About This Workflow
Overview
This n8n workflow is designed to automate the process of scraping web content from various sources, processing it, and storing it for later use. It utilizes schedule triggers to initiate the process at defined intervals. The httpRequest nodes are used to fetch content from RSS feeds or specific URLs. The splitOut node then separates individual items from the fetched data. The core of the scraping is handled by an AI-powered httpRequest node (Firecrawl) which extracts the main content of a URL, formats it as markdown, and can exclude specific HTML tags. Finally, the processed markdown content is converted into a file and uploaded to Google Drive using the googleDrive node. This workflow is particularly useful for content aggregators, researchers, or anyone needing to systematically collect and archive web content.
