Weekly Buttondown Report Sent to Discord

A weekly n8n workflow rolls up all your Buttondown subscribers from the last 7 days into a summary, then has Discord post a message to a Discord channel so your team never has to dig for the numbers.

  1. 1

    Fetch Buttondown data

    Add an HTTP Request node (or the native Buttondown node if you have credentials set up) and point it at the Buttondown API. Run on a weekly Schedule Trigger and fetch this week's subscribers. Add a Schedule Trigger before it if this recipe runs on a timer, or a Webhook node if Buttondown can push events directly.

  2. 2

    Shape the data with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the fetch step to pull out the fields you need — e.g. id, title (or name), status, and updated_at from the Buttondown subscriber. This keeps the rest of the workflow clean and readable.

  3. 3

    Send it to Discord

    Add an HTTP Request node, set Method to POST, and paste your Discord channel webhook URL. Set Body Content Type to JSON with a content field built from the Set-node fields.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right corner. Trigger a real subscriber in Buttondown (or run the workflow manually against existing data) and confirm it lands correctly in Discord. Once verified, this runs hands-off.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to code anything?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop builder. You connect your Buttondown and Discord accounts, map the fields, and activate — no code required.

Where do I get my Buttondown API credentials?

In your Buttondown account settings, look for "API", "Developers" or "Integrations" and generate an API key or token. Paste it into n8n's HTTP Request node (as a header or credential) or the native Buttondown node if one is available.

Can I filter which items trigger this workflow?

Yes. Add an `IF` node after the Set node with a condition on any field (status, amount, tag, etc.). Wire the TRUE branch to the Discord step and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.
