I want to build an automation in Make (make.com) – a daily news digest with RSS feeds, keyword filtering, and Claude AI summaries sent by email.**
Here’s what I’m trying to build:
Every day at 7 AM, I want Make to read the RSS feeds of four German news websites and filter new articles by specific keywords (in the title and body text of the Articles). The filtered articles should then be sent to Claude via API, using a prompt like this:
“You are an assistant to the managing director of xyz. Here is an article teaser from a German daily newspaper. Summarize in 3–4 sentences what it is about, and briefly assess whether and why the article is relevant to a managing director.”
The result should be a daily email digest listing the relevant articles with title, short AI-generated summary, relevance rating, and a link. Something like this:
FAZ – “Heat pump sales collapsing” Relevance: High. Article reports on declining sales figures and political reactions – directly relevant to our course planning in the heat pump sector. [Link]
Spiegel – “New GEG amendment planned” Relevance: High. New draft legislation could tighten requirements for existing buildings – important for our member companies and course offerings. [Link]
Zeit – “Tradespeople missing from the energy transition” Relevance: Medium. General piece on the skilled labor shortage – interesting as an argument for recruiting apprentices. [Link]
Has anyone built something like this? I tried a lot but didn’t manage to do it. Can anyone help? I’m pretty new btw.
what issues did you face with this when trying to build it? What do the articles look like when you pull them with the RSS module and what are you trying to filter by?
Im not sure how I can read out 4 RSS moduls at the same time and what moduls I need exactly for that whole szenario in the first place. I tried templates like that https://www.make.com/en/templates/12609-personalized-news-digest-rss-to-email (just for testing) but I need Claude as LLM. I also tried to connect my claude with make.com so that I can built it with claude, but that doesnt work…
Yeah so these are the two most common mistakes people make when approaching Make scenarios - trying to fit their flow to a template instead of the opposite; and relying on LLM to build the scenarios.
You can just add the 4 RSS modules each with a text aggregator one after the other. Then place filters between the RSS modules and the respective text aggregators to only allow the bundles you are interested in. After all that, put your AI module and feed the 4 chunks of text that the aggregators produced to do the summary and craft the email body. And finally send it.
Thank you very much for your help! One last question. Which Module do I need when using Claude as my LLM advising me which articles are relevant? The Anthropic Claude Module (e.g. “Create a Prompt”) or a HTTP Module?
We usually leave posts up, especially after they are resolved, so that other users who may be experiencing similar issues are able to refer to it in the future. Is there a particular reason you would like this post deleted?
