Description

HR Weekly Radar
AI powered workflow that scans HR news via RSS, checks which of your policies or contract templates might need updates, and sends a weekly internal newsletter as HTML.

What this template is for
If you maintain an HR policy and template library, this helps you spot relevant changes faster and turn them into a small, actionable review list.

Good to know
This workflow fetches article pages and sends extracted text to LLMs
Respect the publisher’s terms and avoid redistributing full article text outside your organization
Cost and runtime depend on how many articles you process and how long the extracted text is

How it works
Weekly trigger starts the workflow
RSS feed read pulls new HR articles
Filter keeps only the last 7 days
Limit node caps processing to maxArticles
HTTP request fetches each article page
HTML extract + cleanup converts the article body to plain text
Google Drive node lists your policy and template file names
Merge combines each article with the document list
Reading agent evaluates relevance and suggests:
which documents to review or update
what change to consider
missing document ideas
Build report aggregates results across all articles
Summary agent writes a short, scannable HTML email
Gmail sends the newsletter to your chosen recipient

How to use
Add your RSS feed URL in the Workflow Configuration node (newsUrl)
Set your recipient email (userEmail)
Set your Google Drive folder id that contains policies and templates (templatesFolderId)
Connect credentials for:
Google Drive
LLM provider nodes
Gmail
Run once manually and verify the email formatting, then activate the workflow

Requirements
RSS feed URL with HR or compliance updates
Google Drive folder containing policy and template files
LLM credentials for:
per article analysis
newsletter drafting
Gmail account to send the email

Customising this workflow
Increase or decrease maxArticles to control cost and speed
Adjust the last 7 days filter if you want a different reporting window
Change the HTML extraction selector if your news source has a different page layout
Swap the final Gmail node for Slack, Teams, Notion, or Google Docs
Add a redaction step before the Reading Agent if you want to remove signatures or long quoted sections
