About This Workflow
This n8n workflow empowers you to effortlessly discover and analyze events happening around the globe. Leveraging the power of SerpApi's Google Events engine, it allows for customizable searches based on location, keywords, and desired event volume. The workflow then intelligently processes the raw data, flattening nested information and enriching each event with your search query. Finally, all extracted event details are appended to a designated Google Sheet, creating a centralized and actionable database. With a runtime of approximately 30-60 seconds and scalable by adjusting the event count, this solution provides on-demand event intelligence with minimal manual effort.
