n8n Workflow: Automatic Ad Product Search on Amazon using Apify Scrapers

This n8n workflow automates the process of taking product names from a Google Sheet, searching for them on Amazon using an Apify Scify Scraper, and then recording the results back into the Google Sheet. It's designed to help you quickly find Amazon listings for products you've identified, potentially from ad campaigns or other sources.

What it does

This workflow performs the following steps:

  1. Triggers Manually: The workflow is initiated by a manual trigger, allowing you to run it on demand.
  2. Reads Product Names from Google Sheets: It fetches a list of product names from a specified Google Sheet.
  3. Limits Items (Optional): It includes a "Limit" node, which can be configured to process only a certain number of items from the Google Sheet, useful for testing or managing API call limits.
  4. Processes Items in Batches: Each product name is processed individually using a "Split in Batches" node, ensuring that each search query is handled separately.
  5. Constructs Apify Scraper Request: For each product name, it constructs an HTTP request to trigger an Apify Scraper for Amazon product search.
  6. Executes Apify Scraper: It sends the HTTP request to Apify to start the Amazon product search.
  7. Checks Scraper Status: It continuously polls Apify to check the status of the scraper run until it completes.
  8. Retrieves Scraper Results: Once the scraper run is finished, it fetches the results (e.g., product details, URLs) from Apify.
  9. Filters Results: It filters the retrieved results, likely to ensure only relevant or successful results are processed.
  10. Prepares Data for Google Sheets: It uses a "Set" node to transform and prepare the Apify scraper results into a format suitable for writing back to Google Sheets.
  11. Writes Results to Google Sheets: Finally, it appends the search results to the original Google Sheet, enriching your product data with Amazon listing information.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
  • Google Account: To access Google Sheets. You'll need to set up Google Sheets credentials in n8n.
  • Apify Account: To use Apify Scrapers. You'll need an Apify API key and a configured Amazon product search scraper (e.g., "Amazon Scraper" or similar).
  • OpenAI Account (Optional): While an OpenAI node is present in the workflow, it is currently disconnected and not actively used in the main flow. If you intend to integrate AI capabilities, you would need an OpenAI API key.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Google Sheets: Set up your Google Sheets OAuth2 or API Key credentials.
    • Apify: Set up an HTTP Request credential or directly embed your Apify API key in the "HTTP Request" nodes if preferred (less secure).
  3. Update Google Sheet Node:
    • In the "Google Sheets" node (ID: 18), specify the Spreadsheet ID and Sheet Name where your product names are listed and where the results should be written.
  4. Configure Apify HTTP Requests:
    • In the "HTTP Request" nodes (ID: 19, and others related to Apify), ensure the URLs and headers (especially for Apify API key) are correctly configured for your Apify account and the specific Amazon scraper you are using.
    • Adjust the Apify scraper input parameters (e.g., search query) to correctly pass the product names from the Google Sheet.
  5. Adjust Limit Node (Optional): If you want to process a specific number of items, configure the "Limit" node (ID: 1237).
  6. Activate and Execute: Save the workflow, activate it, and then click "Execute workflow" to run it manually.

This workflow provides a robust solution for automating product research on Amazon, making it easier to track and analyze product availability and pricing.

