Open-source n8n workflows turn web pages and RSS feeds into NotebookLM podcasts
10/05/2026 — 10/05, 13:59·1 sources·1 reports
Story overview
On October 5, 2026, a post on DEV Community introduced two free n8n workflows that send links into NotebookLM and bring back the finished podcast as an .m4a file. According to the author, the workflows pass content to NotebookLM through the useapi.net NotebookLM API, which the post also calls the Gemini Notebook API, and then retrieve the generated audio.
The two workflows handle different kinds of input. One takes the form of a form where a user pastes web pages and YouTube videos. The other watches a blog's RSS feed and turns every week's new posts into a single episode. The author says both are built using only core n8n nodes, and that they run on the user's own Google account. The code is published on GitHub under the MIT license and has been tested on self-hosted n8n 2.41.
That is where the project stands for now: the workflows have been released along with the author's stated test setup. The write-up does not describe any later update, and no other source has independently reviewed or verified the approach. Everything above comes from that single DEV Community post by the workflows' author, including the version numbers, the license, the API used, and the two use cases; the post offers no numbers on runtime, cost, or how many episodes the workflows have produced.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
