This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching daily financial news for a list of stock tickers and posting summarized updates to a Slack channel. It is scheduled to run every weekday morning at 9:15 AM, ensuring that users receive timely market news without manual intervention.
The workflow begins with a scheduled trigger that activates the process daily. It then prepares a list of stock tickers, which can be customized according to the user’s interests. For each ticker, the workflow makes an HTTP request to the FinnHub API to retrieve the latest company news, using a secure header-based authentication.
Once the news data is fetched, the workflow formats the top headlines into a concise markdown message suitable for Slack. It posts each news update to a designated Slack channel, with a brief delay between messages to avoid API rate limits. Additionally, many explanatory sticky notes are embedded throughout the workflow to guide users on customizing tickers, setting up API keys, and configuring Slack Webhooks.
This setup is practical for financial analysts, stock traders, or anyone interested in staying updated on market news effortlessly. It provides a streamlined way to receive a curated, timely news digest directly in Slack, enhancing decision-making and staying informed.
