Create curated industry trend reports from Medium to Google Docs

This workflow automates the process of market research by generating high-quality, curated digests of Medium articles for specific topics. It scrapes recent content, uses AI to filter out spam and duplicates, categorizes the stories into readable buckets, and compiles everything into a formatted Google Doc report.

Target Audience

Content marketers, market researchers, product managers, and investors looking to track industry trends without reading through noise.

How it works

  1. Schedule: The workflow runs on a defined schedule (e.g., daily or weekly) via the Schedule Trigger.
  2. Define Source: A Set node defines the specific Medium tag URL to track (e.g., /tag/artificial-intelligence).
  3. Scrape Content: BrowserAct visits the target Medium page and scrapes the latest article titles, authors, and summaries.
  4. Analyze & Filter: An AI Agent (powered by Claude via OpenRouter) analyzes the raw feed. It removes duplicates, filters out spam/clickbait, and categorizes high-quality stories into buckets (e.g., "Must Reads," "Engineering," "Wealth").
  5. Create Report: A Google Docs node creates a new document using the digest title generated by the AI.
  6. Build Document: The workflow loops through the analyzed items, appending headers and body text to the Google Doc section by section.
  7. Notify Team: A Slack node sends a message to your chosen channel confirming the report is ready.

How to set up

  1. Configure Credentials: Connect your BrowserAct, Google Docs, Slack, and OpenRouter accounts in n8n.
  2. Prepare BrowserAct: Ensure the Automated Industry Trend Scraper & Outline Creator template is saved in your BrowserAct account.
  3. Set Target Topic: Open the Target Page node and replace the Target_Medium_Link with the Medium tag archive you wish to track (e.g., https://medium.com/tag/bitcoin/archive).
  4. Configure Notification: Open the Send a message node (Slack) and select the channel where you want to receive alerts.
  5. Activate: Turn the workflow on.

Requirements

  • BrowserAct account with the Automated Industry Trend Scraper & Outline Creator template.
  • Google Docs account.
  • Slack account.
  • OpenRouter account (or any compatible LLM credentials).

How to customize the workflow

  1. Adjust the AI Persona: Modify the system prompt in the Analyzer & Script writer node to change the categorization buckets (e.g., change "Engineering" to "Marketing Strategies").
  2. Change the Output Destination: Replace the Google Docs nodes with Notion or Airtable nodes if you prefer a database format over a document.
  3. Add Email Delivery: Add a Gmail or Outlook node at the end to email the finished Google Doc link directly to stakeholders.

  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.
