It\u2019s ideal for community engagement, lead discovery, thought leadership tracking, or competitive analysis.\n\n## What This Automation Does\nGiven a search URL and a list of categories, it:\n- Logs into X using Airtop\n- Opens the specified search URL\n- Scrolls through the results\n- Extracts up to 10 valid, English-language posts\n- Filters and classifies each post by category (or marks as `[NA]` if unrelated)\n- Returns the structured results as JSON\n\nInput parameters:\n- **airtop_profile** \u2014 An Airtop browser profile authenticated on X\n- **x_url** \u2014 X search URL (e.g., `https://x.com/search?q=ai agents&f=live`)\n- **relevant_categories** \u2014 Text-based list of categories to classify posts (e.g., \"Web automation use cases\", \"Thought leadership\")\n\nOutput:\nA JSON array of posts, each with:\n- `writer`\n- `time`\n- `text`\n- `url`\n- `category`\n\n## How It Works\n1. **Trigger**: This workflow is triggered by another workflow (e.g., a community engagement pipeline).\n2. **Input Setup**: Accepts the Airtop profile, search URL, and categories to use for classification.\n3. **Session**: Starts a browser session using the Airtop profile.\n4. **Window Navigation**: Opens the provided X search URL.\n5. **Extraction**: Scrapes up to 10 posts with `/status/` in the URL and text in English.\n6. **Classification**: Each post is labeled with a category if relevant, or `[NA]` otherwise.\n7. **Filtering**: Discards `[NA]` posts.\n8. **Output**: Returns the list of classified posts.\n\n## Setup Requirements\n1. Airtop profile with an active X login.\n2. Airtop API key connected in n8n.\n3. List of category definitions to guide post classification (used in prompt).\n4. Workflow designed to be triggered externally, not run standalone.\n\n## Next Steps\n- **Feed into Engagement Workflows**: Pass the results to workflows that reply, retweet, or track posts.\n- **Use in Slack Alerts**: Push classified posts into Slack channels for review and reaction.\n- **Customize Classifier**: Refine the categorization logic to include sentiment or company mentions.\n"
