Send weekly Reddit sentiment digests to Notion with ScraperAPI and OpenAI

Quick Overview

This workflow runs every Monday, scrapes weekly top posts from selected Reddit pages via ScraperAPI, analyzes sentiment and themes with OpenAI GPT-5 Mini, compiles a single weekly digest, and creates a formatted page in a Notion database.

How it works

  1. Runs every Monday at 9:00 AM on a schedule.
  2. Defines a list of Reddit source URLs to analyze and the target Notion database ID.
  3. Scrapes each Reddit page via ScraperAPI and converts the returned HTML into plain text for analysis.
  4. Sends the cleaned text to OpenAI GPT-5 Mini to extract per-source sentiment counts, top themes, representative quotes, and a short tone note in JSON.
  5. Normalizes and aggregates all source results into a single weekly digest with totals, theme rollups, per-source breakdown, and selected quotes.
  6. Creates a new Notion database page containing the digest sections (overview, counts, themes, per-source breakdown, and quotes).

Setup

  1. Add a ScraperAPI credential and ensure it can access the Reddit URLs you want to scrape.
  2. Add an OpenAI API key credential for the OpenAI Chat Model configured as GPT-5 Mini.
  3. Add a Notion credential (API token), share your target Notion database with the integration, and replace the placeholder Notion database ID in the configuration step.
  4. Update the Reddit source URLs/labels (and optional country code) to match the subreddits and views you want to track.
  5. Adjust the schedule cron expression if you want the digest to run at a different time.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/16447/16447.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.
