What this workflow does

This AI workflow has 8 nodes and runs on a schedule (every day at 08:00). Along the way it connects OpenAI Chat Model, Gmail and Apidirect (community).

How it runs

Trigger: On a schedule (every day at 08:00).

  1. Edit your search settings (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 3 fields: search_query, product_description, digest_email
  2. Search Reddit posts (Apidirect): posts (reddit)
  3. Keep only new posts (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  4. Is this a real lead? (Text Classifier): classifies text into categories with AI, with model: OpenAI Chat Model
  5. Build the email digest (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  6. Email the digest (Gmail): uses Gmail

Services it uses

  • Check that n8n-nodes-apidirect is verified or supports 3.0 (used in Search Reddit posts).
