A governmental-ish site I'm required to use doesn't push notifications as mails, so you have to login daily to check for updates. Updates may happen multiple times daily or once a month. I automated my server to access the site once a day with my credentials, screenshot the notifications, parse them with ocr, and send myself a mail.

I'm not willing to run something that risky on my own infrastructure, therefore I wont run it. I can do all of those things with a handful of scripts or Home Assistant anyway.

That's pretty cool OP. I use n8n for various automation around the lab but the most recent would be an addition to my dashboard. The n8n routine will fetch the latest, animated, Solar Flare and Aura Forecast from sol24.net. I've always been fascinated with the sun and our atmosphere since I was a kid.

Tons of things 😊

• Built quite a few personal agents, long before OpenClaw or whatever that is
• Automated Social Media Images
• Set up a bot on Manifold Markets
• Created entire processes in our company using it for Sales, Marketing and Customer Support
• Automatically update the CRM using Macrodroid and n8n

• tons of other playing around.

One of the most amazing pieces of software I've ever used.

I personally use Node-RED for several automations myself. Is it worth switching to n8n?

I use it for just two things, triggering a download with a docker tool over a webhook call I use in a userscript and calling a webhook of a media server on local file changes
