Overview: Automated WordPress Post Archiving This workflow is designed to maintain your blog's health and SEO by automatically moving old, published posts into a "draft" or "archive" state. This prevents outdated or low-traffic content from negatively impacting your site's performance and allows you to easily review and update them later. How It Works Quarterly Trigger: The workflow is set to run automatically on a recurring schedule, specifically on the 1st day of every 3rd month (quarterly). This ensures that your content is regularly audited without any manual intervention. Find Old Posts: The workflow connects to your WordPress site and fetches all published posts that are older than a specified time frame (in this case, 12 months). It uses the WordPress API's filtering capabilities to efficiently find the right content. Check if Posts Found: An If node checks if the previous step found any posts. This prevents the workflow from running further steps if there's nothing to archive. If no posts are found, the workflow ends and logs this. Archive Post: If posts are found, the workflow proceeds to update each one. It changes the post's status from publish to draft and automatically adds tags like archived and old-content for easy identification within your WordPress dashboard. Send Notification: After the archiving process is complete, the workflow sends an email notification to the administrator. This provides a summary of the activity, letting you know that the task has been completed. Setup Steps Configure WordPress Credentials: In both the Find Old Posts and Archive Post nodes, you need to add your WordPress credentials. This typically involves entering your site URL and creating an application password in your WordPress admin dashboard for secure API access. Set Up Email Credentials: In the Send Notification node, add your email service credentials (like SMTP or a Gmail account) to enable the workflow to send you the completion notification. Adjust the Archiving Period: In the Find Old Posts node, the current expression is {{ $now.minus({ months: 12 }).toISO() }} which archives posts older than 12 months. You can change the number of months to fit your content strategy (e.g., 24 for two years). Customize Tags: In the Archive Post node, you can customize the tags to better suit your needs. You can change or add new tags that will be applied to the archived posts. Activate the Workflow: Once all credentials and settings are configured, make sure to activate the workflow to set the quarterly schedule in motion.

🧾 Overview This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching user data from an API, verifying its validity, transforming the response, and then saving it to Google Sheets for team collaboration. Additionally, it generates a CSV backup file of the same data for offline access or external integrations. Perfect for developers, analysts, or teams who want an automated, no-code data ingestion and backup solution. ⚙️ Key Features 🔌 Fetches data from any REST API endpoint (e.g., RandomUser API) ✅ Validates successful API responses before processing 🧠 Transforms JSON response into simple key-value pairs (name and country) 📊 Appends data directly into Google Sheets 💾 Generates a downloadable CSV backup file 🧱 Modular design — easily customizable and extendable 🧱 Workflow Steps 1. Start Workflow Manually (Manual Trigger Node) The workflow starts manually by clicking Execute Workflow. You can later replace this with a Cron or Webhook trigger for automation. 2. Fetch User Data from API (HTTP Request Node) Makes an HTTP GET request to the configured API endpoint defined in the environment variable BASE_URL. Example: https://randomuser.me/api/?results=10 This node fetches raw user data in JSON format. 3. Verify API Response Success (If Node) Checks if the API response returned an HTTP 200 status code. ✅ If status = 200 → Continue processing data ❌ If status ≠ 200 → Trigger Stop and Error node to halt execution This prevents saving invalid or failed responses. 4. Transform API Data to Name and Country (Function Node) Formats the raw JSON data to extract key details (name and country) from each user record. Input Example: { "results": [ { "name": { "first": "John", "last": "Doe" }, "location": { "country": "United States" } } ] } Output Example: [ { "name": "John Doe", "country": "United States" } ] This step makes the data compatible with Google Sheets. 5. Append Data to Google Sheets (Google Sheets Node) Appends the formatted data to your specified Google Sheet. Environment Variables Required: GOOGLE_SHEET_ID → ID of your target Google Sheet Configuration: Range:** A:B Columns:** Name (A) and Country (B) Example Google Sheet: | Name | Country | | ---------- | ------------- | | John Doe | United States | | Jane Smith | Canada | 6. Create CSV Backup File (Spreadsheet File Node) Generates a .csv file named users_backup_export.csv containing all saved user data. This file can be: Stored locally Sent via email Uploaded to cloud storage (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) Used for external analytics tools ⚠️ Error Handling If the API response is invalid (non-200), the Stop on API Failure node halts the workflow and logs the error: > ❌ API request failed — status code not 200. Workflow stopped. This ensures only valid data is stored. 🧰 Setup Instructions Add Environment Variables: BASE_URL=https://randomuser.me/api/?results=10 GOOGLE_SHEET_ID=<your_google_sheet_id> Add Credentials: Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials API (if authentication is required) Run Workflow: Start manually or configure a Cron node to run periodically Check Output: Data appears in your Google Sheet CSV file is created in n8n’s file system 🧩 Customization Options | Goal | How to Modify | | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | Change API fields | Edit Transform API Data function to extract desired fields | | Add columns | Expand output object and update Google Sheets range (e.g., A:D) | | Automate execution | Replace manual trigger with a Cron or Webhook node | | Filter users | Add an If node after transformation to include/exclude data | | Send email notification | Add Gmail or SMTP node after CSV creation | 🧠 Example Use Case A recruiter fetches random candidate data daily from an HR API. Data (Name + Country) is saved to Google Sheets. A CSV backup is automatically generated for offline analysis. ✅ Benefits Hands-free automated data collection Centralized storage in Google Sheets for team access Built-in CSV export for reporting and backups Protects data integrity with API validation Fully customizable for any API format ✨ Tip: Add a Slack or Telegram node at the end to notify your team whenever new data is added successfully!

