🤖 Automated Multi-lingual News Curator & Archiver

Overview This workflow automates news monitoring by fetching RSS feeds, rewriting content using AI, translating it (EN/ZH/KO), and archiving it.

Who is this for? Content Curators, Localization Teams, and Travel Bloggers.

How it works

  1. Fetch & Filter: Pulls NHK RSS and filters for keywords (e.g., "Tokyo").
  2. AI Processing: Google Gemini rewrites articles, extracts locations, and translates text.
  3. Archive & Notify: Saves structured data to Google Sheets and alerts Slack.

Setup Requirements

  1. Credentials: Google Gemini, Google Sheets, Slack.
  2. Google Sheet: Create headers: title, summary, location, en, zh, ko, url.
  3. Slack: Configure Channel IDs.

Customization

  • RSS Read: Change feed URL.
  • If Node: Update filter keywords.
  • AI Agent: Adjust system prompts for tone.

1. Fetch & Filter

Runs on a schedule to fetch the latest RSS items. Filters articles based on specific keywords (e.g., "Tokyo" or "Season") before processing.

2. AI Analysis & Parsing

Uses Google Gemini to rewrite the news, extract specific locations, and translate content. The Code node cleans the JSON output for the database.

3. Archive & Notify

Appends the structured data to Google Sheets and sends a formatted notification to Slack (or alerts if an article was skipped).

Output Example (JSON) The translation agent outputs data in this format:

{
  "en": "Tokyo Tower is...",
  "zh": "东京塔是...",
  "ko": "도쿄 타워는..."
}

  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.
