About This Workflow
This n8n workflow offers a powerful solution for automated news intelligence. It begins by robustly scraping targeted web pages for article links and their publication dates, intelligently filtering for the most recent content within a defined timeframe (e.g., the last 7 days). For each qualifying article, the workflow navigates to its individual page, extracts the full title and body content, and then leverages advanced AI (OpenAI's GPT-4) to perform two critical tasks: generating a succinct summary (under 70 words) and identifying the top three technical keywords. This end-to-end automation transforms raw web data into actionable, categorized insights, saving countless hours in manual research and content analysis.
Key Features
- Automated Web Scraping: Reliably extracts article links, dates, titles, and full content from complex HTML structures using specific CSS selectors.
- Date-Based Filtering: Automatically filters articles to only process content published within a custom-definable period (e.g., the last 7 days).
- AI-Powered Summarization: Generates concise, 70-word summaries for each article using OpenAI's GPT-4, perfect for quick overviews.
- Intelligent Keyword Extraction: Identifies and extracts the 3 most important technical keywords per article, aiding in categorization and topic identification.
- Seamless Data Integration: Merges all extracted data points (links, dates, titles, content, summaries, keywords) into a unified, structured output.
How To Use
- Configure Initial Scraping: Update the first "Extract the HTML with the right css class" and "Extract date" HTML nodes with the CSS selectors specific to the news source you wish to monitor for links and dates on its main listing page.
- Adjust Date Filter: In the "Select posts of last 7 days" Code node, modify the
currentDate.setDate(currentDate.getDate() - 7)variable if you need to go back more or fewer than 7 days (e.g.,-3for 3 days or-30for a month). - Set Up Article Content Extraction: For the "HTTP Request1" node, ensure the URL expression
{{ $json["Link"] }}correctly references your extracted link. In the "Extract individual posts" HTML node, update the CSS selectors (h1.fl-heading > span:nth-child(1)for title and.fl-node-5c7574ae7d5c6 > div:nth-child(1)for content) to accurately match the structure of individual article pages on your target website. - OpenAI Credentials: Ensure your OpenAI credentials are correctly set up and linked to the "Summary" and "Keywords" nodes for AI processing.
- Customize AI Prompts (Optional): Adjust the prompts in the "Summary" and "Keywords" OpenAI nodes if you require different summary lengths, keyword types, or output formats. For example, change
less than 70 wordstoless than 100 wordsortechnical keywordstomain topics. - Define Output: The final "Merge ChatGPT output with Date & Link" node provides a comprehensive output. Connect it to your desired destination (e.g., a database, Google Sheet, Slack, or email) to complete your automation loop.
