Flow Overview

Step 1: Trigger; Daily Timer

Configured with:

{

"cron": "0 9 * * *",

}

Step 2: Fetch Blog Content

Returns raw HTML/text content from the blog.

Here is the code, in case someone needs it:

export default defineComponent({

description: "Fetch HTML content from a blog URL and extract the text content",

type: "action",

props: {

url: {

type: "string",

label: "Blog URL",

description: "The URL to fetch HTML content from",

default: "https://lwid.dk/becoming-a-tour-guide-in-denmark-internationals-can-do-it-too/"

}

},

async run({ $ }) {

// Fetch HTML content

const htmlResponse = await axios($, {

url: this.url,

method: "GET"

})

// Parse HTML and extract text content

const $html = cheerio.load(htmlResponse)

const textContent = $html('body').text().replace(/\s+/g, ' ').trim()

// Export summary

$.export("$summary", `Successfully extracted text content from ${this.url} (${textContent.length} characters)`)

return {

url: this.url,

textContent: textContent,

htmlLength: htmlResponse.length,

textLength: textContent.length

}

})
