Automated morning music with Pipedream, Huginn, and Mailbrew

1

Zapier

To do this we are going to use Pipedream. It is a more developer oriented Zapier alternative for automating workflows. One of the benefits compared to Zapier is that you can run any Node.js code you like as a step. I've written about Huginn in the past as a self-hosted Zapier alternative. You can do everything in Huginn if you wish but I wanted an excuse to give Pipedream a try.

Mailbrew

To do this I use an app called Mailbrew. It can create custom newsletters for you from Twitter data, Reddit subreddits, RSS feeds, and much more. I find it handy for setting up summaries of subreddits so that I don't have to refresh Reddit all day. If you want to try Mailbrew and want to support this blog then feel free to use my referral code to sign up. I would really appreciate it! Now, of course you don't have to use Mailbrew for this. This example will assume that we are using Mailbrew or something similar.
