Truth Social Iran-Israel Risk Alerts with n8n, Bright Data & OpenAI

Get real-time Truth Social Iran–Israel–US risk alerts—automatically with n8n, Bright Data & OpenAI

This n8n workflow monitors a Truth Social account every minute, uses Bright Data to fetch new posts, classifies Iran–Israel–US tension relevance with OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini), and sends only the most relevant items to your Discord channel with clear severity and a one-sentence reason.

What this workflow does

• Runs on a cron schedule every minute to poll for new Truth Social statuses.
• Tracks progress with an n8n Data Table cursor: it reads the stored last_id and requests newer statuses from Bright Data.
• Updates the cursor safely: when new statuses are returned, it extracts content and timestamp, then saves the highest status ID from the batch back to last_id.
• Prefilters before calling OpenAI using a keyword/regex check to avoid sending obviously irrelevant posts for classification.
• Classifies relevance with OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini) to produce a relevance flag, a severity level, and a one-sentence reason.
• Sends formatted alerts to Discord only for items OpenAI marks as relevant.

Use cases

• Monitor emerging discussion around Iran–Israel–US tensions for analysts, operators, or risk teams.
• Enable an automation pipeline for social media signal detection without manual scanning of Truth Social.
• Speed up moderation/triage workflows by routing only relevant posts to a Discord alert channel.
