Daily News Aggregation with Perplexity AI & MongoDB
Automates daily global news collection via Perplexity AI, parses and stores in MongoDB, then sends email summaries for easy monitoring.
This workflow automates the daily aggregation of global news using Perplexity AI, ensuring consistent capture of headlines, timestamps, sources, and URLs every morning at 8:00 AM UTC via a Cron trigger. It queries Perplexity for structured news data, formats the response with custom JavaScript in a Code node to create a clean JSON array, and loops through each item to insert into a MongoDB 'daily_news' collection.
After storage, another Code node aggregates the processed items into a digest, providing visibility into the pipeline's performance. A final Gmail node sends a summary email confirming success and highlighting key news items. This setup requires self-hosted n8n due to community nodes.
Benefits include time-saving automation for business intelligence, reliable data storage for analysis, and instant notifications. Ideal for teams in knowledge retrieval, market monitoring, or education needing curated daily news feeds without manual effort.
