Description

HR Weekly Radar

AI powered workflow that scans HR news via RSS, checks which of your policies or contract templates might need updates, and sends a weekly internal newsletter as HTML.

What this template is for

If you maintain an HR policy and template library, this helps you spot relevant changes faster and turn them into a small, actionable review list.

Good to know

• This workflow fetches article pages and sends extracted text to LLMs
• Respect the publisher’s terms and avoid redistributing full article text outside your organization
• Cost and runtime depend on how many articles you process and how long the extracted text is

How it works

• Weekly trigger starts the workflow
• RSS feed read pulls new HR articles
• Filter keeps only the last 7 days
• Limit node caps processing to maxArticles
• HTTP request fetches each article page
• HTML extract + cleanup converts the article body to plain text
• Google Drive node lists your policy and template file names
• Merge combines each article with the document list
• Reading agent evaluates relevance and suggests:
  • which documents to review or update
  • what change to consider
  • missing document ideas
• Build report aggregates results across all articles
• Summary agent writes a short, scannable HTML email
• Gmail sends the newsletter to your chosen recipient

How to use

• Add your RSS feed URL in the Workflow Configuration node (newsUrl)
• Set your recipient email (userEmail)
• Set your Google Drive folder id that contains policies and templates (templatesFolderId)
• Connect credentials for:
  • Google Drive
  • LLM provider nodes
  • Gmail
• Run once manually and verify the email formatting, then activate the workflow

Requirements

• RSS feed URL with HR or compliance updates
• Google Drive folder containing policy and template files
• LLM credentials for:
  • per article analysis
  • newsletter drafting
• Gmail account to send the email

Customising this workflow

• Increase or decrease maxArticles to control cost and speed
• Adjust the last 7 days filter if you want a different reporting window
• Change the HTML extraction selector if your news source has a different page layout
• Swap the final Gmail node for Slack, Teams, Notion, or Google Docs
• Add a redaction step before the Reading Agent if you want to remove signatures or long quoted sections
