Automate Research with Supabase & Notion: n8n Workflow

Transform your research process with this powerful n8n workflow that automatically conducts comprehensive web research, generates intelligent analysis, and creates searchable knowledge bases in Notion and Supabase. Perfect for market research, competitive intelligence, and strategic planning automation.

What this workflow does

This automated research system streamlines complex information gathering through a sophisticated multi-agent approach. Simply set your research topic via manual trigger, and the workflow launches three parallel Tavily web search queries for comprehensive data collection. Two specialized AI agents process results simultaneously: a Summarizer Agent powered by Groq Llama 3.3 70B creates factual summaries, while an Analyst Agent using OpenRouter GPT delivers deep trend analysis. A Synthesis Agent then combines both outputs into a structured executive report featuring key findings, strategic implications, and actionable recommendations. The final report is automatically chunked, saved as a new Notion database page, embedded with OpenAI, and indexed in Supabase for powerful semantic search capabilities.

Use cases

• Market research automation for product launches and competitive analysis
• Industry trend monitoring with automated insights generation
• Strategic planning support with comprehensive data synthesis
• Knowledge base creation for teams requiring searchable research archives
• Due diligence processes requiring multi-source information compilation

Technical details

Built with essential n8n nodes including Set, Code, Merge, Notion, HTTP Request, and Sticky Note components. The workflow integrates multiple AI providers: Tavily for web search, Groq Llama 3.3 70B for summarization and synthesis, OpenRouter GPT for analysis, and OpenAI for embeddings. Data flows seamlessly between Notion for structured storage and Supabase for vector-based semantic search functionality.

Setup requires API credentials for Tavily, Groq, and OpenRouter (approximately 10 minutes), plus Notion OAuth2 connection and Supabase configuration with vector column support. This comprehensive automation solution transforms manual research into an intelligent, scalable process that delivers consistent, high-quality insights.
