Google Docs and OpenAI integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Google Docs and OpenAI and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Miscellaneous, AI, and Langchain workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Google Docs and OpenAI

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

AI-powered automated stock analysis

Introduction:

Streamline your fundamental stock analysis process with AI-powered automation.

By harnessing the power of SEC 10K reports - comprehensive documents required by the SEC containing vital company information - this template automates the analysis workflow.

From planning by a Senior Research Analyst to execution by five Research Analysts and final review by a Senior Editor, this template takes an AI persona approach to compose the report that includes an overview of the business, strategy, SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threads) analysis, near term catalysts, and top risks.

Additionally, this template allows you to control the length and detail of the report generated.

How it works
There are three personas in the workflow:

Senior Research Analyst** is the first part of the workflow. They are responsible for planning the work for the rest of the team.

Squad of Research Analysts** is the second part of the workflow. They execute the plan created.

Senior Editor** is the third part of the workflow. They polish the draft report and send it to publish

This template uses a custom tool that is able to answer the SEC 10K questions from the Research team.

Setup steps
Setup the Stock Q&A Workflow for the company you want to analyze using this template

Customize the setup node by specifying the company to analyze

Customize the publish step by specifying the file name in the Google docs node

WordPress Auto-Blogging Pro - with DEEP RESEARCH - Content Automation Machine

The best content automation template in the market is now even better—with “deep research” on time-sensitive topics\! Unlike most n8n content automation templates that are mainly for “demo purposes,” this advanced n8n workflow is for the real PROs. It conducts in-depth research on the latest information about a topic, then automatically creates and publishes SEO-optimized blog posts to your WordPress website. In addition, it generates a unique image for each chapter and a featured image for the overall article, and it collects internal website links—seamlessly inserting links throughout each chapter and the entire article. Furthermore, it backs up all content and images to a designated folder in your Google Drive. This integrated approach not only creates high-quality, comprehensive content for readers but also enhances on-page SEO, improves navigation, and streamlines your content creation process—saving you time while ensuring your work is securely stored. This is a complimentary variation of the n8n WordPress Auto-Blogging Pro for SEO topics. That one specializes in auto-blogging content about established topics that do not need up-to-date information while this one takes it further by incorporating online research into the workflow. Both make up the perfect combo to run your blog on autopilot\! How It Works Trigger: It activates upon adding a new row to a Google Sheet. Users can control many customizable parameters, such as key topic, number of subtopics, target audience, length, and style. Initial Research: The workflow initiates preliminary research on the topic to gather insights for the content planning phase. Structure Planning: Based on the initial research, it plans a detailed structure for the entire article and breaks the article into subtopics strongly tied to the main topic. In-Depth Research & Writing: For each subtopic, it conducts further research to gather the most up-to-date, relevant information, then uses that research to write each chapter in depth. Image Generation: It generates and adds images for each chapter, as well as a featured image for the article. Internal Linking: The system gathers internal website links and strategically embeds them within each chapter and throughout the article, boosting SEO and enhancing user navigation. Final Assembly & Publishing: All texts, images, and links are combined into one comprehensive article, which is then published directly to your WordPress website. You can also choose to post it as a draft for final review. Auto Backup to Drive: Get peace of mind knowing all content (blog post and images) is automatically saved to Google Drive, organized in a folder named after the blog post title. Unique Features Deep Research: The workflow leverages advanced, real-time research to gather the latest information about a topic. It breaks down the key topic into subtopics and conducts in-depth research on each one, ensuring the most comprehensive and current knowledge. Full Automation: Designed to be 100% automated, the workflow runs without manual intervention once imported and configured. Simple Activation: It is easily triggered through the Google Sheets interface—simply add a new row to a Google Sheet. Customization Options: Offers a wide array of options, including topic, category, target audience, word count, number of chapters, length of introduction and conclusion, and writing style. It also allows for the inclusion of calls-to-action (CTAs) and company/product introductions. Advanced Loop in Loop: Clever looping is used to write each chapter and generate images, ensuring optimal results. “Wait” nodes are added where appropriate to avoid API call rate limits. Automatic Content Saving: After the blog post is created, all content and images are automatically saved to Google Drive, preventing data loss. The folder is named after the blog post title. SEO-Optimized Content: It is designed to create SEO-optimized content using seed keywords. Internal Link Limit: The workflow limits the number of internal links to 20 by default. Error Catch: “If” nodes are strategically used to ensure that the output from AI nodes strictly meets the JSON schema, ensuring a smooth flow of data without interruption. And many more big and small improvements. Requirements Please make sure you have these requirements ready to ensure smooth deployment of this n8n workflow template: OpenAI API or equivalent for text and image generation PerplexityAI API or equivalent for online research A WordPress website (other website platforms will not work\!) Google Sheets for triggering the workflow, or a trigger of your choice Google Drive and Google Docs for auto backup Set Up Steps Install the Workflow Template: Import the JSON files into your n8n instance. There are 2 files: one for the main workflow and one for the research tool (PerplexityAI). Connect the Workflow with Your Accounts: Link your accounts for OpenAI API, PerplexityAI API, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Google Docs, and WordPress website. Configure the Google Sheet: Ensure your Google Sheet is set up to trigger the workflow upon adding a new row and that the input data is correctly formatted. Customize the Inputs: Adjust parameters like topic, target audience, and writing style to match your specific content needs. Optimize prompts for the best results. Test the Workflow: Use low-cost AI models and image settings initially to ensure everything runs smoothly. Tailor Further as Needed: Modify workflow elements to perfectly align with your needs and content strategy. Tips for PROs Image Generation: The default AI model for image generation is OpenAI’s Dall-E. However, the outputs of this model are not impressive. Consider using FLUX.1 for better image quality. Research: PerplexityAI is the tool of choice for research. The default model used in this workflow is “sonar” due to its fast speed and low cost. Feel free to experiment with its other models, including the “sonar-deep-research” model, which is dedicated to deep research. Triggering: Triggering with a new row on Google Sheets is limited and unreliable. Consider setting an auto trigger with a daily schedule at a specific time. You can even put the whole workflow in a loop to process multiple rows one-by-one from Google Sheets. Human in the Loop: It is possible to incorporate a human review process. For example, after the article is posted to WordPress as a draft, a human can review the draft. Only after approval will the post be published, and a final copy of the post will be saved to the shared Drive folder.

Automate Your RFP Process with OpenAI Assistants

This n8n workflow demonstrates how to automate oftern time-consuming form filling tasks in the early stages of the tendering process; the Request for Proposal document or "RFP". It does this by utilising a company's knowledgebase to generating question-and-answer pairs using Large Language Models. How it works A buyer's RFP is submitted to the workflow as a digital document that can be parsed. Our first AI agent scans and extracts all questions from the document into list form. The supplier sets up an OpenAI assistant prior loaded with company brand, marketing and technical documents. The workflow loops through each of the buyer's questions and poses these to the OpenAI assistant. The assistant's answers are captured until all questions are satisified and are then exported into a new document for review. A sales team member is then able to use this document to respond quickly to the RFP before their competitors. Example Webhook Request curl --location 'https://<n8n_webhook_url>' \ --form 'id="RFP001"' \ --form 'title="BlueChip Travel and StarBus Web Services"' \ --form 'reply_to="[email protected]"' \ --form 'data=@"k9pnbALxX/RFP Questionnaire.pdf"' Requirements An OpenAI account to use AI services. Customising the workflow OpenAI assistants is only one approach to hosting a company knowledgebase for AI to use. Exploring different solutions such as building your own RAG-powered database can sometimes yield better results in terms of control of how the data is managed and cost.