Description Automates daily CVE-driven scanning against bug bounty scopes. It fetches bug-bounty domains, pulls newly published Project Discovery templates, converts them to Nuclei rules, runs targeted scans, and emails findings. Objective Help security researchers and bug bounty hunters discover exploitable instances quickly by automatically running the latest public templates from Project Discovery against a consolidated bug-bounty scope. Reduce manual steps and maintain continuous reconnaissance. How it works The workflow accepts or fetches a domain list that covers HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti, and YesWeHack. It downloads the latest public templates from Project Discovery. For each new template published since the last run it: creates a file, uploads it to a remote host, and converts it to a Nuclei-compatible YAML. It uploads a consolidated domains wordlist to the remote host. It executes Nuclei with the new templates against the domains list using configured flags (concurrency, rate limits, severity tags). It collects and deduplicates Nuclei output. If results exist, it sends the findings via Gmail. Requirements • SSH access (root or equivalent) to a VPS or host. • Nuclei installed on the remote host. • Gmail OAuth2 credentials for sending notifications. • Recommended: VPS with enough CPU and network capacity for concurrent scanning when scope is large.

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. Dollar Cost Averaging with Uniswap V3 This workflow lets you set up an scheduled workflow to dollar cost average (DCA) into any token on a custom schedule using 1Shot API and the Uniswap V3 protocol. Choose your schedule input token and output token and optionally configure the workflow to send you notifications in Telegram everytime your workflow completes a swap. YouTube Tutorial You can watch the full end-to-end tutorial for this workflow on our YouTube channel. Wallet Delegation Importantly, this workflow uses Metamasks Delegation Framework which lets you DCA from an account you custody whithout ever exporting your private key or giving up control of your assets. Setup Create a free 1Shot API account, provision a server wallet to relay transactions, and generate an API key to connect to n8n. Import the following Uniswap contracts into your 1Shot API account for the chain you want to swap on: QuoterV2, SwapRouter02, and the token pool (needed to compute time-weighted average price (TWAP). Import the approve function for the ERC-20 token you want to use to purchase your target asset (this should be the token0 or token1 of the pool you imported in step 2). Click on the server wallet details you created, fund it with enough gas tokens to pay for your transactions, then generate a delegation for the SwapRouter02 contract and the ERC-20 token from steps 2 and 3. Import the DCA workflow and use your 1Shot API key/secret to create a credential. Point the 1Shot API nodes at the appropriate smart contract functions you imported in steps 2 and 3. In the Swap Configs node, set the amount of the in token you want to spend on each purchase - for example, if you are using USDC (which has 6 decimals) and you want to purchase $10 every purchase, then amountDCA should be 10000000. Also set the correct addresses for the SwapRouterV2, token0, token1 and fee of the pool you are using. Lastly, set the frequency of your DCA in the trigger node and activate! Optional Telegram Notifications You can configure a Telegarm bot to notifiy you everytime the workflow completes to send you a transaction has and you remaining balance in your purchasing funds.

This automation creates a fully integrated pipeline to generate AI-powered videos, store them, and publish them on TikTok — all automatically. It connects OpenAI Sora 2, and Postiz (for TikTok publishing) to streamline content creation. Key Benefits ✅ Full Automation – From text prompt to TikTok upload, everything happens automatically with no manual intervention once set up. ✅ Centralized Control – Google Sheets acts as a simple dashboard to manage prompts, durations, and generated results. ✅ AI-Powered Creativity – Uses OpenAI Sora 2 for realistic video generation and GPT-5 for optimized titles. ✅ Social Media Integration – Seamlessly posts videos to TikTok via Postiz, ready for your audience. ✅ Scalable & Customizable – Can easily be extended to other platforms like YouTube, Instagram, or LinkedIn. ✅ Time-Saving – Eliminates repetitive steps like manual video uploads or caption writing. How it works This workflow automates the end-to-end process of generating AI videos and publishing them to TikTok. It is triggered either manually or on a recurring schedule. Trigger & Data Fetch: The workflow starts by checking a specified Form for new entries. It looks for rows where a video has been requested (a "PROMPT" is filled) but not yet generated (the "VIDEO" column is empty). AI Video Generation: For each new prompt found, the workflow sends a request to the Fal.ai Sora 2 model to generate a video. It then enters a polling loop, repeatedly checking the status of the generation request every 60 seconds until the video is "COMPLETED". Post-Processing & Upload: Once the video is ready, the workflow performs several actions in parallel: Fetch Video & Store: It retrieves the final video URL, downloads the video file Generate Title: It uses the OpenAI GPT-4o-mini model to analyze the original prompt and generate an optimized, engaging title for the video. Publish to TikTok: The video file is uploaded to Postiz, a social media scheduling tool, which then automatically publishes it to a connected TikTok channel, using the AI-generated title as the post's caption. Set up steps To make this workflow functional, you need to complete the following configuration steps: Prepare the Google Sheet: Create a Form with at least "PROMPT", "DURATION", and "VIDEO" fields. Configure Fal.ai for Video Generation: Create an account at Fal.ai and obtain your API key. In both the "Create Video" and "Get status" HTTP Request nodes, set up the "Header Auth" credential. Set the Name to Authorization and the Value to Key YOUR_API_KEY. Set up TikTok Publishing via Postiz: Create an account on Postiz and connect your TikTok account to get a Channel ID. Obtain your Postiz API key. In the "Upload Video to Postiz" and "TikTok" (Postiz) nodes, configure the API credentials. In the "TikTok" node, replace the placeholder "XXX" in the integrationId field with your actual TikTok Channel ID from Postiz. (Optional) Configure AI Title Generation: The "Generate title" node uses OpenAI. Ensure you have valid OpenAI API credentials configured in n8n for this node to work. Need help customizing?
