Archive Trending TikTok Hashtags to Airtable with Apify

This template uses a community node (@apify/n8n-nodes-apify). It will not work without the required node installed.

Who it's for

Social Media Managers & Content Creators Discover relevant hashtags and build content calendars based on real trends. Marketing & Brand Strategists Track cultural shifts and find opportunities by understanding regional audience interests. Data Analysts Create a dataset for analyzing hashtag trends, virality, and performance over time.

What it does

This workflow automates trend discovery and data collection from TikTok into Airtable.

  • Schedule: Triggers automatically once a month.
  • Scrape: Runs an Apify Actor to scrape TikTok’s top 100 trending hashtags for a specified country (default is US).
  • Retrieve: Fetches the dataset with hashtag metrics after scraping completes.
  • Process & Load: Splits the dataset and saves each hashtag as a new record in Airtable with relevant details.

How to set it up

1. Install the Community Node Go to Settings; Community Nodes on your n8n instance and install @apify/n8n-nodes-apify.

2. Prepare Airtable Create a base with a table named Trending Hashtags:

  • ID
  • Name
  • Country
  • Industry
  • Date Added
  • Publish Count
  • Video Views
  • Rank
  • Status

3. Add Credentials Add your Apify and Airtable credentials in n8n.

4. Configure Scraper (Optional) Open the 1. Run TikTok Hashtag Scraper node. In the Custom Body, you can adjust:

  • country_code (e.g., "US" to "GB")
  • top100_period (e.g., "30" to "7")

5. Configure Airtable Node Open the 4. Save Hashtag to Airtable node. Select the correct Airtable Base and the Trending Hashtags table.

6. Activate Workflow Save and activate the workflow. It will now run automatically every month.

Requirements

  • Installed community node: @apify/n8n-nodes-apify
  • Apify account
  • Airtable account with a structured base

How to customize the workflow

Change Schedule Modify the Start: Monthly Schedule node to run weekly or on another interval. Add Notifications Attach a Slack or Discord node after the 4. Save Hashtag to Airtable node to alert your team when new data is added. Filter Hashtags Use a Filter node after 3. Split Hashtags into Items to only save hashtags that meet specific conditions (e.g., over 1M video views).

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
