Automate Weekly Investment FAQs with NewsAPI & GPT-4.1

Transform your investment advisory practice with this powerful n8n workflow that automatically generates weekly client-ready investment FAQs by combining real-time market news from NewsAPI with portfolio data from Google Sheets, all powered by OpenAI GPT-4.1.

What This Workflow Does

This automation eliminates the manual effort of creating weekly investment updates for your clients. The workflow pulls the latest tech-focused market news using NewsAPI and combines it with structured portfolio data stored in Google Sheets. It analyzes key portfolio metrics including client names, assets, investment amounts, current values, weekly performance changes, risk levels, and sectors.

Using OpenAI GPT-4.1, the system intelligently analyzes portfolio trends such as high-risk assets and declining investments, then generates 5 practical, client-friendly FAQs with concise one-line answers. The final output is automatically structured and saved back to your Google Sheets destination with organized Q1-A5 columns, running every Monday at 8 AM.
