Automated Stock Risk Alerts: Google Sheets & AI Workflow

Stop checking your stock portfolio manually and risking missed alerts. This automated stock risk monitoring workflow connects Google Sheets with real-time market data and AI analysis to send intelligent email alerts only when your investments need attention.

What this workflow does

This n8n automation reads your stock portfolio directly from Google Sheets, fetches live market prices through the Twelve Data API, and calculates critical risk metrics including price drops and volatility. When predefined risk thresholds are exceeded, Groq AI generates clear, human-readable summaries and sends targeted email alerts via Gmail. No spam, no noise—just actionable intelligence when you need it most.

The workflow processes each stock individually, enriching your portfolio data with current market prices, computing percentage changes, and flagging securities that require attention. Instead of overwhelming you with raw numbers, the AI component creates professional summaries that highlight what matters.

Perfect for these use cases

• Active traders monitoring multiple positions across different markets
• Portfolio managers needing automated risk surveillance for client assets
• Investment advisors tracking diversified portfolios without constant manual checking
• Individual investors who want professional-grade monitoring without premium software costs
