Email News Briefing by Keyword from Bright Data with AI Summary Workflow Solution

Workflow overview

Why this workflow matters

Relevant for managed services and support workflows.

This AlekSystem workflow automatically retrieves recent Reuters news articles related to a user-specified keyword, summarizes the main findings using Google Gemini, formats the output into styled HTML, and sends a clean email report to a specified address. 🚀 What It Does Collects news data from Bright Data's Reuters dataset. Sorts and filters top 10 most recent news articles by publication_date. Sends structured news data to Gemini Flash for summarization. Converts Gemini's response (in Markdown) into styled HTML. Delivers a concise news briefing via email, including clickable source links and topic highlights. 🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup User Form: Accepts a keyword from the user via an AlekSystem form trigger. Bright Data API: Posts a discover_new request to Bright Data's Reuters dataset using the keyword. Snapshot Polling: Waits and checks for dataset readiness using the snapshot ID. Data Retrieval: Downloads the news data once the snapshot is complete. Parsing: Filters and sorts the latest 10 articles using a Python Code node. AI Analysis: Google Gemini summarizes the filtered content into one briefing. Markdown → HTML: Converts AI response into styled HTML using Markdown + Code node. Email Delivery: Sends the briefing as an email to a predefined recipient. 🧠 How It Works Polling Control: Uses Wait and If nodes to handle Bright Data snapshot readiness. Date Sorting: Publication dates (ISO 8601 format) are parsed and used for sorting. AI Summarization: Gemini condenses multiple articles into one cohesive summary. Formatting: Clean HTML with readable styles is generated dynamically before sending. 📨 Final Output The email includes: A brief summary of the most important developments Date range of the collected news Topics covered 🔐 Credentials Used Bright Data API (replace YOUR_API_KEY in the HTTP nodes) Google Gemini (Flash) API Email SMTP (configured in Email Send node) ⚠️ Notes You must replace all YOUR_API_KEY placeholders in Bright Data request headers with your actual Bright Data API key. You can customize the keyword prompt and output style freely. I would recommend to keep the sort = relevance option for best chronological results - sorting by date is handled later.
