Automate Morning Brew–style Reddit Digests and Publish to DEV using AI

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.

Who’s it for

Community managers, content marketers, and builders who want a daily, skimmable update from a subreddit—automatically summarized, formatted, and cross-posted to DEV Community.

What it does

Collects fresh posts from a subreddit (seeded via RSS). Uses the Bright Data node to batch-scrape each post for richer fields (upvotes, comment count, comments). Flattens comments/replies with JMESPath and trims payload size. Summarizes into a Morning Brew–style brief (Top Stories, Quick Hits, Community Q\&A, Comment Spotlight). Converts to clean Markdown and publishes to DEV with HTTP Request. Optional: emails the same digest via Gmail.

How to set up

1. Trigger: Start with Manual Trigger; swap to Cron (daily) when ready. 2. RSS → URLs: Set the subreddit RSS of your choice, just add .rss to the end of the subreddit URL. 3. Update AI Prompt to fit your needs
