Description: Automate your grant research with an AI Agent that reads, analyzes, and scores opportunities. 🏛️🤖

This advanced workflow transforms the tedious task of finding business subsidies into an automated intelligence stream. Unlike simple keyword scrapers, it uses an OpenAI Agent (GPT-4o) to read full articles, extract key details (deadlines, budgets), and evaluate their importance for SMEs on a 1-10 scale.

Key Features:

Intelligent Scoring: The AI assigns an "Importance Score" and "Urgency" level to each subsidy, filtering out noise.

Structured Data Extraction: Converts unstructured news text into clean JSON (Deadlines, Requirements, Agencies).

Smart Alerts: High-scoring subsidies (Score 7+) trigger a priority alert (🚨) sent directly to Chatwork.

State Management: Uses Google Sheets to track history and prevent duplicate notifications.

Organized Layout: Nodes are clearly grouped into sections (Setup, Aggregation, Analysis, Logic) for easy customization.

How it works:

Aggregate: Collects the latest articles from Google News, J-Net21, and Mirasapo Plus RSS feeds.

Analyze: The AI Agent reads the content to extract fields like applicationDeadline and targetRecipients, while calculating an importance score.

Deduplicate: Checks the URL against a Google Sheet database to ensure only new information is processed.

Filter & Tag: High-value items are automatically tagged as "High Priority".

Notify: Saves data to Google Sheets and sends a formatted message to Chatwork.

Setup Requirements:

Google Sheets: Create a sheet named Subsidies with the following headers in the first row: subsidyName, targetRecipients, applicationDeadline, budgetAmount, urgency, importanceScore, priorityTag, sourceUrl

Credentials:

OpenAI: API Key (GPT-4o recommended).

Chatwork: API Token.

Google Sheets: OAuth2 connection.

Configuration: Open the "Sticky Note Setup" section (first node) and enter your Chatwork Room ID, Chatwork API Token, and Google Spreadsheet ID.

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/11155/11155.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.
