Substack Gateway Batch Feed
AI-generatedSummary
Polls a Substack Gateway batch Atom feed for the specified profile handles and emits feed entries as n8n items. The node registers the handle list with the gateway on each poll and tracks entries between polls to avoid re-emitting items.
Inputs
- Poll Times — Choose one or more polling schedules, such as every minute, hour, day, week, month, an interval in minutes or hours, or a custom cron expression.
- Handles (required) — Comma-separated Substack profile handles to include. Whitespace is trimmed, duplicate handles are removed, and at least one handle must remain.
- Emit Only New Items — Defaults to true. On the first poll for a feed registration, skips existing entries; set false to emit them. Later polls emit entries newer than the saved checkpoint.
- Maximum Entity Count — Maximum XML entities processed while parsing the Atom feed; defaults to 10,000.
- Request Timeout — Feed request timeout in seconds; defaults to 900.
Output shape
A batch of n8n items, one per emitted Atom feed entry; returns no items when there are no entries to emit.
Each item can include id, type, title, link, updated, published, author, and summary when present in the feed. In manual mode, all parsed entries are returned without checkpoint filtering. Polling mode stores feed registration and entry checkpoint data as node static data; changing the registration clears the prior checkpoint. Requires Substack Gateway credentials and a gateway that supports batch feed registration and Atom feed features.
