📈 Get Daily Market Updates from FT.com Delivered to Your Microsoft Outlook Inbox
Gathers financial news from FT.com and sends daily summaries to your Outlook inbox. Streamlines content extraction and email distribution for up-to-date market intelligence.
How it works
This workflow is designed to automate the process of gathering daily financial news from FT.com and delivering it to a Microsoft Outlook inbox. The workflow consists of several interconnected nodes that facilitate data extraction, transformation, and email delivery.
1. HTTP Request Node:
The workflow begins with an HTTP Request node that is configured to fetch data from the FT.com website. This node is set to make a GET request to the specific endpoint that provides the latest market updates.
2. HTML Extract Node:
After the HTTP request is made, the response is passed to an HTML Extract node. This node is responsible for parsing the HTML content retrieved from FT.com and extracting relevant information such as headlines, summaries, and links to the full articles. The extraction is defined using CSS selectors that target specific elements within the HTML structure.
3. Function Node:
The extracted data is then sent to a Function node, where it undergoes further processing. In this node, the data is formatted into a structured summary that is suitable for email distribution. The Function node may also include logic to filter or modify the content based on specific criteria.
4. Microsoft Outlook Node:
Finally, the processed summary is sent to a Microsoft Outlook node, which is configured to send an email. This node composes the email using the formatted summary and specifies the recipient's address, subject line, and body content. The email is then dispatched to the specified Outlook inbox.
Throughout this workflow, data flows seamlessly from one node to the next, ensuring that the latest market updates are efficiently gathered and delivered to the user's inbox.
