This n8n workflow automatically retrieves recent Reuters news articles related to a user-specified keyword, summarizes the main findings using Google Gemini, formats the output into styled HTML, and sends a clean email report to a specified address.

🔐 Credentials Used Bright Data API (replace YOUR_API_KEY in the HTTP nodes)

Google Gemini (Flash) API

Email SMTP (configured in Email Send node)

⚠️ Notes You must replace all YOUR_API_KEY placeholders in Bright Data request headers with your actual Bright Data API key. You can customize the keyword prompt and output style freely. I would recommend to keep the sort = relevance option for best chronological results - sorting by date is handled later.
