vinci-king-01 This workflow corresponds to n8n.io template #11635 — we link there as the canonical source.
This workflow follows the HTTP Request → Notion recipe pattern — see all workflows that pair these two integrations.

"content": "## How it works\n\nEvery Monday at 08:00, the Schedule Trigger wakes this workflow and hands a list of technology-focused keyword queries to the downstream nodes. Each keyword is turned into a USPTO or Google Patents search URL, then processed one at a time so we stay within polite rate limits. ScrapeGraphAI opens each result page and uses its LLM brain to pull out fresh patent records, giving us clean JSON containing title, application number, publication date, abstract and link. A HTTP call to the PatentView API enriches every record with classifications and inventor details. We run a quick transformation, mark anything security-related as important, drop the data into a Notion database and finally push an alert to your phone whenever a high-priority patent appears.\n\n## Setup steps\n\n1. Add your ScrapeGraphAI API key inside n8n credentials \n2. Add a PatentView or external patent API credential if required \n3. Paste your Notion database ID in the Notion node and authorize access \n4. Create a Pushover application and add its credential in n8n \n5. Adjust the keyword list in the \u201cBuild Query URLs\u201d code node \n6. Enable the workflow, run once manually to confirm mappings \n7. Relax and let the weekly automation watch the patent landscape"

"content": "## Data Collection\n\nThe three nodes beneath this note create the raw material that fuels the entire workflow. The Schedule Trigger fires once a week, guaranteeing a predictable crawl cadence that patent offices are happy with. Immediately afterwards the \u201cBuild Query URLs\u201d code node constructs a list of search URLs by combining the keywords you supply with a canned patent-search endpoint. Because the node outputs one item per URL, the Split In Batches node can throttle the job to a single request at a time, avoiding both HTTP 429 responses and unnecessary compute spikes. The JSON that leaves this mini-section is extremely simple: `{ url: '<search-url>' }`. Keeping it minimal ensures our downstream ScrapeGraphAI node can focus on extracting patent metadata without wrestling with extraneous fields."

It receives each search URL, renders the page, and uses an LLM prompt that you can tweak to capture the first twenty patents that were published or granted within the past thirty days. Instead of brittle CSS selectors, the node understands natural language such as \u201creturn a JSON array of patents with title, applicationNumber, publicationDate, abstract and detailUrl.\u201d The result is far more resilient to the frequent UI tweaks that patent databases make. Right after scraping, the \u201cFlatten Patent List\u201d code node explodes the array into one item per patent so that later stages\u2014like the enrichment API call\u2014operate in a clean, predictable, one-record context."

The Patent Details API node queries the public PatentView service using each patent\u2019s application number and returns inventor information, Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) codes and legal status. The subsequent code node merges the two data sets, normalises field names, converts dates to ISO-8601 and performs a quick text test looking for words like \u201cvulnerability,\u201d \u201coverflow\u201d or \u201csecurity.\u201d When a match is found we set `important: true`; otherwise it stays false. This stage also strips hidden line breaks and trims strings so the Notion database receives clean data. By performing the heavy lifting here we keep both storage and notification logic lightweight."

We map the title to the database\u2019s Name property, place the application number and CPC codes in rich-text or multi-select columns and store the link so readers can jump straight to the official patent page. Notion\u2019s version history gives you instant audit trails, while its collaboration features mean patent attorneys can leave inline notes without leaving the platform. Because the node runs after the transformation step the payload is already deduplicated and clean, which keeps the database free of repeated entries and confusing partial records."

The IF node checks the `important` flag set earlier; only items marked true continue to the Pushover node. Pushover delivers a concise mobile push notification that includes the patent title and publication date, meaning you know about critical security-related filings within seconds of them appearing in Notion. You can adjust the alert format or priority directly in the node settings. Because the system already throttles scraping and runs on a weekly cadence, you will receive a manageable stream of actionable alerts instead of an overwhelming flood."
