Automated Event Data Collection to Google Sheets

This n8n workflow automates the process of collecting event data from Google searches related to specific keywords such as ‘Events in Texas’. It begins with a manual trigger, allowing the user to customize parameters like search query, number of events, and pagination start point. These parameters are then used to make API requests to SerpApi’s Google Events engine, which scrapes event details from Google search results. The retrieved data, often nested and complex, is flattened and enriched with the search query information for clarity. Finally, the cleaned and structured event data is saved into a Google Sheet for easy analysis and record-keeping. This workflow is ideal for event marketers, researchers, or businesses tracking local events or monitoring specific topics systematically, saving time and ensuring data consistency.
