Who this is for? This workflow is designed for professionals and teams who need real-time, structured insights from Google Search results without manual effort. What problem is this workflow solving? This n8n workflow solves the problem of automating Google Search result extraction, cleanup, summarization, and AI-enhanced formatting for downstream use like sending the results to a webhook or another system. What this workflow does Automates Google Search via Bright Data Uses Bright Data’s proxy-based SERP API to run a Google Search query programmatically. Makes the process repeatable and scriptable with different search terms and regions/zones. Cleans and Extracts Useful Content The Google Search Data Extractor uses LLM based cleaning to remove HTML/CSS/JS from the response and extract pure text data. Converts messy, unstructured web content into structured, machine-readable format. Summarizes Search Results Through the Gemini Flash + Summarization Chain, it generates a concise summary of the search results. Ideal for users who don’t have time to read full pages of search results. Formats Data Using AI Agent The AI Agent acts like a virtual assistant that: Understands search results Formats them in a readable, JSON-compatible form Prepares them for webhook delivery Delivers Results to Webhook Sends the final summary + structured search result to a webhook (could be your app, a Slack bot, Google Sheets, or CRM). Setup Sign up at Bright Data. Navigate to Proxies & Scraping and create a new Web Unlocker zone by selecting Web Unlocker API under Scraping Solutions.

This n8n template reviews and audits recently active Google Drive files and reports on files with excessively open permissions. This shows how you can automate simple compliance tasks for access control management. File Sharing Permissions are routinely abused when access needs and scopes expand to many colleagues, clients and users. Often, granting excessively open permissions means you can get back to work rather than deal with numerous access request notifications. Whilst sometimes justified, the problem is that the permissions are rarely reverted to a safer setting at a later date when it is no longer needed. This template serves to improve your security posture by giving frequent reminders of these open files so that they can be actioned and not forgotten about. See example Audit Report here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V2aiLhp3_nH7EBniMn7D0kFHg7-A5NjpDZXMhb4F5UI/edit?gid=503992967 How it works A scheduled trigger runs everyday to generate a new audit report. A new sheet is created in a designated Google Sheets document to store the day's results. The Google Drive node is used with Advanced Search params to fetch recently modified files for the user with each file result containing the current permission settings. The results are filtered for those with publicly accessible "anyone with link" and sharing with external users via domain. The results are then manipulated into rows so that we can append them to the Sheet we created earlier. The audit Google Sheet is updated with the results and an audit report is sent to the user to action. How to use Set the scheduled trigger to a more appropriate interval which works for you or your organisation. Consider using allowlists for organisations you frequently share with to reduce the number of false positives. The results can be forwarded to other security or analytical products as required. Requirements Google Drive for Document Management Google Sheet for Reports and Data Collection Gmail to Email Reports Customising the workflow Not using Google? Apply the same approach using Microsoft Sharepoint or Dropbox. If your security policies require it, you could automate fixing the file permissions as a proactive action instead and notify the user later.

Use Case Manually extracting images from PDF files for analysis is often slow and inefficient. Many users resort to taking screenshots of each page, uploading them to an AI tool like OpenAI for image analysis, and then manually copying the insights into a document. This manual process is time-consuming and prone to errors. This workflow streamlines the entire process by automatically extracting images from a PDF, analyzing them using the GPT-4o model, and saving the results in seconds—eliminating the need for manual effort. What This Workflow Does Extracts all images from the uploaded PDF file automatically The workflow scans each page of the PDF and identifies embedded images without manual intervention. Uses the GPT-4o model to analyze each extracted image Each image is processed through GPT-4o to generate descriptive insights, summaries, or context-specific analysis depending on the use case. Saves the analysis results to a .txt file, including image URLs The final output is a plain text file containing both the image URLs (e.g., hosted on cloud storage) and the corresponding GPT-4o analysis, ready for further use or sharing. Setup 1.Set up your credentials when you first open the workflow. You’ll need accounts for OpenAI, Convert API, and Google Drive. 2.Convert API does not rate-limit your API, sometimes you may receive 503 service unavailable error. Nevertheless, it doesn’t mean that you cannot convert your file. It simply means that you should retry the conversion in a few seconds. 3.Upload a PDF with images to Google Drive. 4.Remove unnecessary parts and retrieve image-related information. 5.Integrate image and image analysis information together. 6.Analyze each image using the OPENAI GPT-4o model. 7.Retrieve all image analysis content and image URL 8.Integrate multiple image URLs and analysis content 9.Output content to a .txt file. Template was created in n8n v1.83.2 How to Customize Replace the manual trigger with a Google Drive trigger or other automation triggers Change the image analysis model (e.g., switch or fine-tune GPT-4o) Send the results to other platforms (e.g., Slack, Telegram, LINE, etc.) instead of saving to a .txt file

