Email News Briefing by Keyword from Bright Data with AI Summary

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.
