This n8n workflow automatically retrieves recent Reuters news articles related to a user-specified keyword, summarizes the main findings using Google Gemini, formats the output into styled HTML, and sends a clean email report to a specified address.

🚀 What It Does

  • Collects news data from Bright Data's Reuters dataset.
  • Sorts and filters top 10 most recent news articles by publication_date.
  • Sends structured news data to Gemini Flash for summarization.
  • Converts Gemini's response (in Markdown) into styled HTML.
  • Delivers a concise news briefing via email, including clickable source links and topic highlights.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup

  1. User Form: Accepts a keyword from the user via an n8n form trigger.
  2. Bright Data API: Posts a discover_new request to Bright Data's Reuters dataset using the keyword.
  3. Snapshot Polling: Waits and checks for dataset readiness using the snapshot ID.
  4. Data Retrieval: Downloads the news data once the snapshot is complete.
  5. Parsing: Filters and sorts the latest 10 articles using a Python Code node.
  6. AI Analysis: Google Gemini summarizes the filtered content into one briefing.
  7. Markdown → HTML: Converts AI response into styled HTML using Markdown + Code node.
  8. Email Delivery: Sends the briefing as an email to a predefined recipient.

🧠 How It Works

  • Polling Control: Uses Wait and If nodes to handle Bright Data snapshot readiness.
  • Date Sorting: Publication dates (ISO 8601 format) are parsed and used for sorting.
  • AI Summarization: Gemini condenses multiple articles into one cohesive summary.
  • Formatting: Clean HTML with readable styles is generated dynamically before sending.

📨 Final Output
The email includes:

  • A brief summary of the most important developments
  • Date range of the collected news
  • Topics covered

🔐 Credentials Used
Bright Data API (replace YOUR_API_KEY in the HTTP nodes)

Google Gemini (Flash) API

Email SMTP (configured in Email Send node)

⚠️ Notes

  • You must replace all YOUR_API_KEY placeholders in Bright Data request headers with your actual Bright Data API key.
  • You can customize the keyword prompt and output style freely.
  • I would recommend to keep the sort = relevance option for best chronological results - sorting by date is handled later.
