AI-Powered Content Gap Analysis using ScrapeGraphAI and Strategic Planning
This n8n workflow provides a framework for automating content gap analysis, leveraging AI for data extraction and strategic planning. It's designed to help content creators and marketers identify missing content opportunities and plan their content strategy more effectively.
What it does
This workflow outlines the following key steps:
- Schedule Trigger: The workflow is initiated on a schedule, allowing for regular execution of the content gap analysis.
- Code Node - Placeholder for ScrapeGraphAI Integration: This node is a placeholder for custom JavaScript code that would integrate with ScrapeGraphAI. ScrapeGraphAI is envisioned to scrape competitor websites or target keywords to gather data on existing content.
- Google Sheets - Placeholder for Data Storage and Analysis: This node represents the integration with Google Sheets. It's intended to store the scraped data, perform initial analysis, and potentially serve as a source for content ideas or a repository for content gap findings.
- Sticky Note - Strategic Planning: This note highlights the manual, human-driven strategic planning phase, where the insights gained from the automated analysis are used to develop actionable content strategies.
Prerequisites/Requirements
- n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
- Google Account: For connecting to Google Sheets.
- ScrapeGraphAI Integration (Custom Code): This workflow assumes a custom code implementation to interact with ScrapeGraphAI. You will need to write or adapt JavaScript code within the "Code" node to perform the actual scraping and data processing using ScrapeGraphAI.
- Understanding of Content Gap Analysis: Familiarity with the principles of content gap analysis to effectively interpret the results and formulate strategies.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
- Configure Google Sheets Credentials:
- Add your Google Sheets credentials to the "Google Sheets" node.
- Specify the spreadsheet and sheet where you want to store and analyze your data.
- Implement ScrapeGraphAI Logic:
- Edit the "Code" node.
- Replace the placeholder comments with your actual JavaScript code to:
- Initiate ScrapeGraphAI to scrape relevant websites or search results based on your content gap analysis goals.
- Process the extracted data (e.g., article titles, keywords, topics, length, etc.).
- Format the data for easy ingestion into Google Sheets.
- Define Schedule:
- Configure the "Schedule Trigger" node to run the workflow at your desired frequency (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
- Strategic Planning:
- After the workflow runs and populates your Google Sheet, manually analyze the data to identify content gaps, prioritize topics, and develop your content strategy. The "Sticky Note" serves as a reminder for this crucial human intervention step.
Note: This workflow provides a foundational structure. The core intelligence for content gap analysis, including the specific scraping targets, data extraction rules, and initial data processing, will need to be implemented within the "Code" node using ScrapeGraphAI.

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.
