detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly capture news articles from any website and store them directly in Google Sheets using this n8n workflow. Leverage AI to intelligently extract relevant data and maintain an organized repository of news content.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the process of scraping news articles from the web and storing them in a structured format within Google Sheets. It begins with a schedule trigger that initiates the workflow at your desired frequency. The core of the automation lies in the ScrapegraphAI node, which employs artificial intelligence to intelligently extract article details like title, URL, and category from a specified website using natural language prompts. The scraped data is then processed and formatted by a code node to ensure consistency and compatibility before being appended to your Google Sheet via the Google Sheets node. This solution is ideal for market research, competitive analysis, or simply staying informed about industry news.
Key Features
