Preliminary Company Research
Created By: Markathon
This workflow is an automated meeting prep assistant built on n8n. It scrapes and delivers a curated list of the latest news articles about companies you’re scheduled to meet with, so you’re always informed before jumping on a call.
What it does
- Daily schedule scan: Runs every morning at 7 AM and checks your Google Calendar for upcoming meetings.
- Smart meeting filter: Identifies meetings starting with “Call with” or “Meeting with” to target relevant events.
- Company name extraction: Automatically extracts the company name from each meeting title.
- News gathering: Queries the News API for recent articles about the company, based on a configurable number of days and article count.
- Content formatting: Uses custom HTML formatting to generate a clean, readable email summary of all articles.
- Email delivery: Sends the news briefing to your inbox (or any address you set) before your call.
- Fallback handling: If no relevant meetings are found, the workflow gracefully stops.
How you benefit
- Stay informed with zero effort: Automatically get the latest company news before every call—no more last-minute Googling.
- Boost call readiness: Walk into meetings with recent insights, media mentions, and talking points that impress.
- Save valuable prep time: The workflow handles daily scanning, news scraping, and formatting for you.
- Customize for your workflow: Set how recent the news should be, how many articles you want, and who gets the report.
- No missed opportunity: Make every sales, partnership, or networking call count with up-to-date context—all automated.
