Workflow Templates

This template provides a fully automated system for monitoring news on any topic you choose. It leverages Linkup's AI-powered web search to find recent, relevant articles, extracts key information like the title, date, and summary, and then neatly organizes everything in an Airtable base. Stop manually searching for updates and let this workflow deliver a curated news digest directly to your own database, complete with a Slack notification to let you know when it's done. This is the perfect solution for staying informed without the repetitive work. Who is this for? Marketing & PR professionals:** Keep a close eye on industry trends, competitor mentions, and brand sentiment. Analysts & researchers:** Effortlessly gather source material and data points on specific research topics. Business owners & entrepreneurs:** Stay updated on market shifts, new technologies, and potential opportunities without dedicating hours to reading. Anyone with a passion project:** Easily follow developments in your favorite hobby, field of study, or area of interest. What problem does this solve? Eliminates manual searching:** Frees you from the daily or weekly grind of searching multiple news sites for relevant articles. Centralizes information:** Consolidates all relevant news into a single, organized, and easily accessible Airtable database. Provides structured data:** Instead of just a list of links, it extracts and formats key information (title, summary, URL, date) for each article, ready for review or analysis. Keeps you proactively informed:** The automated Slack notification ensures you know exactly when new information is ready, closing the loop on your monitoring process. How it works Schedule: The workflow runs automatically based on a schedule you set (the default is weekly). Define topics: In the Set news parameters node, you specify the topics you want to monitor and the time frame (e.g., news from the last 7 days). AI web search: The Query Linkup for news node sends your topics to Linkup's API. Linkup's AI searches the web for relevant news articles and returns a structured list containing each article's title, URL, summary, and publication date. Store in Airtable: The workflow loops through each article found and creates a new record for it in your Airtable base. Notify on Slack: Once all the news has been stored, a final notification is sent to a Slack channel of your choice, letting you know the process is complete and how many articles were found. Setup Configure the trigger: Adjust the Schedule Trigger node to set the frequency and time you want the workflow to run. Set your topics: In the Set news parameters node, replace the example topics with your own keywords and define the news freshness that you'd like to set. Connect your accounts: Linkup: Add your Linkup API key in the Query Linkup for news node. Linkup's free plan includes €5 of credits monthly, enough for about 1,000 runs of this workflow. Airtable: In the Store one news node, select your Airtable account, then choose the Base and Table where you want to save the news. Slack: In the Notify in Slack node, select your Slack account and the channel where you want to receive notifications. Activate the workflow: Toggle the workflow to "Active", and your automated news monitoring system is live! Taking it further Change your database:* Don't use Airtable? Easily swap the *Airtable* node for a *Notion, **Google Sheets, or any other database node to store your news. Customize notifications:* Replace the *Slack* node with a *Discord, **Telegram, or Email node to get alerts on your preferred platform. Add AI analysis:** Insert an AI node after the Linkup search to perform sentiment analysis on the news summaries, categorize articles, or generate a high-level overview before saving them.

