Workflow name
Automate multi-platform social media lookup from Google Sheets with Gemini AI

📌 Who’s it for

This template is designed for campaigners, researchers, and organizers who need to enrich spreadsheets of contacts with publicly available social media profiles. Ideal for advocacy campaigns, outreach, or digital organizing where fast, scalable people lookup is needed.

⚙️ What it does

This workflow scans a Google Sheet for rows marked as unanalysed ("Analysed?" = false), sends each contact to a dedicated AI-powered research agent, and returns structured public profile links across major platforms like:

  • Twitter/X
  • LinkedIn
  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • GitHub
  • TikTok
  • YouTube
  • Reddit
  • Threads
  • Medium
  • Substack
  • And more (18+ total)

It processes one contact per run for clarity and stability, appending the results back to the original Google Sheet.

🛠️ How to set it up

  1. Copy the Google Sheet template
    → This sheet includes sample columns and headers for contacts and social profile fields.
  2. Paste your contact list at the end of the sheet.
  3. For each new contact, make sure the "Analysed?" column is set to false.
  4. Clone this workflow and the AI Research Agent subworkflow.
  5. Connect your Google Sheets account in n8n.
  6. Update the workflow with your sheet ID and sheet name (Sheet1 by default).
  7. Trigger the workflow on a schedule (e.g. every 15 minutes) or run it manually.

✅ Requirements

🧩 How to customize the workflow

  • Modify the research agent to prioritize specific platforms or return only verified profiles.
  • Add more profile columns to the Google Sheet and schema to match your custom fields.
  • Add logic to send alerts (email, Slack, etc.) for specific contacts.
  • Use an n8n webhook instead of a schedule to run the process on demand.
  • Use a loop over all items to process all rows sequentially (only recommended for small datasets due to memory constraints)

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/6673/6673.json as the source template for this automation.

  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.
