Latenode

Automate RSS feed content distribution via email

This template watches a feed URL and, when a new RSS item arrives, turns it into an email. Tools strips HTML.

JavaScript builds the subject and body from title, excerpt, and link. Gmail sends that message to the address you map. Paste the feed URL on the RSS trigger. Connect Gmail with permission to send from the mailbox you choose.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
