Multilingual News Collector: NewsAPI, OpenAI Summaries to Google Sheets

This workflow fetches the latest news articles from English and Japanese sources using NewsAPI based on keywords from a Google Sheet input tab. It then leverages OpenAI to create ultra-concise summaries (around 50 characters) in Japanese, making it ideal for quick daily briefings. Results including date, keyword, summary, and URL are appended to an output tab in the same Google Sheet.

Benefits include significant time savings for professionals monitoring multilingual news, such as in HR learning & development for global teams or market intelligence. No manual searching or translation needed—everything runs on a daily schedule at 13:00, with customizable triggers. It's perfect for language learning, staying updated on industry news, or curating content for teams.

Use cases: HR teams providing daily news digests for employee development; marketers tracking bilingual trends; or educators compiling simplified news for language classes. Minimal setup: just add your API keys, Sheet ID, and tab names. Sticky notes guide customization, supporting both manual runs and automation.
