How It Works

This n8n workflow transforms structured company data from a Google Sheet into a fully formatted, investor-grade SWOT report in both HTML and PDF formats. Here’s the process in a few high-level steps:

1. Load Data: Pulls company information from the "Company Info Input" tab in the "SWOT Analysis" Google Sheet. 2. AI Analysis: Uses AI (via OpenAI or DeepSeek) to categorize data into Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, and generates detailed narrative sections for each. 3. Create Report Sections: Produces a strategic introduction, conclusion, table of contents, and title page using AI. 4. Format and Combine: Converts all sections into styled HTML and merges them into a single document. 5. Generate PDF: Converts the HTML into a polished, multi-page PDF using APITemplate.io. 6. Save and Share: Saves the report back to Google Sheets and emails the PDF to a specified recipient.
