What this workflow does
This AI workflow has 29 nodes and runs on a schedule (cron =0 8,12,16 * * *). Along the way it connects Google Gemini, MCP Client and Apify (community).
How it runs
Trigger: On a schedule (cron =0 8,12,16 * * *).

Services it uses
Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0
We can't fully verify this one: it relies on 1 community package, and n8n 3.0 turns unverified community packages off by default (N8N_UNVERIFIED_PACKAGES_ENABLED=false).
- Check that @apify/n8n-nodes-apify is verified or supports 3.0 (used in Run an Actor and get dataset1, Run an Actor and get dataset2).
