n8n Community Topic Tracker by Keyword
This workflow provides an automated solution to keep track of discussions and solutions within the n8n community. By monitoring specified keywords, it helps users stay informed about relevant topics without constant manual checking.
Key Features

- Centralized data storage of topic IDs, URLs, dates, titles, and solution status in Google Sheets.
- Instant notification via Slack or email when new topics are added to your tracking sheet (optional).

How It Works
The workflow begins with a Schedule Trigger set to run hourly. It then uses an HTTP Request node to query the n8n community forum for the latest topics matching your specified keyword. The response is processed by a Split Out node to extract individual topics. Each relevant topic's details, including its ID, URL, creation date, title, and whether it has an accepted solution, are then appended or updated in your designated Google Sheet. Additionally, an optional second branch of the workflow uses a Google Sheets Trigger to detect updates to your sheet and send immediate notifications via Slack or Email, ensuring you're always up-to-date.
