Description
🌟 Send Daily Motivational Quote to Slack
This workflow automatically posts an inspiring motivational quote to your Slack channel every morning at 8 AM. It uses the free ZenQuotes.io API (no API key required) to fetch quotes and delivers them to your team in Slack.
⚙️ How It Works
-
Trigger at 8 AM
A Cron node runs daily at 8 AM EST (America/New_York timezone by default). -
Fetch a Random Quote
The workflow sends an HTTP Request to ZenQuotes.io API to retrieve a motivational quote. -
Format the Message
A Code node structures the quote into a Slack-friendly message, adding styling, emojis, and the author’s name. -
Post to Slack
Finally, the Slack node sends the motivational message to your chosen Slack channel (default:#general).
🛠️ Setup Steps
1. Connect Slack App
- Go to api.slack.com → Create a new app.
- Add OAuth scopes:
chat:writechannels:read
- Install the app to your Slack workspace.
- Copy credentials into n8n.
2. Configure Slack Channel
- Default is
#general. - Update the Slack node if you want to post to another channel.
3. Adjust Timezone (Optional)
- Workflow is set to America/New_York timezone.
- Change under workflow → settings → timezone if needed.