Automate Dutch Public Procurement Data Collection with TenderNed

TenderNed Public Procurement What This Workflow Does This workflow automates the collection of public procurement data from TenderNed (the official Dutch tender platform). It: Fetches the latest tender publications from the TenderNed API Retrieves detailed information in both XML and JSON formats for each tender Parses and extracts key information like organization names, titles, descriptions, and reference numbers Filters results based on your custom criteria Stores the data in a database for easy querying and analysis Setup Instructions This template comes with sticky notes providing step-by-step instructions in Dutch and various query options you can customize. Prerequisites TenderNed API Access - Register at TenderNed for API credentials Configuration Steps Set up TenderNed credentials: Add HTTP Basic Auth credentials with your TenderNed API username and password Apply these credentials to the three HTTP Request nodes: "Tenderned Publicaties" "Haal XML Details" "Haal JSON Details" Customize filters: Modify the "Filter op ..." node to match your specific requirements Examples: specific organizations, contract values, regions, etc. How It Works Step 1: Trigger The workflow can be triggered either manually for testing or automatically on a daily schedule. Step 2: Fetch Publications Makes an API call to TenderNed to retrieve a list of recent publications (up to 100 per request). Step 3: Process & Split Extracts the tender array from the response and splits it into individual items for processing. Step 4: Fetch Details For each tender, the workflow makes two parallel API calls: XML endpoint - Retrieves the complete tender documentation in XML format JSON endpoint - Fetches metadata including reference numbers and keywords Step 5: Parse & Merge Parses the XML data and merges it with the JSON metadata and batch information into a single data structure. Step 6: Extract Fields Maps the raw API data to clean, structured fields including: Publication ID and date Organization name Tender title and description Reference numbers (kenmerk, TED number) Step 7: Filter Applies your custom filter criteria to focus on relevant tenders only. Step 8: Store Inserts the processed data into your database for storage and future analysis. Customization Tips Modify API Parameters In the "Tenderned Publicaties" node, you can adjust: offset: Starting position for pagination size: Number of results per request (max 100) Add query parameters for date ranges, status filters, etc. Add More Fields Extend the "Splits Alle Velden" node to extract additional fields from the XML/JSON data, such as: Contract value estimates Deadline dates CPV codes (procurement classification) Contact information Integrate Notifications Add a Slack, Email, or Discord node after the filter to get notified about new matching tenders. Incremental Updates Modify the workflow to only fetch new tenders by: Storing the last execution timestamp Adding date filters to the API query Only processing publications newer than the last run Troubleshooting No data returned? Verify your TenderNed API credentials are correct Check that you have setup youre filter proper Need help setting this up or interested in a complete tender analysis solution?

🎓 How to transform unstructured email data into structured format with AI agent

This workflow automates the process of extracting structured, usable information from unstructured email messages across multiple platforms. It connects directly to Gmail, Outlook, and IMAP accounts, retrieves incoming emails, and sends their content to an AI-powered parsing agent built on OpenAI GPT models. The AI agent analyzes each email, identifies relevant details, and returns a clean JSON structure containing key fields: From – sender’s email address To – recipient’s email address Subject – email subject line Summary – short AI-generated summary of the email body The extracted information is then automatically inserted into an n8n Data Table, creating a structured database of email metadata and summaries ready for indexing, reporting, or integration with other tools. --- Key Benefits ✅ Full Automation: Eliminates manual reading and data entry from incoming emails. ✅ Multi-Source Integration: Handles data from different email providers seamlessly. ✅ AI-Driven Accuracy: Uses advanced language models to interpret complex or unformatted content. ✅ Structured Storage: Creates a standardized, query-ready dataset from previously unstructured text. ✅ Time Efficiency: Processes emails in real time, improving productivity and response speed. *✅ Scalability: Easily extendable to handle additional sources or extract more data fields. --- How it works This workflow automates the transformation of unstructured email data into a structured, queryable format. It operates through a series of connected steps: Email Triggering: The workflow is initiated by one of three different email triggers (Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, or a generic IMAP account), which constantly monitor for new incoming emails. AI-Powered Parsing & Structuring: When a new email is detected, its raw, unstructured content is passed to a central "Parsing Agent." This agent uses a specified OpenAI language model to intelligently analyze the email text. Data Extraction & Standardization: Following a predefined system prompt, the AI agent extracts key information from the email, such as the sender, recipient, subject, and a generated summary. It then forces the output into a strict JSON structure using a "Structured Output Parser" node, ensuring data consistency. Data Storage: Finally, the clean, structured data (the from, to, subject, and summarize fields) is inserted as a new row into a specified n8n Data Table, creating a searchable and reportable database of email information. --- Set up steps To implement this workflow, follow these configuration steps: Prepare the Data Table: Create a new Data Table within n8n. Define the columns with the following names and string type: From, To, Subject, and Summary. Configure Email Credentials: Set up the credential connections for the email services you wish to use (Gmail OAuth2, Microsoft Outlook OAuth2, and/or IMAP). Ensure the accounts have the necessary permissions to read emails. Configure AI Model Credentials: Set up the OpenAI API credential with a valid API key. The workflow is configured to use the model, but this can be changed in the respective nodes if needed. Connect the Nodes: The workflow canvas is already correctly wired. Visually confirm that the email triggers are connected to the "Parsing Agent," which is connected to the "Insert row" (Data Table) node. Also, ensure the "OpenAI Chat Model" and "Structured Output Parser" are connected to the "Parsing Agent" as its AI model and output parser, respectively. Activate the Workflow: Save the workflow and toggle the "Active" switch to ON. The triggers will begin polling for new emails according to their schedule (e.g., every minute), and the automation will start processing incoming messages. --- Need help customizing?
