What does this template help with? Save the data of activities recorded and stored in Strava to a Google Sheets document. How it works: We have a Google Sheets spreadsheet where each row represents a Strava activity with the date, reference, distance, time, and elevation. Periodically, the workflow checks the latest activities in our Strava account to see if any are missing from the spreadsheet and adds them to the list. All fields must be properly formatted according to how they are stored in the Google Sheets spreadsheet. Set up instructions Complete the Set up credentials step when you first open the workflow. You'll need a Google Sheets and Strava account. In the 'activities' node, you must enter the name of the file and the sheet where you want to save the imported data. In the 'Strava' node, you must select the corresponding credential. You can adjust the format of dates, times, and distances according to your needs in the 'strava_last' node.

This template can be used to generate research questions from PDF documents (e.g. research papers, market reports) based on the content gaps found in text using the InfraNodus knowledge graph GraphRAG knowledge graph representation. Simply upload several PDF files (research papers, corporate or market reports, etc) and generate a research question / AI prompt in seconds. The template is useful for: generating research questions generating AI prompts that drive research further finding blind spots in any discourse and generating ideas that address them. avoiding the generic bias of LLM models and focusing on what's important in your particular context Using Content Gaps for Generating Research Questions Knowledge graphs represent any text as a network: the main concepts are the nodes, their co-occurrences are the connections between them. Based on this representation, we build a graph and apply network science metrics to rank the most important nodes (concepts) that serve as the crossroads of meaning and also the main topical clusters that they connect. Naturally, some of the clusters will be disconnected and will have gaps between them. These are the topics (groups of concepts) that exist in this context (the documents you uploaded) but that are not very well connected. Addressing those gaps can help you see which groups of concepts you could connect with your own ideas. This is exactly what InfraNodus does: builds the structure, finds the gaps, then uses the built-in AI to generate research questions that bridge those gaps. How it works 1) Step 1: First, you upload your PDF files using an online web form, which you can run from n8n or even make publicly available. 2) Steps 2-4: The documents are processed using the Code and PDF to Text nodes to extract plain text from them. 3) Step 5: This text is then sent to the InfraNodus GraphRAG node that creates a knowledge graph, identifies structural gaps in this graph, and then uses built-in AI to research questions / prompts. 4) Step 6: The ideas are then shown to the user in the same web form. Optionally, you can hook this template to your own workflow and send the question generated to an InfraNodus expert or your own AI model / agent for further processing. If you'd like to sync this workflow to PDF files in a Google Drive folder, you can copy our Google Drive PDF processing workflow for n8n. How to use You need an InfraNodus GraphRAG API account and key to use this workflow. Create an InfraNodus account Get the API key at https://infranodus.com/api-access and create a Bearer authorization key. Add this key into the InfraNodus GraphRAG HTTP node(s) you use in this workflow. You do not need any OpenAI keys for this to work. Optionally, you can change the settings in the Step 4 of this workflow and enforce it to always use the biggest gap it identifies. Requirements An InfraNodus account and API key Note: OpenAI key is not required. You will have direct access to the InfraNodus AI with the API key. Customizing this workflow You can use this same workflow with a Telegram bot or Slack (to be notified of the summaries and ideas). You can also hook up automated social media content creation workflows in the end of this template, so you can generate posts that are relevant (covering the important topics in your niche) but also novel (because they connect them in a new way).
