What it does
This workflow digests mentions of n8n on Reddit that can be sent as an single email or Slack summary each week. We use OpenAI to classify if a specific Reddit post is really about n8n or not, and then the summarise it into a bullet point sentence. How it works 1. Get posts from Reddit that might be about n8n; 2. Filter for the most relevant posts (posted in last 7 days and more than 5 upvotes and is original content); 3. Check if the post is actually about n8n; 4. If it is, categorise with OpenAI. Bear in mind: Workflow only considers first 500 characters of each reddit post. So if n8n is mentioned after this amount, it won't register as being a post about n8n.io. Next steps - Improve OpenAI Summary node prompt to return cleaner summaries; - Extend to more platforms/sources - e.g. it would be really cool to monitor larger Slack communities in this way; - Do some classification on type of user to highlight users likely to be in our ICP; - Separate a list of data sources (reddit, twitter, slack, discord etc.), extract messages from there and have them go to a sub workflow for classification and summarisation.
