Collect industry news from many sources in one Notion database
Alec Foster has about a dozen n8n workflows that follow industry press, Reddit, Substack, podcasts and selected people on X and LinkedIn. All remove duplicates by URL and write to one Notion database, and a shared error handler alerts in Slack. He reads the queue and approves himself. He recommends starting with the database and one source, and says it only pays off once the reading takes more time than the upkeep.

How to do it
- Paste the prompt into the tool, and replace the text in brackets with your own.
- Read the answer through. Do not send, delete or publish anything until you have seen it yourself.
- Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.
Try it with n8n
Set up an n8n workflow that every [interval] fetches new items from [RSS source], removes duplicates by URL and creates a page in the Notion database [name] with title, source, link, date and a short excerpt. Add an alert in [channel] if the run fails. Do not publish anything. You are done when a test run has added new items without duplicates.
Replace text in brackets with your own.
