Share Product Hunt Matches to Slack

Find Product Hunt launches relevant to a topic and share the results with a Slack channel.

Setup

Create an Airtop API key and connect Slack. In Open Flow, create a secret Variable named AIRTOP_API_KEY with the key, set the topic in Prepare the product search, and select a Slack channel in Post the launches to Slack. In n8n, connect Airtop and Slack, set the topic in Define relevant products, and select a Slack channel. Activate one format.

Behavior

Every day at 06:00 UTC, Airtop opens Product Hunt and extracts up to five launches matching the topic. A result containing [NA] produces no Slack message; otherwise the returned text is posted. Open Flow runs on the minute boundary; n8n uses a fixed second within that minute. Results are AI-generated and should be checked before use.

Open Flow checks readiness up to 60 times, five seconds apart, then closes its session after a successful query before posting. If an earlier request fails, the session can remain until Airtop’s idle timeout. An unknown request outcome may have created a session or sent a message; inspect the service before retrying. There is no automatic deduplication or replay.

Inspiration & credits

Changes to the source

Replace the private Slack channel and use UTC instead of the source instance timezone. Open Flow uses the published Airtop session, window and page-query HTTP APIs because no Airtop Provider or Action was available in the checked catalog.
Open Flow closes a completed session before posting; the original n8n node relies on its session setting.
