Find Top-Performing Instagram Reels & Save Insights to Notion with Gemini & Apify

This n8n workflow automates the discovery of top-performing Instagram Reels from specified public accounts. Using Apify's Instagram scraper, it fetches recent Reels data including views, likes, comments, and shares. Gemini AI then analyzes engagement metrics, identifies early 'hot' content, translates captions if needed, and extracts key insights.

Results are structured and saved directly into a Notion database with predefined columns for easy review. The workflow includes variables for customizing target accounts, engagement thresholds, and analysis prompts, making it adaptable for ongoing monitoring.

Ideal for marketers, content creators, and social media managers, it saves hours of manual research by providing actionable data on viral trends and competitor strategies. Setup requires self-hosted n8n with community nodes, credentials for Apify, Gemini, and Notion, plus the provided Notion database template. A video walkthrough demonstrates full operation.
