About This Workflow
Never miss an important European Union event again. This n8n workflow automates the process of collecting event information from the official EU website. It intelligently navigates through event pages, extracts crucial details like event names, dates, and links, and then meticulously stores this data in your designated Google Sheet.

- Scheduled Execution: Run the workflow automatically at a time that suits your needs.
How To Use
- Schedule Trigger: Configure the
Schedule Triggernode to run the workflow at your desired frequency (e.g., daily at 8:30 AM). - Page Iteration: The
Initiate Static Datanode initializes the page counter. Thepage+1node increments it for subsequent requests. - HTTP Request: The
Query EU Websitenode fetches the HTML content of the EU events page, using the dynamic page number. - HTML Extraction: Use the
Extract Blocksnode to parse the HTML and isolate the relevant event details using CSS selectors. - Data Aggregation & Storage: The
Store Tablesnode appends newly scraped events to a global list. TheLoad Old Recordsnode retrieves existing data from your Google Sheet, andAggregateprepares the data for comparison. - Duplicate Check: The
Events Already Existing?node compares new events against your Google Sheet to prevent duplicates. - Google Sheets Write: If no duplicates are found, the
googleSheetsnode (not explicitly shown but implied in a complete workflow) would write the new event data to your Google Sheet. - Delay: The
15 secnode adds a delay between requests to avoid overwhelming the target website.
