Monitor news risk with Google News, Groq (Llama 3), and Gmail alerts

AI-Powered News Risk Monitoring & Alert System (Google News + Groq + Gmail)

---

This workflow acts as an automated, proactive monitoring system that separates "market noise" from actual "market risk". Instead of flooding your inbox with every single news mention about a company or topic, it uses artificial intelligence (Llama 3 via Groq) to act as a virtual risk analyst. The AI reviews recent Google News articles, categorizes the risk as Low, Medium or High and only sends you an email alert when the risk is significant (Medium or High).

Fast Track Setup

1. Prepare your Data: Create a Google Sheet named "Risk Keywords" and list your target companies or terms under a "Keyword" column. 2. Connect Credentials: Add your Google Sheets, Groq API and Gmail credentials to your n8n instance. 3. Configure Nodes: Select your specific spreadsheet in the "Fetch Risk Keywords" node and update the "Gmail Alert Dispatcher" node with your recipient email address. 4. Run: Trigger the workflow manually to start receiving your filtered risk alerts.

What It Does

This workflow automates the tedious process of monitoring the news for potential business risks. It begins by fetching a customized list of keywords — such as company names, competitors or industry terms — from a Google Sheet. It then processes these keywords one by one, using an iterator to safely manage the flow of data.

For each keyword, the workflow scrapes the top 4 most recent articles from a Google News RSS feed. To ensure the system doesn't overwhelm the AI service with too many requests at once, it introduces a brief 2-second rate-limit delay.
