🚀 Daily Startup Digest – n8n + Agentuity Automation

This project combines an AI-powered startup summarization agent (built with Agentuity) and a scheduled n8n automation to deliver a daily digest of startup news via Email, Slack, and Discord.

🧠 What It Does

Each morning at 7 AM (or your specified time):

  1. Triggers automatically on a schedule.
  2. Sends a POST request to your hosted Agentuity agent, which returns a list of summarized startup stories.
  3. Processes and formats those summaries into a clean HTML digest.
  4. Sends the digest to your configured Email, Slack, and Discord recipients.

🛠 Prerequisites

You’ll need:

  • An Agentuity account and CLI access
  • A deployed Startup Scraper Agent
  • An active n8n instance
  • Your own:
    • SMTP credentials (for email)
    • Slack workspace with bot permissions (optional)
    • Discord webhook or bot (optional)

Project Layout:

Startup_News_Scraper/ └─ src/agents/startup_scraper/ ├─ fetchFeeds.ts # grabs RSS + filters tech/startup keywords ├─ summarize.ts # OpenAI call → JSON summary ├─ index.ts # agent entry-point for Agentuity └─ types.ts # shared TypeScript types n8n_workflow/ └─ workflow.json # downloaded workflow for n8n

⚙️ Step-by-Step Setup

1. Clone the Agent

git clone https://github.com/agentuity/examples
cd agents/Startup_News_Scraper
bun install
bun dev

2. Deploy (or run) the Agent

agentuity deploy

3. Import the n8n workflow

  1. Download the JSON file from n8n_workflow/workflow.json
  2. Open n8n → Workflows → Import from file.
  3. Select workflow.json (included in this repo).
  4. You should see a canvas with: Schedule Trigger → HTTP Request → Code → Email / Slack / Discord.

4. Set up the Agentuity API endpoint

  1. In your Agentuity dashboard open the deployed agent, click the ➕ icon under IO Visualization and choose API.
  2. Copy the Bearer Authentication Token (You will need to add this in the HTTP Request Node in the n8n workflow)
  3. Save the API Endpoint
  1. Method – set to POST
  2. URL – https://agentuity.ai/api/<your-agent-id>?wait=true (Grab this from the bottom of API pop-up in agentuity)
  3. Send Headers – enable / turn on
    • Header 1 – Name → Authorization
    • Header 1 – Value → Bearer wht_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    • Header 2 – Name → Content-Type
    • Header 2 – Value → application/json
  4. Send Body – enable / turn on
    • Body Content Type – select JSON
    • JSON Body – {} (a single empty JSON object) Query Parameters – leave blank

6. Do not adjust Code Node

  1. Code node is preconfigured with the logic to transform the JSON formatted summaries to human-readable HTML.
  2. Do not change.

7. Third Party Configuration (Email, Slack, Discord, etc.)

  1. Email Send node

    • Credentials → select your SMTP account
    • Operation → Send
    • From Email → your sender address
    • To Email → recipient address(es)
    • Subject → 📬 Daily Startup Digest – {{ new Date().toLocaleDateString() }} (do not change)
    • Email Format → html
    • HTML → {{$json["html"]}} (do not change)

  2. Slack node

    • Credentials → select your Slack OAuth (bot) credential
    • Resource → Message
    • Operation → Send
    • Send Message To → choose the channel or user
    • Message Type → {{$json["html"]}} (do not change)

  3. Discord node

    • Credentials → select your Discord Bot Token / Webhook credential
    • Resource → Message
    • Operation → Send
    • Server → pick the target server / guild
    • Send To → Channel (or User)
    • Channel/User → select the destination
    • Message → {{$json["html"]}} (do not change)
  • You can also implement other n8n nodes:
    • Notion – create or append to a database
    • Google Sheets – log each day’s stories
    • Telegram / Teams – forward to other chat apps
    • Webhooks – POST the digest JSON to any backend
