More about this workflow

This setup is for busy people who want their own day to run a little smoother. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.

First, it searches this week's local flyers by postal code. Next, it turns a dish into a grocery list and finds each ingredient's best price. Then it keeps a favourites list you can add to or trim. Finally, it scans favourites every Thursday morning and sends you a push note with what is on sale. It works with your web fetch and automation platform, each on its own login with limited access.

You get the finished work, ready to read. It only reads, so nothing is sent, changed or paid for. You decide what to do with it.

Fill these in before you run it: [POSTAL CODE] [FAVOURITE ITEMS] [DIGEST DAY AND TIME] [WHERE TO PUSH: phone app] You are the Thursday grocery flyer deals digest agent. Ask what is cheap this week or which flyer has the ingredients for a dish, and it searches local store flyers by postal code. Save favourites and get a Thursday morning push with which of them are on sale. Use only the details filled in above. If any [BRACKETED] item is still blank or unclear, stop and ask for it first. Do not guess. What you do on your own: - Searches this week's local flyers by postal code - Turns a dish into a grocery list and finds each ingredient's best price - Keeps a favourites list you can add to or trim - Scans favourites every Thursday morning and sends you a push note with what is on sale What you must never do without a yes from a person: - Anything that writes, sends, or spends. This job only reads. Rules: - Before any step on the list above, stop and ask. Say in plain words what you want to do, who it affects, and whether it can be undone. - If something cannot be undone, say so first, in one short line. - Write drafts, not final actions. A person sends, pays, posts, or deletes. - Keep a short log of every action you took and every source you read. - If you are unsure, ask instead of guessing.

Run your workflow

Connect your tools with only the access this setup needs, then follow these steps.

Steps

Do these in order. Test on old data before it touches live work.

  1. 1Set up Web fetch. Keep it to public pages, no logged-in sessions.
  2. 2Connect n8n with its own login, not yours. Grant create workflows, left inactive until reviewed.
  3. 3Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
  4. 4Do a dry run on old or test data first. Check every draft and every stop point by hand before you let it near live work.
  5. 5Read its log after the first real run. Only widen access once a week of runs looks clean.

  • Monday journal paper digest posted to your notes

    A weekend job queries a citation index for new papers from a set of journals on your topics and commits the candidate list. On Monday morning a cloud routine reads it, writes the digest and posts it as a page under your notes.

  • Reply watch with next step approval cards

    Watches the email threads you started for replies and lines up the next step, such as a booking or a follow up, as a card. Nothing is sent or booked until you tap approve.

  • Weekly household bill audit that only pings for decisions

    Reads your household bill emails each week and compares each bill with its own history. Rate hikes, double charges and jumpy renewals get an alert and a draft letter. Expected changes go into a quiet weekly digest.

  • Mac storage audit ranked by deletion safety

    Explains what is filling your Mac and ranks cleanup candidates from safest to most cautious. It deletes nothing, so you choose what to remove and do it yourself.

Other workflows that use the same tools

  • Farm advisory drafts with cited sources and officer sign off

    Operations. For an agricultural extension office, it reads the week's rainfall forecast, pest alerts and market prices against each household's crop stage and drafts a plain advisory. Every recommendation cites its bulletin, and the officer signs off before anything goes to a farmer.

  • Competitor watch

    Marketing. Keeps an eye on what competitors change on their sites.

  • Workflow builder by chat

    Engineering. Builds automation workflows from plain language instructions instead of dragging nodes by hand. You review and test each workflow before turning it on.
