Know when a package you depend on ships a new version
Watches the npm or PyPI packages you list and tells you when one releases — but only the kinds of release you asked for. Set it to major versions only and you hear about breaking changes without twenty patch notifications a week.
Who it is for
Anyone maintaining a project whose dependencies move faster than they can read release notes.
How to run it
- 1Open it on n8n.io
Hit the button above, then Use workflow to copy it into your own n8n. Free, self-hosted or cloud.
- 2Read the yellow note
Every one of these carries a note on the canvas listing exactly what to fill in. Start there.
- 3Connect your accounts
An Apify token for the data-gathering, plus whichever app you want the results in — Sheets, Notion, Slack, email.
- 4Run it once by hand
Check the output looks right before you switch the schedule on. Nothing runs until you do.
The tool it uses
The data-gathering happens here. You can open it on its own and run it without any of the rest.
