Automated News Change Notification Workflow

somdn_product_page

This n8n workflow is designed to monitor changes on Hacker News and notify a Telegram chat if updates are detected. It starts with a scheduled trigger that runs every 5 minutes, performing an initial HTTP request to fetch the Hacker News homepage. After a wait period of 5 minutes, it repeats the HTTP request to check for any changes in the content. Using an ‘IF’ node, it compares the two fetched pages to detect alterations. If a change is detected, it sends a notification message (‘Something got changed’) to a specified Telegram chat, alerting users about updates on Hacker News. This workflow is particularly useful for monitoring news or forum updates and getting instant notifications through Telegram.
