hunt’s API, requesting the top 5 ranked posts that were published within the last 24 hours. The GraphQL node allows dynamic generation of time strings by embedding JavaScript code inside the query.
   
   Node: GraphQL  
   Endpoint: https://api.producthunt.com/v2/api/graphql  
   Authentication: Bearer Token  
   GraphQL Query:
   
   ```graphql
   query PostRanking{
     posts(postedAfter:"{{new Date(new Date(Date.now()).getTime() - (1000*60*60*1*24)).toUTCString()}}", order:RANKING, first:5, postedBefore:"{{new Date(Date.now()).toUTCString()}}"){
       edges {
         node {
           name
           tagline
           description
           votesCount
           reviewsRating
         }
       }
     }
   }
   ```
   
   This query dynamically calculates the last 24 hours relative to the time of execution to ensure recency.
   
   📦 Step 3: Parsing the Product Data
   
   Product Hunt’s API returns data in a nested array structure. The Item Lists node is used to separate each product into its own individual JSON item, allowing the workflow to handle and format each product independently.
   
   Node: Item Lists  
   Configuration: Field to Split: `data.posts.edges`  
   Destination Field: `posts`
   
   📝 Step 4: Selecting and Formatting the Data
   
   With each product now represented as a unique item, the Set node prepares the content for posting. Key fields such as name, description, and vote count are extracted and formatted.
   
   Node: Set  
   Values:
   - Name: `{{$json["posts"]["node"]["name"]}}`
   - Description: `{{$json["posts"]["node"]["description"]}}`
   - Votes: `{{$json["posts"]["node"]["votesCount"]}}`
   
   Using “keepOnlySet” ensures that only relevant fields are included in the next stage.
   
   📣 Step 5: Sending the Message to Discord
   
   Finally, the crafted content is piped into a Discord node. This node uses a simple Discord webhook URL to post formatted text messages into any channel of your choosing.
   
   Node: Discord  
   Webhook URI: Your Discord Webhook URL  
   Message Format:
   
   ```
   Here are the top 5 PH projects:
   **Name:** {{$json["Name"]}}
   **Description:** {{$json["Description"]}}
   **Vote:** {{$json["Votes"]}}
   -------
   ```
   
   You can style or augment the message with any additional Markdown Discord supports.
   
   📌 Final Touches and Deployment
   
   Make sure you:
   - Secure your Product Hunt API Bearer Token.
   - Generate and configure a Discord Incoming Webhook URL from the desired channel.
   - Test the workflow manually before activating the Cron scheduler to ensure seamless delivery.
   
   🔐 Security Tip:
   
   Avoid hardcoding tokens and webhooks in the workflow itself. Instead, use n8n’s Credential Manager or environment variables to store sensitive data securely.
   
   ✨ Use Cases
   
   This workflow is useful for:
   
   - Community Managers: Keep Discord users updated with trending products automatically.
   - Makers & Founders: Monitor competition and popular tools.
   - Tech Enthusiasts: Stay inspired by the latest launches without leaving Discord.
   
   🧠 Conclusion
   
   By connecting Product Hunt’s GraphQL API with Discord through n8n, you eliminate the manual effort in staying updated with trending products. Whether you’re a community leader, a curious developer, or just a product fan, this workflow helps keep your community informed in real-time—every single hour.
   
   Try personalizing the workflow further by including product links, images, or even user reviews.
   
   Automate, share, and stay ahead—one webhook at a time.

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.