Who is this for? This workflow is for content creators, social media managers, marketing teams, and virtual assistants who want to automatically repurpose YouTube videos into ready-to-post social media content. If you need to quickly turn long-form videos into short posts for platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, this workflow saves you hours of manual work. What problem is this workflow solving? Manually extracting ideas from YouTube videos, writing captions, creating images, and preparing social media posts takes a lot of time and effort. This workflow automates the entire process: it reads the video, generates posts with captions and AI images, and organizes everything into Airtable. It lets you focus more on growing your audience instead of spending hours repurposing content. What this workflow does Watches a YouTube channel RSS feed for new videos. Extracts the video transcript automatically using Dumpling AI. Summarizes and transforms the transcript into 3 social media captions (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) using OpenAI. Generates 3 unique AI image prompts. Sends the prompts to Dumpling AI to create realistic social media images. Saves the captions and attaches the AI images into Airtable, ready for posting. Setup RSS Feed Setup Get your YouTube channel’s RSS feed URL. Insert the URL into the RSS Trigger node. This will monitor for new YouTube uploads automatically. Dumpling AI Setup for Transcript Extraction Sign up at Dumpling AI. Get your Dumpling AI API Key. In the first HTTP Request node after the RSS trigger, insert your API Key (use HTTP Header Authentication). This sends the YouTube URL to Dumpling AI’s /extract-transcript endpoint. OpenAI Setup for Caption and Prompt Generation Get your OpenAI API Key. In the OpenAI node, connect your account. The AI will: Generate 3 platform-specific captions. Generate 3 creative prompts to design images related to the video. Edit Fields Node This node organizes the generated captions and prompts into separate fields for easy Airtable mapping. Captions are split for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Dumpling AI Setup for AI Image Generation After the Edit Fields node, the second HTTP Request node sends the image prompt to Dumpling AI’s /generate-image endpoint. This returns a realistic AI-generated image. Airtable Setup for Saving Posts (Without Image First) Create a new base in Airtable with the following fields: Platform (Single select: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) Content (Long text field) Image (Attachment field) Connect your Airtable Personal Access Token to the Airtable node. The Airtable node saves the generated captions into separate records, initially without images. Upload Generated Images Back to Airtable The third HTTP Request node PATCHES the Airtable record. It updates the Image field with the generated AI image from Dumpling AI. Credentials Required Dumpling AI API Key (for transcript extraction and AI image generation) OpenAI API Key (for caption and prompt creation) Airtable Personal Access Token (for inserting and updating records) How to customize this workflow to your needs Change the OpenAI prompt to generate captions in your brand tone (e.g., friendly, professional, witty). Modify the image prompts to match your design style better. Adjust the Airtable base fields if you want to add more platforms or content formats. Add scheduling tools like Buffer or Metricool to automatically post from Airtable. ⚡ Quick Tips Make sure Dumpling AI credits are active to allow transcript and image generation. Set Airtable permissions properly so PATCH requests can update attachments.

This workflow helps SEO teams catch top movers in Google Search Console by comparing daily performance across keyword segments like brand, nonbrand, and content categories. Instead of serving as a routine check, it highlights the queries and pages with the biggest jumps or drops, making it ideal for spotting wins, losses, or unexpected shifts early. How It Works Runs daily on a scheduled trigger (e.g. every morning). Pulls GSC data for the prior two days (e.g. yesterday vs. day before). Segments traffic by keyword type or URL pattern (e.g. brand, nonbrand, recipes, blogs, etc.). Calculates changes in clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position. Flags top movers with the biggest positive or negative deltas. Sends structured reports via Slack or email, grouped by segment and sorted by impact. Setup Steps Connect your Google Search Console account and optionally Gmail or Slack. Swap in your own domain(s) and customize segmentation logic (e.g. brand terms, path filters). By default, the workflow includes Slack alerts, but these can be easily switched to or combined with email, webhook, or other channels. Full setup takes around 15–20 minutes with working GSC credentials. Note: The “recipes” segment is included as an example of how to segment content. This can be changed to match blog, FAQ, product pages, or any other category.

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. 🚀 What It Does Collects news data from Bright Data's Reuters dataset. Sorts and filters top 10 most recent news articles by publication_date. Sends structured news data to Gemini Flash for summarization. Converts Gemini's response (in Markdown) into styled HTML. Delivers a concise news briefing via email, including clickable source links and topic highlights. 🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup User Form: Accepts a keyword from the user via an n8n form trigger. Bright Data API: Posts a discover_new request to Bright Data's Reuters dataset using the keyword. Snapshot Polling: Waits and checks for dataset readiness using the snapshot ID. Data Retrieval: Downloads the news data once the snapshot is complete. Parsing: Filters and sorts the latest 10 articles using a Python Code node. AI Analysis: Google Gemini summarizes the filtered content into one briefing. Markdown → HTML: Converts AI response into styled HTML using Markdown + Code node. Email Delivery: Sends the briefing as an email to a predefined recipient. 🧠 How It Works Polling Control: Uses Wait and If nodes to handle Bright Data snapshot readiness. Date Sorting: Publication dates (ISO 8601 format) are parsed and used for sorting. AI Summarization: Gemini condenses multiple articles into one cohesive summary. Formatting: Clean HTML with readable styles is generated dynamically before sending. 📨 Final Output The email includes: A brief summary of the most important developments Date range of the collected news Topics covered 🔐 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.

