Email News Briefing by Keyword from Bright Data with AI Summary

Description

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