Description
Who's it for
This workflow is perfect for n8n users and teams who want to stay up-to-date with the latest n8n releases without manually checking GitHub. Get AI-powered summaries of new features and bug fixes delivered straight to your inbox.
What it does
This workflow automatically monitors the n8n GitHub releases page and sends you smart email notifications when new updates are published. It fetches release notes, filters them based on your schedule (daily, weekly, etc.), and uses OpenAI to generate concise summaries highlighting the most important bug fixes and features. The summaries are then formatted into a clean HTML email and sent via Gmail.

Add OpenAI credentials - Connect your OpenAI API key or use a different LLM
