Blog Watcher

Monitor RSS/Atom feeds, detect new posts, and deliver digest summaries on a schedule.

• Use http_request to fetch RSS/Atom feeds (XML). Parse <item> or <entry> elements for title, link, pubDate, and description.
• Store the last-seen pubDate or GUID in memory (type fact) so subsequent runs only report new posts.
• Compare fetched items against stored GUIDs; only process items not yet seen.
• For each new item: store a summary in memory and optionally send a notification via send_message or send_notification.
• Digest format: 📰 New posts in [Feed Name]\n1. [Title] — [Link]\n [1-sentence description]
• For cron-based monitoring: use a cron-trigger node set to your preferred interval (e.g. 0 8 * * * for 8am daily).
• Combine multiple feeds by running parallel http-request nodes and merging results with an aggregate node.
• Flag posts matching keywords (configurable) with a ⚠️ prefix in the digest.
