RSS Feed → Google Gemini → Gmail

Each new item in an RSS feed is summarized by Google Gemini and emailed to you from Gmail.

Steps

When when a new item appears in an rss feed — RSS Feed node only reads
Then summarize it with gemini — Google Gemini node can be undone
Then send me an email with gmail — Gmail node can’t be undone

Fields to fill (5)

The file has every node wired up. These are the blanks only you can fill (your form, your sheet, your words).

Node	What to do
RSS Feed	check `feedUrl` = 'https://blog.n8n.io/rss/' (n8n's example — put your own)
Google Gemini	fill `modelId` (Model)
Gmail	fill `sendTo` (The email addresses of the recipients)
Gmail	fill `subject` (Subject)
Gmail	fill `message` (Message) — the AI step's output: run that node once in n8n and pick its output field

Accounts to connect (2)

In n8n, pick or add a credential on each node — one of the types below.

Google Gemini: googlePalmApi
Gmail: googleApi or gmailOAuth2

Need something slightly different? Same engine, your own words:

Run it on Apify — type your own sentence, get the workflow back in seconds. Open Bridgecore on Apify (pay per use, $0.02–$0.05; nothing charged on errors).
Ask your AI — add the MCP server https://mcp.usebridgecore.com/ to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client, then just say what should happen. Tools: do, find_recipe, plan_automation, make_n8n_workflow. Free to plan.
Ask me first — add “and ask me first” to any step (“… and post it on X and ask me first”) and the workflow sends you an Approve / Decline message (Slack, Telegram or Gmail) before that step runs. Nothing is sent, posted, deleted or paid until you tap Approve; no answer in a day = declined.

Open a new, empty workflow in n8n.
Open the workflow menu (⋯) and choose Import from File — or copy the JSON below and paste it onto the canvas (Ctrl/Cmd+V).
Connect the accounts, fill the fields above, run one test, then turn the workflow on.

Or copy the JSON
