Workflow
The author built an n8n workflow using Bright Data and Google Gemini to scrape Reddit posts and comments, extract themes, and generate structured reports in Notion. The process involves a schedule trigger, RSS reading, Bright Data snapshot polling, and AI analysis. The source does not specify how a human remained involved in the execution or review of these automated reports.
Reported result
The source does not report any measured outcomes, such as accuracy rates, time saved, or user adoption. It only describes the technical implementation and the author's experience with Notion API formatting challenges. No evidence proves the workflow successfully delivered actionable insights to end-users.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include n8n, Bright Data, and Google Gemini accounts. The author noted significant difficulty converting AI output to Notion blocks. Source reliability is secondary, as it is a challenge submission without verified performance data. Human approval steps are not defined in the original text.
Try it
Act as an automation engineer. I need to set up an n8n workflow to monitor [replaceable: subreddit name] and generate insights in Notion. Use Bright Data for scraping and Google Gemini for analysis. First, configure a Schedule Trigger and RSS Read node to fetch recent posts. Use Bright Data's triggerCollectionByUrl and monitorProgressSnapshot to get full comment threads. Pass this data to a Gemini AI Agent node with a system prompt to extract [replaceable: specific themes, e.g., product pain points]. Convert the JSON output to Markdown and use Notion nodes to create a new page. Before running the full workflow, execute a dry run with [replaceable: 3 sample posts]. Show me the generated Notion page content for my approval. Do not proceed to scheduled automation until I confirm the output format is correct. If Bright Data fails, retry up to 3 times with a 30-second wait. If Notion API errors occur, log the specific block conversion failure.
