This n8n template can monitor and detect changes to a webpage's contents and notify you only when a change occurs. Great to keep an eye on and track publicly available documents such as company TOS, government policy or competitor pages. How it works A scheduled trigger is used so we can run everyday to automate this process. A website page is then fetched with the HTTP request node and the contents we want to track are extracted using the HTML node. To detect changes, we generate a hash on the contents with the cryptography node and compare it with previously seen hashes using the "remove duplicates" node. If the hash was seen before, the workflow stops here. Finally, when new changes are detected a copy of the contents are uploaded to Google Drive and a logged into a Google sheet. A notification email can also be sent if action is required. How to use Update the URL you want to track in the node named "variables" and ensure the HTML node has updated selectors to get the content you want. Ensure the timezone is set correctly when using the Scheduled Trigger node. Requirements Google Sheets, Drive and Gmail for storing and notifying about changes. Webpages should ideally be publicly accessible. If not, you may need to switch the HTTP request node with a webscraping service. Customising this workflow Not using Google? Easier swap to other Service providers such as Miscrosoft365. Need more URLs? Try modifing the variables node to accept multiple URLs though the HTML node will need to be customised.

This n8n template imports an XLSX containing terms dates for a university, extracts the relevant events using AI and converts the events to an ICS file which can be imported into iCal, Google Calendar or Outlook. Manually adding important term dates to your calendar by hand? Stop! Automate it with this simple AI/LLM-powered document understanding and extraction template. This cool use-case can be applied to many scenarios where Excel files are predominantly used. How it works The term dates excel file (xlsx) are imported into the workflow from the university's website using the http request node. To parse the excel file, we use an external service - Cloudflare's Markdown Conversion Service. This converts the excel's sheets into markdown tables which our LLM can read. To extract the events and their dates from the markdown, we can use the Information Extractor node for structured output. LLMs are great for this use-case because they can understand the layout; one row may have many data points. With our data, there are endless possibilities to use it! But for this demonstration, we'll generate an ICS file so that we can import the extracted events into our calendar. We use the Python code node to combine the events into the ICS spec and the "Convert to File" node to create the ICS binary. Finally, let's distribute the ICS file by email to other students or instructors who may also find this incredibly helpful for the upcoming semester! How to use Ensure you're downloading the correct excel file and amend the URL parameter of the "Get Term Dates Excel" as necessary. Update the gmail node with your email or other emails as required. Alternatively, send the ICS file to Google Drive or a student portal. Requirements Cloudflare Account is required to use the Markdown Conversion Service. Gemini for LLM document understanding and extraction. Gmail for email sending. Customising the workflow This template should work for other Excel files which - for a university - there are many. Some will be more complicated than others so experiment with different parsers and extraction tools and strategies.

How it works: This project creates a personal AI assistant named Angie that operates through Telegram. Angie can summarize daily emails, look up calendar entries, remind users of upcoming tasks, and retrieve contact information. The assistant can interact with users via both voice and text inputs. Step-by-step: Telegram Trigger: The workflow starts with a Telegram trigger that listens for incoming message events. The system determines if the incoming message is voice or text. If voice, the voice file is retrieved and transcribed to text using OpenAI's API Speech to Text AI Assistant: The telegram request is passed to the AI assistant (Angie). Tools Integration: The AI assistant is equipped with several tools: Get Email: Uses Gmail API to fetch recent emails, filtering by date. Get Calendar: Retrieves calendar entries for specified dates. Get Tasks: Connects to a Baserow (open-source Airtable alternative) database to fetch to-do list items. Get Contacts: Also uses Baserow to retrieve contact information. Response Generation: The AI formulates a response based on the gathered information and sends back to the user on Telegram

This n8n template demonstrates how to automate invoice data extraction from PDF attachments received via Gmail. Using LlamaParse and Gemini LLM, this workflow parses structured fields like PO numbers, line items, tax amounts, and totals — and stores them neatly into a Google Sheet. Perfect for use cases such as: 💼 Finance teams managing vendor invoices 📊 Bookkeeping workflows 🔄 Automating monthly reconciliation Good to Know At the time of writing, LlamaParse and Gemini may involve API usage costs depending on your subscription tier. Check LlamaIndex Pricing and Gemini Pricing for updated info. LlamaParse provides Markdown-formatted parsed output which is then passed to an LLM for structured field extraction. Gemini models may be geo-restricted. If you encounter "model not found" errors, your region might not be supported. How it Works Trigger: Watches your Gmail for new emails with PDF attachments. Email Filter: Ensures we only parse fresh emails not already labeled as "invoice synced". LlamaParse Upload: Uploads the PDF to LlamaParse’s parsing endpoint. Status Polling: Periodically checks whether the parsing is complete. Download Markdown: Once ready, it fetches the parsed invoice in Markdown format. AI Parsing with Gemini: Sends the Markdown to Gemini LLM to extract structured JSON (like PO number, line items, taxes, etc.) using a predefined schema. Google Sheets Upload: Stores extracted data into a predefined spreadsheet. Labeling: Marks the email as “invoice synced” to avoid reprocessing. How to Use The trigger is based on Gmail, but you can replace this with a webhook or manual trigger for testing. Setup Instructions Gmail API Enable Gmail API in Google Cloud Console. Connect your Gmail account in n8n credentials. Allow read + modify access. Google Sheets Create a new Google Sheet with the following headers (row 1): Date | Vendor Name | Invoice Number | PO Number | Line Items | Subtotal | Tax | Total Amount Connect Google Sheets in n8n and paste the Sheet ID in the node.

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. Overview When applying for freelance jobs on Upwork, minutes matter. The first quality application is more often than not the one that's ultimately selected. Subscribers to Upwork's Freelancer Plus receive email job alerts, but filters are very limited. As a result, it takes a lot of time to manually go through each email and determine if each job fits your criteria. This workflow scans your Gmail every few minutes, finds all Upwork job alerts, scores them based on your profile/preferences, and sends a Slack channel message for jobs that are strong potential matches. How it works Scans Gmail for Upwork job alerts every few minutes Extracts all available job data from each email Scores the job based on profile information and criteria you provide Sends a Slack notification for all jobs that meet a given score threshold Disclaimers This workflow polls Gmail for new messages every 10 minutes. A workflow execution will be used each time, regardless of whether the Gmail scan finds anything. You may want to adjust this frequency based on the amount of workflow executions you want to use. The AI matching process is based only on the information included in the email body (job title, description snippet and metadata). It is against Upwork's Terms of Service to scrape a full job posting. Despite this, the quality of the results in our testing is high for most use cases. Required Setup Subscribe to Upwork's Freelancer Plus plan to enable job alerts ($19.99/mo at the time of this posting) Create Gmail and Open Router (or an LLM provider of your choice) credentials and select them in the Gmail / LLM Model nodes Create a Slack app that has at least the chat:write.public and channels:read scopes, install it into your workspace, and use your apps OAuth Token to create a Slack API credential in n8n IMPORTANT: In the "Opportuntity Scorer" node, replace the text in between the <my_profile> tags with your freelancer bio. For best results, include as much detail as possible about your skillset, experience, tool familiarity, and job preferences. Update the filter with your notification threshold preference(s) and update the Slack channel to send notifications to in the last Slack node If you have any questions or feedback about this workflow, or would like me to build custom workflows for your business, email me at n8n@paperjam.agency.
