How it works

Start every morning on a positive note! This workflow automates delivering a curated summary of positive news directly to your mailbox. It automatically:

  • Fetches the latest articles from a dedicated "good news" source (like Good News Network) every morning.

  • Uses Artificial Intelligence to summarize each positive article concisely.

  • Compiles these summaries into a clear and uplifting daily digest.

  • Sends the daily digest to your specified email address.

Say goodbye to doomscrolling and hello to your dose of daily inspiration!

Set up steps

Setting up this workflow is straightforward, typically taking around 10-15 minutes. You'll need to:

  • Authenticate your preferred email service (e.g., Gmail).

  • Obtain an API key for your chosen AI service (e.g., OpenAI).

All detailed setup instructions and specific configuration guidance are provided within the workflow itself using sticky notes.

Daily Positive News Digest with OpenAI and Gmail

This n8n workflow automates the creation and delivery of a daily positive news digest, leveraging OpenAI for content generation and Gmail for email distribution. It's designed to provide a curated dose of uplifting news directly to your inbox.

What it does

  1. Schedules Daily Execution: The workflow is triggered daily by a Cron job.
  2. Generates Positive News: Uses the OpenAI API to generate a summary of positive news.
  3. Conditional Email Sending: Checks if the generated content from OpenAI is valid.
  4. Sends Email Digest: If the content is valid, it sends an email containing the positive news digest via Gmail to a specified recipient.

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 its language model capabilities.
  • Gmail Account: A configured Gmail credential in n8n for sending emails.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow:
    • Copy the provided JSON code.
    • In your n8n instance, go to "Workflows" and click "New".
    • Click the "Import" button (cloud icon) and paste the JSON code.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • OpenAI Node:
      • Click on the "OpenAI" node.
      • Under "Credentials", select an existing OpenAI API credential or create a new one by providing your OpenAI API Key.
    • Gmail Node:
      • Click on the "Gmail" node.
      • Under "Credentials", select an existing Gmail credential or create a new one. This typically involves authenticating with your Google account.
  3. Customize the Workflow:
    • Cron Node (ID: 7): Adjust the schedule as needed (e.g., specific time, frequency).
    • Function Node (ID: 14): This node likely contains the prompt for OpenAI. You can modify the JavaScript code to refine the request for positive news. For example, you might specify keywords, desired length, or tone.
    • Gmail Node (ID: 356):
      • Set the "To" email address to where you want to receive the digest.
      • Customize the "Subject" and "Body" of the email. The body will likely reference the output from the OpenAI node.
  4. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow by toggling the "Active" switch in the top right corner of the workflow editor.

The workflow will now run on its defined schedule, generating and sending your daily positive news digest.

AI-powered code review with linting, red-marked corrections in Google Sheets & Slack

Advanced Code Review Automation (AI + Lint + Slack) Who’s it for For software engineers, QA teams, and tech leads who want to automate intelligent code reviews with both AI-driven suggestions and rule-based linting — all managed in Google Sheets with instant Slack summaries. How it works This workflow performs a two-layer review system: Lint Check: Runs a lightweight static analysis to find common issues (e.g., use of var, console.log, unbalanced braces). AI Review: Sends valid code to Gemini AI, which provides human-like review feedback with severity classification (Critical, Major, Minor) and visual highlights (red/orange tags). Formatter: Combines lint and AI results, calculating an overall score (0–10). Aggregator: Summarizes results for quick comparison. Google Sheets Writer: Appends results to your review log. Slack Notification: Posts a concise summary (e.g., number of issues and average score) to your team’s channel. How to set up Connect Google Sheets and Slack credentials in n8n. Replace placeholders (<YOURSPREADSHEETID>, <YOURSHEETGIDORNAME>, <YOURSLACKCHANNEL_ID>). Adjust the AI review prompt or lint rules as needed. Activate the workflow — reviews will start automatically whenever new code is added to the sheet. Requirements Google Sheets and Slack integrations enabled A configured AI node (Gemini, OpenAI, or compatible) Proper permissions to write to your target Google Sheet How to customize Add more linting rules (naming conventions, spacing, forbidden APIs) Extend the AI prompt for project-specific guidelines Customize the Slack message formatting Export analytics to a dashboard (e.g., Notion or Data Studio) Why it’s valuable This workflow brings realistic, team-oriented AI-assisted code review to n8n — combining the speed of automated linting with the nuance of human-style feedback. It saves time, improves code quality, and keeps your team’s review history transparent and centralized.

Auto-reply & create Linear tickets from Gmail with GPT-5, gotoHuman & human review

This workflow automatically classifies every new email from your linked mailbox, drafts a personalized reply, and creates Linear tickets for bugs or feature requests. It uses a human-in-the-loop with gotoHuman and continuously improves itself by learning from approved examples. How it works The workflow triggers on every new email from your linked mailbox. Self-learning Email Classifier: an AI model categorizes the email into defined categories (e.g., Bug Report, Feature Request, Sales Opportunity, etc.). It fetches previously approved classification examples from gotoHuman to refine decisions. Self-learning Email Writer: the AI drafts a reply to the email. It learns over time by using previously approved replies from gotoHuman, with per-classification context to tailor tone and style (e.g., different style for sales vs. bug reports). Human Review in gotoHuman: review the classification and the drafted reply. Drafts can be edited or retried. Approved values are used to train the self-learning agents. Send approved Reply: the approved response is sent as a reply to the email thread. Create ticket: if the classification is Bug or Feature Request, a ticket is created by another AI agent in Linear. Human Review in gotoHuman: How to set up Most importantly, install the gotoHuman node before importing this template! (Just add the node to a blank canvas before importing) Set up credentials for gotoHuman, OpenAI, your email provider (e.g. Gmail), and Linear. In gotoHuman, select and create the pre-built review template "Support email agent" or import the ID: 6fzuCJlFYJtlu9mGYcVT. Select this template in the gotoHuman node. In the "gotoHuman: Fetch approved examples" http nodes you need to add your formId. It is the ID of the review template that you just created/imported in gotoHuman. Requirements gotoHuman (human supervision, memory for self-learning) OpenAI (classification, drafting) Gmail or your preferred email provider (for email trigger+replies) Linear (ticketing) How to customize Expand or refine the categories used by the classifier. Update the prompt to reflect your own taxonomy. Filter fetched training data from gotoHuman by reviewer so the writer adapts to their personalized tone and preferences. Add more context to the AI email writer (calendar events, FAQs, product docs) to improve reply quality.

