⚡ Market Research & Trends Workflows

Automate market research with ready-to-run n8n workflows that track trends, summarize news, and log insights to Sheets or Notion—so you spot shifts faster and act with confidence.

If you’re a marketer, founder, ops lead, or agency owner, these workflows help you keep a steady pulse on your market without living in tabs. Automatically collect news, competitor signals, search trends, and social chatter, then turn it into weekly briefs and dashboards. You’ll cut manual tracking, reduce “we missed it” moments, and make faster decisions on positioning, pricing, and campaigns—using tools you already rely on.

📊 About Market Research & Trends

AI automation for Market Research & Trends connects your sources (RSS, Google Search, social, scrape tools) to your workspace, then uses LLMs to clean, classify, and summarize what matters. Instead of raw links, you get tagged insights, alerts, and reports delivered on a schedule. Common wins: trend spotting, category mapping, voice-of-customer themes, competitor updates, and briefing packs for leadership. Frankly, it’s one of the quickest ways to turn noise into decisions.

How does Market Research & Trends automation work?

You start by choosing the signals you care about: keywords, competitors, topics, regions, and sources like RSS feeds, Google Search, or social posts. An n8n workflow pulls new items on a schedule, deduplicates them, and enriches them (for example, extracting company names or product mentions). Then AI can summarize, classify sentiment, and group themes. Finally, results are sent to where you work—Google Sheets, Notion, Slack, or email—so your team sees insights, not links.

Do I need technical skills to automate Market Research & Trends?

Usually, no. Most Flowpast workflows are plug-and-play: connect your accounts, set keywords, and hit run. If you can handle a spreadsheet and a few settings, you’ll be fine. For advanced setups—like custom scraping or multi-market dashboards—you will get more control, but it’s still guided and reusable.

How much time can automation save for Market Research & Trends?

If you’re doing research manually, it’s easy to lose about 2 hours a week just collecting links, taking notes, and writing updates. Automation handles collection, sorting, and first-pass summaries, so your time goes to decisions and strategy. Teams often use it to keep a weekly trends brief running without someone “owning” it every Friday. Honestly, the bigger win is consistency: fewer blind spots, fewer missed shifts, and less last-minute scrambling before meetings.

What do I need to get started, and what are the technical requirements?

You’ll need an n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) and accounts for any tools you want to connect, like Google Sheets, Slack, or OpenAI. Pick a workflow, paste in your keywords or competitor list, and choose where outputs should land. Some workflows use web requests or RSS feeds, which need no extra setup. If a workflow includes scraping, you may need an API key (for example, a search or scraping provider) and a short test run to confirm the sources.
