Global Industrial Intelligence Workflow

This workflow collects and analyzes global industrial research data to support engineering and business decision-making.

It automatically retrieves research-related information from external sources such as news APIs or research feeds, processes the data, and extracts relevant content.

The workflow then uses AI to summarize, classify, and evaluate each item based on predefined criteria such as technical relevance, potential impact, and risk level.

After analysis, the workflow ranks the results and selects the most important insights. These results are then formatted and stored in Google Sheets for tracking and future reference.

Finally, the workflow can generate reports and send notifications via external tools, enabling users to quickly understand important global trends without manual research.

This workflow demonstrates how n8n can be used to build an automated intelligence system that transforms raw data into actionable insights.

It is designed to be scalable and adaptable to various industries and data sources.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/15348/15348.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.