Ai website scraper & company intelligence

AI Website Scraper & Company Intelligence Description This workflow automates the process of transforming any website URL into a structured, intelligent company profile. It's triggered by a form, allowing a user to submit a website and choose between a "basic" or "deep" scrape. The workflow extracts key information (mission, services, contacts, SEO keywords), stores it in a structured Supabase database, and archives a full JSON backup to Google Drive. It also features a secondary AI agent that automatically finds and saves competitors for each company, building a rich, interconnected database of company intelligence. --- Quick Implementation Steps Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON file into your n8n instance. Install Custom Community Node: You must install the community node from: https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-crawl-and-scrape FIRECRAWL N8N Documentation https://docs.firecrawl.dev/developer-guides/workflow-automation/n8n Install Additional Nodes: n8n-nodes-crawl-and-scrape and n8n-nodes-mcp fire crawl mcp . Set up Credentials: Create credentials in n8n for FIRE CRAWL API,Supabase, Mistral AI, and Google Drive. Configure API Key (CRITICAL): Open the Web Search tool node. Go to Parameters → Headers and replace the hardcoded Tavily AI API key with your own. Configure Supabase Nodes: Assign your Supabase credential to all Supabase nodes. Ensure table names (e.g., companies, competitors) match your schema. Configure Google Drive Nodes: Assign your Google Drive credential to the Google Drive2 and save to Google Drive1 nodes. Select the correct Folder ID. Activate Workflow: Turn on the workflow and open the Webhook URL in the “On form submission” node to access the form. --- What It Does Form Trigger Captures user input: “Website URL” and “Scraping Type” (basic or deep). Scraping Router A Switch node routes the flow: Deep Scraping → AI-based MCP Firecrawler agent. Basic Scraping → Crawlee node. Deep Scraping (Firecrawl AI Agent) Uses Firecrawl and Tavily Web Search. Extracts a detailed JSON profile: mission, services, contacts, SEO keywords, etc. Basic Scraping (Crawlee) Uses Crawl and Scrape node to collect raw text. A Mistral-based AI extractor structures the data into JSON. Data Storage Stores structured data in Supabase tables (companies, company_basicprofiles). Archives a full JSON backup to Google Drive. Automated Competitor Analysis Runs after a deep scrape. Uses Tavily web search to find competitors (e.g., from Crunchbase). Saves competitor data to Supabase, linked by company_id. --- Who's It For Sales & Marketing Teams: Enrich leads with deep company info. Market Researchers: Build structured, searchable company databases. B2B Data Providers: Automate company intelligence collection. Developers: Use as a base for RAG or enrichment pipelines. --- Requirements n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud) Supabase Account: With tables like companies, competitors, social_links, etc. Mistral AI API Key Google Drive Credentials Tavily AI API Key (Optional) Custom Nodes: n8n-nodes-crawl-and-scrape --- How It Works Flow Summary Form Trigger: Captures “Website URL” and “Scraping Type”. Switch Node: deep → MCP Firecrawler (AI Agent). basic → Crawl and Scrape node. Scraping & Extraction: Deep path: Firecrawler → JSON structure. Basic path: Crawlee → Mistral extractor → JSON. Storage: Save JSON to Supabase. Archive in Google Drive. Competitor Analysis (Deep Only): Finds competitors via Tavily. Saves to Supabase competitors table. End: Finishes with a No Operation node. --- How To Set Up Import workflow JSON. Install community nodes (especially n8n-nodes-crawl-and-scrape from npm). Configure credentials (Supabase, Mistral AI, Google Drive). Add your Tavily API key. Connect Supabase and Drive nodes properly. Fix disconnected “basic” path if needed. Activate workflow. Test via the webhook form URL. --- How To Customize Change LLMs: Swap Mistral for OpenAI or Claude. Edit Scraper Prompts: Modify system prompts in AI agent nodes. Change Extraction Schema: Update JSON Schema in extractor nodes. Fix Relational Tables: Add Items node before Supabase inserts for arrays (social links, keywords). Enhance Automation: Add email/slack notifications, or replace form trigger with a Google Sheets trigger. --- Add-ons Automated Trigger: Run on new sheet rows. Notifications: Email or Slack alerts after completion. RAG Integration: Use the Supabase database as a chatbot knowledge source. --- Use Case Examples Sales Lead Enrichment: Instantly get company + competitor data from a URL. Market Research: Collect and compare companies in a niche. B2B Database Creation: Build a proprietary company dataset. --- WORKFLOW IMAGE --- Troubleshooting Guide | Issue | Possible Cause | Solution | |-------|----------------|-----------| | Form Trigger 404 | Workflow not active | Activate the workflow | | Web Search Tool fails | Missing Tavily API key | Replace the placeholder key | | FIRECRAWLER / find competitor fails | Missing MCP node | Install n8n-nodes-mcp | | Basic scrape does nothing | Switch node path disconnected | Reconnect “basic” output | | Supabase node error | Wrong table/column names | Match schema exactly | --- Need Help or More Workflows?
