Help me improve my automation logic in my workflow

the


It is my first workflow automation, and I need help to improve the automation logic. I recently finished Official Text Course Level 1 and built this myself:
It gets 20 blogs from RSS Read → Loops over items → Item is checked if it is stored in Airtable Database. If not, item is sent to Discord and is stored in Database, if yes then it skips the item and moves on to the next one → After the loop is done, it sends “That’s All!” message to discord.

I used everything I learned about n8n from Text course level one ( except manual https handling ) and came up with this structure for automation. I need feedback on how to improve it.

  • A few things that will immediately improve your workflows:

    • Add comments using sticky notes blocks

    • Tidy workflows with the shortcut: Alt/Opt + Shift + T

    • Have a clear plan of what your workflow is supposed to achieve

  • Group your workflows into CRUD blocks:

    • CREATE

    • READ

    • UPDATE

    • DELETE

  • As your workflows grow, split them into multiple workflows if needed (e.g., one workflow calling another)
