An n8n workflow that uses the verified Apify node. NexGenData has no verified n8n node — you run public-data Apify actors inside n8n through Apify’s verified node, on a schedule, with your own Apify token.
The problem: mentions happen everywhere, and you see them late
Your brand, competitors, and key accounts get mentioned across news and the web every day. Catching a funding announcement, a competitor launch, or a PR risk late means a missed play. A scheduled n8n workflow watches for your keywords and routes new mentions into Slack, Sheets, Airtable, or Gmail.
Who this is for
Marketing, comms, agencies, and founders who want event-driven monitoring without manual searching.
The n8n workflow
- Schedule Trigger — daily or several times a day.
- Apify node → Run Actor — Brand Mention Monitor (news/web, with sentiment); add PR Newswire Releases for official announcements.
- Get Dataset Items — title, source, date, URL, sentiment.
- Filter / IF / Remove Duplicates — match keywords, drop mentions already seen, branch on sentiment.
- Send to destination — Slack channel, Gmail digest, Google Sheets, or Airtable.
Sample input (keyword list)
| keyword | type |

Sample output (mentions routed to Slack/Sheets)

| Initech | Initech cuts 12% of supply chain staff | Web/News | negative | pause sequence |
Illustrative sample.
Run it on a schedule
Scheduled runs make monitoring continuous: a positive signal can route to your outbound channel within hours, and a risk signal can flag an account to pause before a rep sends something off-key.

FAQ
Can I branch on sentiment? Yes — use an IF node to route positive signals to outbound and risk signals to a pause/flag action.
How do I avoid duplicate mentions? Use the Remove Duplicates node keyed on the mention URL.
Is this a verified NexGenData n8n node? No — it’s an n8n workflow using Apify’s verified n8n node with your own Apify token.
