TikTok Creator Growth Tracker (n8n + Apify, Google Sheets, Telegram)

Track TikTok creator growth automatically—baseline + change alerts in Telegram

This n8n automation workflow monitors a TikTok creator watchlist by scraping profile metrics with Apify, saving snapshots to Google Sheets, and sending Telegram alerts whenever a creator’s metrics or qualification status changes.

What this workflow does

• Runs manually or weekly: You can trigger it on demand, or schedule it to run every Monday at 09:00.
• Reads your watchlist + thresholds from the Google Sheets “Creators” tab and validates/normalizes the TikTok handles.
• Scrapes latest TikTok profile metrics by starting the FetchCat’s TikTok profile scraper via Apify and downloading the latest metrics from the actor dataset.
• Calculates changes by normalizing metrics and comparing them against the previous values stored in Google Sheets “Current Profiles” to determine follower/like/video changes and qualification status.
• Sends Telegram messages for the first baseline snapshot or when meaningful growth/decline and/or qualification status changes are detected.
• Stores everything for auditing: appends a dated row per creator to “Snapshot History” and upserts the latest metrics into “Current Profiles”.

Use cases

• Monitor a creator shortlist for brand partnerships and track momentum over time.
• Run weekly TikTok analytics monitoring for SaaS ops teams managing influencer or audience KPIs.
• Provide stakeholders with Telegram change notifications without manually checking profiles.
