Hello n8n community! I want to #share an interesting workflow automation that I run daily at the company.
Idea
Create an automatic system to send motivational quotes with morning greetings to the team every day, helping everyone have more positive energy to start the new day.
Tools used
Main API: https://zenquotes.io/
- Free 100%
- Provides thousands of great quotes
- Special endpoint:
/api/image– returns a direct beautiful quote image
Detailed Workflow
Step 1: Schedule Trigger
- Set to run automatically at 8:00 AM every day
- Or can be customized according to the team’s working hours
Step 2: Fetch Quote Image
GET https://zenquotes.io/api/image
- Each call will receive a different quote image
- Images are high quality, professionally designed
Step 3: OpenAI Enhancement (Optional)
- Use AI to analyze the quote content
- Automatically generate a suitable morning greeting text
- Add personalization and fun
Step 4: Distribution
