- Workflow name
- Monitor supplier financial distress and risk with Bright Data, OpenRouter and Google Sheets
Description
This workflow automatically scans companies for signs of financial distress across filings, insolvency registers, and financial news. It helps procurement, credit, and risk teams detect early warning signals before a supplier or partner defaults.
Overview
This workflow uses Bright Data to scrape financial filings, insolvency registers, and news sources for distress signals like bankruptcy, restructuring, or payment defaults.
AI classifies the type and severity of distress, applies probability weighting and confidence guardrails, then generates structured business decisions — including:
- Supplier Monitoring risk status
- Onboarding Approval recommendations
- Portfolio Exposure classifications
All outputs are logged into Google Sheets for tracking and auditability.
Tools Used
- n8n: Automation platform orchestrating the workflow
- Bright Data: Scrapes filings, insolvency registers, and financial news without getting blocked
- OpenRouter: AI-powered distress classification, risk scoring, and business decision generation
- Google Sheets: Logs supplier risk status, onboarding decisions, portfolio exposure, and errors
How to Install
1. Import the Workflow
Download the .json file and import it into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Bright Data
Add your Bright Data API credentials to all Bright Data nodes.
3. Configure OpenRouter
Add your OpenRouter API key for AI distress classification and decision generation.
4. Set Up Google Sheets
Create a spreadsheet following the "Google Sheets Setup" sticky note inside the workflow. Connect each Google Sheets node to your document.
5. Customize
Edit the configuration node to define:
- Target company
- Country
- Risk indicators
- Monitoring scope
Use Cases
Procurement Teams
Monitor supplier financial health and get alerts before disruptions hit your supply chain.
Credit Risk Analysts
Screen new vendors or partners for bankruptcy signals and insolvency red flags.
Onboarding Workflows
Automate go/no-go decisions for new supplier or partner approvals.
