Once triggered, it retrieves news based on a defined query, cleans and filters the data and selects the most relevant articles.Each article is processed individually using a batch loop to ensure controlled execution and avoid API limits. The workflow stores raw article data in Google Sheets, then uses an AI model to generate a concise summary and key regulatory changes.The AI output is formatted into a structured format and updated back into Google Sheets for tracking and analysis. Additionally, the workflow includes error handling, where failures from different nodes are collected, formatted and delayed for monitoring. This ensures a reliable and scalable news intelligence system.\n\n# Setup Steps\n\n## Prepare Google Sheets\nCreate columns: Title, Source, Published Date, Content, Summary, Key Changes.\n\n## Configure Variables\nSet values like API key, query, article limit, delay time and Sheet ID.\n\n## Add Trigger\nUse a Manual Trigger for testing.\n\n## Fetch & Process Data\nHTTP Request to fetch news, Code Node to clean and filter data, Limit Node to restrict articles.\n\n## Store & Loop\nSave raw data to Google Sheets, process using SplitInBatches and Wait, generate AI insights\n\n## Use AI (Gemini/OpenAI) to create:\nGenerate summary and key regulatory changes, format and update output, clean and structure data using Code node, update summary and key changes in Google Sheets.\n\n## Error Handling\nMerge to collect errors, Set to format details, Wait to delay alerts." }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "bc433c78-3e92-4658-9302-07112002e001", "name": "Sticky Note", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ 2896, 2432 ], "parameters": { "color": 7, "width": 640, "height": 368, "content": "## Configuration & Data Fetching\nCentralizes API keys, query and limits in one place for easy control.