This n8n template allows you to automatically create shortened URLs using the TinyURL API by simply sending a webhook request. It's a quick and efficient way to integrate URL shortening into your automated workflows, ideal for sharing long links in social media, emails, or other applications. 🔧 How it works Receive Link Webhook: This node acts as the entry point for the workflow. It listens for incoming POST requests and expects a JSON body containing the url to be shortened and your api_key for TinyURL. Create TinyURL: This node sends a POST request to the TinyURL API, passing the long URL and your API key. It can also accept optional parameters like domain, alias, and description to customize the shortened link. Respond with Shortened URL: This node sends the response from the TinyURL API (which includes the new shortened URL) back to the service that initiated the webhook. 👤 Who is it for? This workflow is ideal for: Content Managers & Marketers: Quickly shorten links for campaigns, social media posts, or tracking. Developers: Automate the process of link shortening within applications or scripts. Automation Enthusiasts: Integrate a URL shortener into various n8n workflows (e.g., after generating a report, before sending a notification). Anyone needing on-demand short links: A flexible solution for ad-hoc link shortening. 📑 Data Structure When you trigger the webhook, send a POST request with a JSON body structured as follows: { "api_key": "YOUR_TINYURL_API_KEY", "url": "https://www.verylongwebsite.com/path/to/specific/page?param1=value1&param2=value2", "domain": "tinyurl.com", // Optional: defaults to tinyurl.com "alias": "myCustomAlias", // Optional: desired custom alias for the link "description": "My project link" // Optional: description for the link } The workflow will return the JSON response directly from the TinyURL API, which will include the short_url and other details about the newly created link. ⚙️ Setup Instructions Obtain TinyURL API Key: Before importing, make sure you have an API key from TinyURL. You can typically get this by signing up for an account on their website. Import Workflow: In your n8n editor, click "Import from JSON" and paste the provided workflow JSON. Configure Webhook Path: Double-click the Receive Link Webhook node. In the 'Path' field, set a unique and descriptive path (e.g., /shorten-link). Activate Workflow: Save and activate the workflow. 📝 Tips Dynamic Inputs: The workflow is set up to dynamically use the url, api_key, alias, and description from the incoming webhook data. This makes it highly flexible. Error Handling: You can add an Error Trigger node to catch any issues (e.g., invalid API key, malformed URL) during the TinyURL creation process. Configure it to send notifications or log errors for easy troubleshooting. Post-Shortening Actions: After generating the shortened URL, you can insert additional nodes before the Respond with Shortened URL node to perform other actions. For example, you could: Save to a Database: Store the original and shortened URLs in a database like Airtable, Google Sheets, or a PostgreSQL database. Send a Message: Automatically send the shortened URL via Slack, Discord, email, or SMS. Update a Record: Update a CRM record or project management task with the new shortened link. Custom Domains: If you have a custom domain configured with your TinyURL account, you can change the domain parameter in the Create TinyURL node to use it.

