Automated local event monitor with Bright Data MCP and OpenAI analysis
This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n.
This workflow automatically monitors local event platforms (Eventbrite, Meetup, Facebook Events) and aggregates upcoming events that match your criteria. Never miss a networking or sponsorship opportunity again.
Overview
A scheduled trigger scrapes multiple event sites via Bright Data, filtering by location, date range, and keywords. OpenAI classifies each event (conference, meetup, workshop) and extracts key details such as venue, organizers, and ticket price. Updates are posted to Slack and archived in Airtable for quick lookup.
Tools Used
- n8n – Core automation engine
- Bright Data – Reliable multi-site scraping
- OpenAI – NLP-based event categorization
- Slack – Delivers daily event digests
- Airtable – Stores enriched event records
How to Install
- Import the Workflow: Add the
.jsonfile to n8n. - Configure Bright Data: Provide your account credentials.

Automated Local Event Monitor with Bright Data MCP and OpenAI Analysis
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for monitoring local events, extracting key details, and performing AI-driven analysis. It's designed to automate the process of gathering event information, structuring it, and then enriching it with insights from an AI model.
What it does
This workflow automates the following steps:
- Manual Trigger: The workflow is initiated manually, allowing for on-demand execution.
- Google Sheets (Placeholder): A Google Sheets node is present, suggesting an intended integration for either reading event data or writing processed results. Note: The current JSON does not specify an operation for this node, it's a placeholder.
- Edit Fields (Set): This node is used to manipulate or set specific data fields within the workflow. Note: The current JSON does not specify any fields being edited.
- Sticky Note: A sticky note is included for documentation or internal notes within the workflow.
- Code (Placeholder): A Code node is present, indicating an intention to execute custom JavaScript logic. Note: The current JSON does not contain any custom code.
- AI Agent (LangChain): This node likely orchestrates a series of AI tasks, potentially involving multiple tools and models, to process the event data.
- OpenAI Chat Model (LangChain): This node integrates with OpenAI's chat models, suggesting its use for conversational AI tasks, text generation, or advanced natural language understanding related to the event data.
- Auto-fixing Output Parser (LangChain): This node is designed to automatically correct and format the output from AI models, ensuring consistency and adherence to a desired structure.
- Structured Output Parser (LangChain): This node parses AI model outputs into a predefined structured format (e.g., JSON), making it easier to consume and use in subsequent steps.
- OpenAI (LangChain): This node represents a general integration with OpenAI services, which could be used for various AI tasks such as text generation, summarization, or classification of event details.
Prerequisites/Requirements
To use this workflow, you will need:
- n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
- OpenAI API Key: Credentials for OpenAI to utilize the AI Agent, OpenAI Chat Model, and OpenAI nodes.
- Google Account: If the Google Sheets node is to be fully implemented, a Google account with access to the target spreadsheet will be required.
Setup/Usage
- Import the workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- Set up your OpenAI API Key credentials within n8n.
- If activating the Google Sheets node, configure your Google Sheets credentials (OAuth 2.0 recommended).
- Review Placeholder Nodes:
- Examine the Google Sheets node and configure its operation (e.g., "Read Sheet," "Append Row") and specify the spreadsheet ID and range as needed.
- Inspect the Edit Fields node and define any specific data transformations or field assignments required.
- If custom logic is needed, add your JavaScript code to the Code node.
- Configure AI Nodes:
- Adjust the prompts, models, and parameters for the AI Agent, OpenAI Chat Model, and OpenAI nodes to align with your specific event analysis requirements.
- Ensure the Auto-fixing Output Parser and Structured Output Parser are correctly configured to handle the expected output format from your AI models.
- Execute Workflow: Click "Execute Workflow" to run the workflow manually and observe its output.

Demo Personalized Email This n8n workflow is built for AI and automation agencies to promote their workflows through an interactive demo that prospects can try themselves. The featured system is a deep personalized email demo. --- 🔄 How It Works Prospect Interaction A prospect starts the demo via Telegram. The Telegram bot (created with BotFather) connects directly to your n8n instance. Demo Guidance The RAG agent and instructor guide the user step-by-step through the demo. Instructions and responses are dynamically generated based on user input. Workflow Execution When the user triggers an action (e.g., testing the email demo), n8n runs the workflow. The workflow collects website data using Crawl4AI or standard HTTP requests. Email Demo The system personalizes and sends a demo email through SparkPost, showing the automation’s capability. Logging and Control Each user interaction is logged in your database using their name and id. The workflow checks limits to prevent misuse or spam. Error Handling If a low-CPU scraping method fails, the workflow automatically escalates to a higher-CPU method. ⚙️ Requirements Before setting up, make sure you have the following: n8n — Automation platform to run the workflow Docker — Required to run Crawl4AI Crawl4AI — For intelligent website crawling Telegram Account — To create your Telegram bot via BotFather SparkPost Account — To send personalized demo emails A database (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite) — To store log data such as user name and ID 🚀 Features Telegram interface using the BotFather API Instructor and RAG agent to guide prospects through the demo Flow generation limits per user ID to prevent abuse Low-cost yet powerful web scraping, escalating from low- to high-CPU flows if earlier ones fail --- 💡 Development Ideas Replace the RAG logic with your own query-answering and guidance method Remove the flow limit if you’re confident the demo can’t be misused Swap the personalized email demo with any other workflow you want to showcase --- 🧠 Technical Notes Telegram bot created with BotFather Website crawl process: Extract sub-links via /sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml, or standard HTTP requests Fall back to Crawl4AI if normal requests fail Fetch sub-link content via HTTPS or Crawl4AI as backup SparkPost used for sending demo emails --- ⚙️ Setup Instructions Create a Telegram Bot Use BotFather on Telegram to create your bot and get the API token. This token will be used to connect your n8n workflow to Telegram. Create a Log Data Table In your database, create a table to store user logs. The table must include at least the following columns: name — to store the user’s name or Telegram username. id — to store the user’s unique identifier.
