Claude Blog Monitor
Monitor the Anthropic blog on a schedule and Slack-notify your team on new Claude posts.
Claude Blog Monitor
Stay on top of Anthropic's latest Claude announcements without manual checking. This workflow crawls the Anthropic blog on a cron schedule and fires a Slack alert the moment a new post appears.
What this workflow does
- Cron trigger fires every hour (configurable)
- Crawler node scrapes the Anthropic blog index and extracts the latest headline
- Redis GET retrieves the last-seen headline from cache
- Condition node compares the two — fires only when a new post is detected
- New post → Slack alert + Redis SET to update the cache
- No change → Output node logs a no-op
Use cases
- AI research team pulse monitoring
- Developer relations tracking
- Competitor feature announcement alerts
Setup
Update the Slack channel in the Slack node. Redis cache is self-managing — no manual initialisation needed.