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. **Alternatively, you can delete the community node and use the HTTP node instead. ** Most email agent templates are fundamentally broken. They're stateless—they have no long-term memory. An agent that can't remember past conversations is just a glorified auto-responder, not an intelligent system. This workflow is Part 1 of building a truly agentic system: creating the brain. Before you can have an agent that replies intelligently, you need a knowledge base for it to draw from. This system uses a sophisticated parser to automatically read, analyze, and structure every incoming email. It then logs that intelligence into a persistent, long-term memory powered by mem0. The Problem This Solves Your inbox is a goldmine of client data, but it's unstructured, and manually monitoring it is a full-time job. This constant, reactive work prevents you from scaling. This workflow solves that "system problem" by creating an "always-on" engine that automatically processes, analyzes, and structures every incoming email, turning raw communication into a single source of truth for growth. How It Works This is an autonomous, multi-stage intelligence engine. It runs in the background, turning every new email into a valuable data asset. Real-Time Ingest & Prep: The system is kicked off by the Gmail Trigger, which constantly watches your inbox. The moment a new email arrives, the workflow fires. That email is immediately passed to the Set Target Email node, which strips it down to the essentials: the sender's address, the subject, and the core text of the message (I prefer using the plain text or HTML-as-text for reliability). While this step is optional, it's a good practice for keeping the data clean and orderly for the AI. AI Analysis (The Brain): The prepared text is fed to the core of the system: the AI Agent. This agent, powered by the LLM of your choice (e.g., GPT-4), reads and understands the email's content. It's not just reading; it's performing analysis to: Extract the core message. Determine the sentiment (Positive, Negative, Neutral). Identify potential red flags. Pull out key topics and keywords. The agent uses Window Buffer Memory to recall the last 10 messages within the same conversation thread, giving it the context to provide a much smarter analysis. Quality Control (The Parser): We don't trust the AI's first draft blindly. The analysis is sent to an Auto-fixing Output Parser. If the initial output isn't in a perfect JSON format, a second Parsing LLM (e.g., Mistral) automatically corrects it. This is our "twist" that guarantees your data is always perfectly structured and reliable. Create a Permanent Client Record: This is the most critical step. The clean, structured data is sent to mem0. The analysis is now logged against the sender's email address. This moves beyond just tracking conversations; it builds a complete, historical intelligence file on every person you communicate with, creating an invaluable, long-term asset. Optional Use: For back-filling historical data, you can disable the Gmail Trigger and temporarily connect a Gmail "Get Many" node to the Set Target Email node to process your backlog in batches. Setup Requirements To deploy this system, you'll need the following: An active n8n instance. Gmail** API credentials. An API key for your primary LLM (e.g., OpenAI). An API key for your parsing LLM (e.g., Mistral AI). An account with mem0.ai for the memory layer.

What this workflow does Automatically triages risky AWS misconfigurations and alerts your team. Pipeline: Security Hub or AWS Config -> EventBridge rules -> SNS (HTTP) -> n8n Webhook -> Normalize -> AI Prioritizer -> Airtable (log) -> Gmail (email) Normalizes incoming findings (S3 / Security Groups / IAM / RDS) into a consistent JSON. Uses an LLM to assign a priority (P0–P3) with rationale and remediation steps. Upserts the finding into Airtable (avoids duplicates). Emails a compact incident summary to your inbox. This can be swapped for Microsoft Teams or Slack, etc. Category: Security / Cloud / Alerting Time to set up: ~10–15 minutes Difficulty: Beginner–Intermediate Cost: Mostly free (n8n CE + AWS SNS/EventBridge; OpenAI + Airtable/Gmail as used) What you’ll need An n8n instance reachable over HTTP. AWS account (one region) with permissions to create SNS topics and EventBridge rules. Security Hub** enabled (or AWS Config rules that emit compliance events). n8n credentials: OpenAI, Airtable, Gmail. Nodes used Webhook** (POST /aws-misconfig) Code:** SNS Handler (token check, confirm/unwrap) IF:** route mode === "confirm" vs notification HTTP Request:** SNS SubscriptionConfirmation (GET) Code:** Normalize Finding Message a model:** AI Prioritizer (JSON out) Airtable:** Create/Upsert Gmail:** Send message Edit Fields:** final JSON response Setup steps Import and activate the workflow in n8n. Webhook Respond: When Last Node Finishes -> First Entry JSON. Append a shared secret to the URL, e.g. ?token=MY_SUPER_TOKEN, and keep the check in the SNS Handler code node. Create an SNS topic (e.g., misconfig-events) in the same region as your EventBridge rules. Create EventBridge rules targeting the SNS topic: Rule A (Security Hub): source = aws.securityhub, detail-type = Security Hub Findings - Imported Rule B (AWS Config): source = aws.config, detail-type = Config Rules Compliance Change Create an SNS subscription with Protocol = HTTP and Endpoint = your production webhook URL: http://YOUR_HOST:5678/webhook/aws-misconfig?token=MY_SUPER_TOKEN (The workflow auto-confirms the subscription on first POST.) Configure Airtable (Upsert on Finding ID) and Gmail recipients.
