Automate Twitter sentiment analysis with OpenAI, Google Sheets, and Slack alerts
β What problem does this workflow solve?
Tracking what people say about your brand on Twitter can be overwhelming, especially when important mentions slip through the cracks. This workflow automates the process: it scrapes Twitter mentions, analyzes sentiment using OpenAI, logs everything in a Google Sheet, and sends real-time Slack alerts for negative tweets. No manual monitoring needed.
βοΈ What does this workflow do?
- Runs on a schedule to monitor Twitter mentions or hashtags.
- Uses Apify to scrape tweets based on brand keywords.
- Filters out tweets already processed (avoids duplicates).
- Performs sentiment analysis with OpenAI (Positive, Neutral, Negative).
- Logs tweet content, sentiment, and reply (if any) in a Google Sheet.
- Sends an instant Slack notification for negative tweets.
- Generates thank-you replies for positive tweets and logs them.
π§ Setup Instructions
π Schedule Trigger
- Use the Cron node to schedule checks (e.g., every hour, daily).
π¦ Apify Twitter Scraper Setup
- Sign up on Apify
- Generate your Apify API Token and use it in the HTTP node to run the actor and get tweet results.
π€ OpenAI Sentiment Analysis
- Get your API key from OpenAI
π Google Sheet Configuration
Prepare a Google Sheet with this sample format.
Connect it using the Google Sheets node in n8n.
π¬ Slack Notifications
- Connect your Slack workspace via the Slack node.
- Set up the channel where negative tweets should be sent as alerts.
π§ How it Works
1. Scheduled Run
Triggered at a fixed interval using the Schedule (Cron) node.
2. Scrape Mentions from Twitter
- The Apify actor runs and collects recent tweets mentioning your brand or using your hashtag.
- Links to the tweets are extracted.
3. Filter Previously Seen Tweets
- Each tweet is checked against the Google Sheet.
- If already present, itβs skipped to avoid duplicate analysis.
4. Analyze Sentiment with OpenAI
- For new tweets, sentiment is classified into:
- β Positive
- βͺ Neutral
- β Negative
5. Store Results in Google Sheet
- The tweet link, content, and sentiment are stored in a row.
- If sentiment is positive, a thank-you reply is also generated and saved.
6. Notify Slack for Negative Tweets
- When a tweet is tagged Negative, a Slack message is sent to the designated channel with the tweet link.
π€ Who can use this?
This workflow is ideal for:
- π’ Social Media Teams

Automated Twitter Sentiment Analysis with OpenAI, Google Sheets, and Slack Alerts
This n8n workflow automates the process of analyzing sentiment from Twitter data, storing the results in Google Sheets, and sending alerts to Slack for specific sentiment categories. It leverages OpenAI's language models for sentiment analysis, making it a powerful tool for monitoring brand perception, campaign performance, or general public opinion.
What it does
This workflow streamlines the sentiment analysis process through the following steps:
- Triggers on a Schedule: The workflow runs periodically (e.g., every hour, daily) to fetch new data.
- Fetches Data from Google Sheets: It reads a specified range of data from a Google Sheet, likely containing Twitter tweets or other text for analysis.
- Processes Data in Batches: To handle large datasets efficiently and manage API limits, the workflow splits the incoming data into manageable batches.
- Analyzes Sentiment with OpenAI: For each item in a batch, it uses an OpenAI Chat Model to perform sentiment analysis. The model is configured to output a structured JSON object containing the sentiment (e.g., "Positive", "Negative", "Neutral") and a brief explanation.
- Parses OpenAI Output: A Structured Output Parser extracts the sentiment and explanation from OpenAI's response.
- Categorizes Sentiment: A Switch node categorizes the sentiment into "Positive", "Negative", or "Neutral" based on the OpenAI output.
- Updates Google Sheets:
- For "Positive" and "Neutral" sentiments, it appends the original text, sentiment, and explanation to a "Processed" sheet in Google Sheets.
- For "Negative" sentiments, it appends the data to a "Negative" sheet in Google Sheets.
- Sends Slack Alerts for Negative Sentiment: If the sentiment is "Negative", the workflow sends a detailed alert to a specified Slack channel, including the original text, the detected negative sentiment, and OpenAI's explanation.
Prerequisites/Requirements
To use this workflow, you will need:
- n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
- OpenAI API Key: An API key for OpenAI to access their language models for sentiment analysis.
- Google Account: A Google account with access to Google Sheets. You will need to create or specify the spreadsheet and sheets for input and output.

- Google Sheets Credentials: Configured Google Sheets credentials in n8n.
- OpenAI Credentials: Configured OpenAI credentials in n8n.
- Slack Credentials: Configured Slack credentials in n8n.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow: Download the workflow JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- Google Sheets: Set up your Google Sheets credentials. You'll need to authorize n8n to access your Google Sheets.
- OpenAI: Set up your OpenAI API key as a credential in n8n.
- Slack: Set up your Slack credentials. You'll need to authorize n8n to post messages to your Slack workspace.
- Update Google Sheets Node (ID: 18):
- Specify the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet Name where your raw Twitter data or text for analysis is located.
- Adjust the Range if necessary to read the relevant data.
- Configure AI Agent (ID: 1119):
- Ensure your OpenAI Chat Model (ID: 1153) is correctly configured with your OpenAI credential.
- Review the prompt for the AI Agent to ensure it aligns with your desired sentiment analysis criteria.
- Configure Google Sheets Nodes (for output):
- For the "Processed" and "Negative" sentiment branches, update the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet Names to where you want the results to be written.
- Configure Slack Node (ID: 40):
- Specify the Channel where negative sentiment alerts should be posted.
- Activate the Workflow: Once all configurations are complete, activate the workflow. It will run according to the schedule defined in the "Schedule Trigger" node (ID: 839). You can also manually test it by clicking "Execute Workflow".
