About This Workflow
How it Works
This n8n workflow leverages the Perplexity AI API to perform sophisticated research based on user-provided topics. It then takes the structured research output and transforms it into a well-formatted HTML article, adhering to specific formatting guidelines. The workflow is designed to be highly configurable, allowing for manual input of article structure and metadata, and can be triggered via a webhook, making it ideal for automated content generation pipelines.
The core of the workflow involves:
- Perplexity API Interaction: Utilizing the
ai_toolnode to send a research prompt to Perplexity AI, requesting information on a specified topic. - Response Processing: The response from Perplexity is processed, with specific parameters set for the model (
gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18is specified, though the Perplexity node itself usesllama-3.1-sonar-small-128k-online), temperature, and other API settings. - HTML Article Generation: A dedicated prompt within the
ai_toolnode instructs the model to convert the research output into a single-line HTML document. This involves strict formatting rules, such as using<h1>for titles,<h2>for subheadings,<p>for paragraphs, and<blockquote>for quotes, while avoiding certain HTML tags (<html>,<body>,<style>,<head>). - Input Schema Definition: A detailed input schema defines the expected structure for article data, including category, title, metadata (time posted, author, tag), content (main text, sections with title, text, and quote), and hashtags. This ensures that when the workflow is integrated, it receives data in a predictable format.
- Error Handling: A conditional 'If' node is present, indicating logic for handling cases where no topic is provided, returning an error message.
Key Features
- Automated Perplexity Research: Integrates directly with Perplexity AI for up-to-date research capabilities.
- HTML Article Generation: Converts research findings into clean, single-line HTML documents.
- Strict Formatting Compliance: Enforces specific HTML structure and tag usage for consistent output.
- Configurable Input Schema: Defines a clear structure for article data, facilitating integration.
- Webhook Trigger: Allows for external system integration and automated workflow execution.
- Error Handling: Includes basic logic for managing missing input data.
- Customizable AI Model: Supports selection of different AI models for text generation.
How To Use
- Set up Credentials: Configure your OpenAI API key and Perplexity API credentials in n8n.
- Trigger the Workflow: Send a POST request to the workflow's webhook URL with a JSON payload containing your research topic.
- Define Article Structure (Optional but Recommended): For custom formatting and metadata, ensure your input payload adheres to the defined
inputSchemafor thearticleobject. - Process Output: The workflow will return a JSON object containing the generated HTML article's title and content. This output can then be used by downstream nodes or external systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this workflow utilizes the Perplexity AI API and potentially OpenAI's API (depending on the specific AI model selected). You will need to have valid API keys for these services configured in your n8n credentials to run the workflow successfully.
The workflow includes a conditional 'If' node that checks for the presence of a topic. If no topic is provided, it is designed to return an error message, preventing further processing and informing the user of the missing input.
While the workflow enforces specific HTML tags and structure, the `text` parameter within the `ai_tool` node contains a prompt that dictates the conversion. You can modify this prompt to introduce more specific HTML formatting instructions or to tailor the tone and style of the generated content. However, ensure any modifications maintain the single-line document requirement and avoid disallowed tags.

Was looking for a way to automate Perplexity research and output it as readable HTML. This workflow does exactly that. Had a minor hiccup with API key setup, but the docs were clear. Loving the LLM flexibility in n8n!

The strict HTML formatting is a lifesaver. No more wrestling with messy markdown or trying to clean up AI-generated code. This workflow directly outputs usable HTML. Highly recommend for anyone building automated content systems.
