PR Newswire Keyword Monitor with n8n + Apify (NexGenData)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

An n8n workflow that uses the verified Apify node. NexGenData has no verified n8n node β€” you run a public-data Apify actor inside n8n through Apify’s verified node, on a schedule, with your own Apify token.

The problem: press releases break while you’re not looking

Funding rounds, acquisitions, exec changes, and launches hit the newswire first. If you track competitors, clients, sectors, or tickers, you need those announcements the day they post. A scheduled n8n workflow watches PR Newswire for your keywords and routes new hits to your inbox, Slack, or a sheet.

Who this is for

Comms, PR, competitive-intel, agencies, analysts, and founders who want keyword-based press monitoring without manual checking.

The n8n workflow

  1. Schedule Trigger β€” daily or several times a day.
  2. Apify node β†’ Run Actor β€” PR Newswire Releases, with your keywords/companies in the input.
  3. Get Dataset Items β€” title, URL, summary, publication date.
  4. Filter / Remove Duplicates β€” match keywords, drop releases already seen (dedupe by URL).
  5. Send to destination β€” Gmail or Slack digest, Google Sheets log, or HTTP Request to a CRM.