Who is this for? This template is designed for anyone who wants to integrate MCP with their AI Agents. Whether you're a developer, a data analyst, or an automation enthusiast, if you're looking to leverage the power of MCP and Google Calendar in your n8n workflows, this template is for you. What problem is this workflow solving? This template caters to MCP beginners seeking a hands - on example and developers looking to integrate Google Calendar MCP service. When integrating MCP with Google Calendar, manually updating AI Agents after changes to Google Calendar tools on the MCP Server is time - consuming and error - prone. This template automates the process, enabling the AI Agent to instantly recognize changes made to Google Calendar on the MCP Server. In project management, for example, it ensures that task schedule updates in Google Calendar are automatically detected by the AI Agent. With detailed steps, it simplifies the integration process for all users. What this workflow does This workflow focuses on integrating MCP with Google Calendar within n8n. Specifically, it allows you to build an MCP Server and Client using Google Calendar nodes in n8n. Any changes made to the Google Calendar tools on the MCP Server are automatically recognized by the MCP Client in the workflow. This means that you can make changes to your Google Calendar (such as adding, deleting, or modifying events) on the MCP Server, and the MCP Client in the n8n workflow will immediately detect these changes without any manual intervention. Setup Requirements An active n8n account. Access to Google Calendar API. You need to enable the Google Calendar API, and create the necessary credentials (OAuth 2.0 client ID). Basic knowledge of n8n workflows and MCP concepts. Step - by - step guide Create a new workflow in n8n: Log in to your n8n account and create a new workflow. Add Google Calendar nodes: Search for and add the Google Calendar nodes to your workflow. Configure the nodes with your Google Calendar API credentials. Set up the MCP Server and Client: Use the appropriate nodes in n8n to set up the MCP Server and Client. Connect the Google Calendar nodes to the MCP nodes as required. Test the workflow: Make some changes to your Google Calendar on the MCP Server and check if the MCP Client in the n8n workflow can detect these changes. How to customize this workflow to your needs If you want to customize this workflow, you can: Modify the triggers**: You can change the conditions under which the MCP Client detects changes. For example, you can set it to detect only specific types of events in Google Calendar. Integrate with other services**: You can add more nodes to the workflow to integrate with other services, such as sending notifications to Slack or saving data to a database when a change is detected.

This n8n template imports purchase order submissions from Outlook and converts attached purchase order forms in XLSX format into structured output. Data entry jobs with user-submitted XLSX forms are time consuming, incredibly mundane but necessary tasks which in likelihood are inherited and critical to business operation. While we could dream of system overhauls and modernisation, the fact is that change is hard. There is another way however - using n8n and AI! N8N offers an end-to-end solution to parse XLSX form attachments using LLM-powered OCR and send the extracted output to your ERP or otherwise. How it works An Outlook trigger is used to watch for incoming purchase order forms submitted via a shared inbox. The email attachment for the submission is a form in xlsx format - like this one Purchase Order Example - which is imported into the workflow. The 'Extract from File' node is used with the 'code' node to convert the xlsx file to markdown. This is so our LLM can understand it. The Information Extractor node is used to read and extract the relevant purchase order details and line items from the form. A simple validation step is used to check for common errors such as missing PO number or the amounts not matching up. A notification is automated to reply to the buyer if so. Once validation passes, a confirmation is sent to the buyer and the purchase order structured output can be sent along to internal systems. How to use This template only works if you're expecting and receiving forms in XLSX format. These can be invoices, request forms as well as purchase order forms. Update the Outlook nodes with your email or other emails as required. What's next? I've omitted the last steps to send to an ERP or accounting system as this is dependent on your org. Requirements Outlook for Emails Check out how to setup credentials here: https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/microsoft OpenAI for LLM document understanding and extraction. Customising the workflow This template should work for other Excel files. Some will be more complicated than others so experiment with different parsers and extraction tools and strategies. Customise the Information Extractor Schema to pull out the specific data you need. For example, capture any notes or comments given by the buyer.
