This n8n workflow automates the process of sourcing and emailing a weekly book recommendation specifically in the juvenile literature genre. It is designed to run every Friday at 11:00 AM, making it ideal for educators, librarians, or book clubs looking to engage their audience with fresh reading suggestions.
The workflow begins with a scheduled trigger set for Fridays, followed by setting the subject to ‘juvenile_literature.’ It then makes an HTTP request to the Open Library API to retrieve the total number of books available in that subject. If books are found, it randomly selects one book from the available pool, then fetches detailed information about this book, including its title, authors, description, and URL.
Multiple nodes process this data: one creates HTML links for authors, another formats the book’s details into an appealing email body, and another sets up the email subject line. If no books are available for the subject, the workflow sends an email notification to inform the recipient that no books could be found, suggesting they update the subject or check the library’s available subjects.
Finally, the workflow sends out a personalized email with the curated book recommendation, including clickable author links, book description, and a link to its page on Open Library. This automation streamlines the process of consistently providing engaging book suggestions, saving time and increasing engagement for educational or literary environments.
