Automated Local Event Monitor with Bright Data & OpenAI

This n8n workflow automates monitoring of local events from platforms like Eventbrite, Meetup, and Facebook Events. A scheduled trigger initiates scraping using Bright Data for reliable data extraction across sites, filtering by location, date range, city radius, and keywords. Note: Requires self-hosted n8n with community nodes.

OpenAI processes the data to classify events (e.g., conferences, meetups, workshops) and extract key details such as venue, organizers, ticket prices, and more. Results are formatted into daily digests posted to Slack for real-time team alerts and archived in Airtable for searchable records and historical tracking.

Benefits include saving hours of manual research, ensuring no missed networking, sponsorship, or prospecting opportunities, and providing AI-enriched insights for better decisions. Use cases: Community managers curate event calendars; sales teams target trade shows; event planners avoid date conflicts; marketers identify speaking or sponsorship slots.

Setup: Import JSON, add credentials for Bright Data, OpenAI, Slack, Airtable; customize filters in Set node. Supports marketing and event management automation.
