Automated Reading List Update & Notification Workflow

This n8n workflow automates the process of syncing reading data from Readwise, processing new articles, and sending summaries via Telegram. It starts with a manual trigger or a scheduled cron trigger every 10 minutes. The workflow reads the last synchronization timestamp from a file, makes an API request to Readwise to fetch updated highlights since the last sync, and filters for articles without children. It then splits these articles into batches, formats the data as JSON, and sends each article’s details to a Telegram chat as a message. After processing, the workflow updates the timestamp for the next sync, stores it in a file, and can be manually triggered for on-demand updates. This setup is ideal for readers, content curators, or teams wishing to automate summarizing and sharing reading highlights.
