Extract Title tag and meta description from url for SEO analysis. How it works The workflows takes records from Airtable, get the url in the records and extract from the related webpage the title tag (<title>) and meta description (<meta name="description" content="Some content">). If title tag and/or meta description tag isn't available on the webpage, the result will be empty. Setup Set a Base in Airtable with a table with the following structure: url (field type url), title tag (field type text string), meta desc (field type text field) Minimum suggested table structure is: url (https://example.com), title (Title example), meta desc* (This is the meta description of the example page) Connect Airtable to both Airtable nodes in the template and, with the following formula, get all the records that miss title tag and meta desc. Formula: AND(url != "", {title tag} = "", {meta desc} = "") Insert the url to be analyzed in the table in the field url and let the workflow do the rest. Extra You can also calculate the length for title tag and meta desc using formula field inside Airtable. This is the formula: LEN({title tag}) or LEN({meta desc}) You can automate the process calling a Webhook from Airtable. For this, you need an Airtable paid plan.

Who Is This For? This workflow is perfect for content creators, marketers, and business professionals who receive regular newsletters and want to effortlessly convert them into engaging LinkedIn posts. By automating the extraction and repurposing process, you can save time and consistently share thoughtful updates with your network. What Problem Does This Workflow Solve? Manually reading newsletters, extracting the key points, and then formatting that content into professional, engaging LinkedIn posts can be time-consuming and error-prone. This workflow automates those steps by: Filtering Emails:** Uses the Gmail node to process only those emails from a specific sender (e.g., newsletter@example.com). Extracting Content:** Leverages OpenAI to identify and summarize the top news items in your newsletter. Generating Posts:** Crafts concise, insightful LinkedIn posts in a smart, deadpan style with a touch of subtle humor. Publishing:** Posts the generated content directly to LinkedIn. What This Workflow Does Filter Newsletters:** The Gmail node is set up to only handle emails from your chosen sender, ensuring that only relevant newsletters are processed. Extract Key Content:** An OpenAI node analyzes the newsletter text to pull out the most important news items, including headlines and summaries. Split Content:** A Split Out node divides the extracted content so each news item is processed on its own. Generate LinkedIn Posts:** Another OpenAI node takes each news item's details and produces a well-structured LinkedIn post that delivers practical insights and ends with a reflective observation or question. Publish to LinkedIn:** The LinkedIn node publishes the crafted posts directly to your account. Setup Gmail Node: Rename it to “Filter Gmail Newsletter” and configure it to filter emails by your newsletter sender. OpenAI Nodes: Ensure your OpenAI API credentials are set up correctly. Customize the prompt if needed to match your desired tone. LinkedIn Node: Rename it to “Post to LinkedIn” and confirm that your LinkedIn OAuth2 credentials are properly configured.

Google Sheets UI for Workflow Control This n8n template provides a practical and efficient way to manage your n8n workflows using Google Sheets as a user-friendly interface. It demonstrates how to leverage a simple spreadsheet to control inputs, capture outputs, and track the processing status of individual data rows, offering a clear and visual overview of your automation tasks. Purpose of This Template: The primary purpose of this template is to illustrate how Google Sheets can serve as a dynamic UI for your n8n automations. It's designed for n8n users who need: A structured method to feed specific data into their workflows. The ability to selectively trigger workflow execution based on data status. A centralized place to view and store workflow outputs alongside original inputs. A simple, no-code solution for managing workflow data without building custom applications. Setup Instructions: To use this template, follow these steps: Create a Google Sheet: Set up a new Google Sheet (see the template here) with three columns: Color, Status, and Number. Populate the Color column with some sample data (e.g., color names) and set the Status for the rows you want to process to READY. Import the n8n Workflow: Import this n8n template into your n8n instance. Configure Google Sheets Nodes: For the first Google Sheets node (Read operation), ensure it's connected to your newly created Google Sheet and configured to read rows where the Status column is READY. You will need to authenticate your Google Sheets account. For the second Google Sheets node (Update operation), ensure it's also connected to the same Google Sheet. The node should automatically map the row_number, Number, and Status fields from the preceding nodes. Execute the Workflow: Run the workflow. Observe how it reads READY rows, processes them (calculates string length), and updates the Number and Status columns in your Google Sheet to DONE. Control Execution: To process new data, simply add new rows to your Google Sheet and set their Status to READY. Rerunning the workflow will then only process these new entries. For more details and context on this approach, you can refer to the related blog post here.

Encode JSON to Base64 String in n8n This example workflow demonstrates how to convert a JSON object into a base64-encoded string using n8n’s built-in file processing capabilities. This is a common requirement when working with APIs, webhooks, or SaaS integrations that expect payloads to be base64-encoded. > Tip: The three green-highlighted nodes (Stringify → Convert to File → Extract from File) can be wrapped in a Subworkflow to create a reusable Base64 encoder in your own projects. 🔧 Requirements Any running n8n instance (local or cloud) No credentials or external services required What This Workflow Does Generates example JSON data Converts the JSON to a string Saves the string as a binary file Extracts the file’s contents as a base64 string Outputs the base64 string on the final node Step-by-Step Setup Manual Trigger Start the workflow using the Manual Execution node. This is useful for testing and development. Create JSON Data The Create Json Data node uses raw mode to construct a sample object with all major JSON types: strings, numbers, booleans, nulls, arrays, nested objects, etc. Convert to String The Convert to String node uses the expression ={{ JSON.stringify($json) }} to flatten the object into a single string field named json_text. Convert to File The Convert to File node takes the json_text value and saves it to a UTF-8 encoded binary file in the property encoded_text. Extract from File This node takes the binary file and extracts its contents as a base64-encoded string. The result is saved in the base64_text field. Customization Tips Replace the sample JSON in the Create Json Data node with your own payload structure. To make this reusable, extract the three core nodes into a Subworkflow or wrap them in a custom Function. Use the base64_text output field to post to APIs, store in databases, or include in webhook responses.
