Context

Hey! I’m Samir , a Supply Chain Engineer and Data Scientist from Paris, and the founder of LogiGreen Consulting.

We use AI, automation, and data to support sustainable and data-driven operations across all types of organizations.

This workflow is part of our networking strategy (as a business) to track official EU events that may relate to topics we cover.




> Want to stay ahead of critical EU meetings and events without checking the website every day?

This n8n workflow automatically scrapes the EU’s official event portal and logs the latest entries with clean metadata including date, location, category, and link.

Who is this template for?

This workflow is useful for:
Policy & public affairs teams** following institutional activities
Sustainability teams** watching for relevant climate-related summits
NGOs and researchers** interested in event calendars
Data teams** building dashboards on public event trends

What does it do?

This n8n workflow:
🌐 Scrapes the EU events portal for new meetings and conferences
📅 Extracts event metadata (title, date, location, type, and link)
🔁 Handles pagination across multiple pages
🚫 Checks for duplicates already stored
📊 Saves new records into a connected Google Sheet

How it works




Triggered daily via cron
HTTP node loads the event listing HTML
Extract HTML blocks for each event article
Parse event name, link, type, location, and full date
Concatenate and clean dates for easy tracking
Store non-duplicate entries in Google Sheets

The workflow uses static data to track pagination and ensure only new events are stored, making it ideal for building up a clean dataset over time.

What do I need to get started?

You’ll need:
A Google Sheet connected to your n8n instance
No code or AI tools needed — just n8n and this template

Follow the Guide!

Sticky notes are included directly inside the workflow to guide you step-by-step through setup and customisation.

Notes

This is ideal for analysts and consultants who want clean, structured data from the EU portal
You can add filtering, email alerts, or AI classifiers later

This workflow was built using n8n version 1.93.0
