This n8n demonstrates how to build a simple Youtube MCP server to look up videos on Youtube and download their transcripts for research purposes. Youtube videos are a great source of new and updated information on a variety of cutting edge developments but they''re are not always simple to understand and lengthy videos may take too much time. Using this MCP server, you extract and feed their transcripts for your AI agents which then allows it to breakdown the content into manageble learnings and insights. How it works A MCP server trigger is used and connected to 3 custom workflow tools: Youtube Search, Youtube Transcripts and Usage Reports. Both Youtube tools use an external scraping service called APIFY.com. This is my preference as it's a much simpler interface and there are no rate limits. The Youtube Search fetches 10 results based on the user's query. The Youtube Transcripts downloads the subtitles from one or more given URL. The usage reports pulls in your monthly APIFY.com monthly spending and limits as a way to check your account. How to use This Apify Youtube MCP server allows any compatible MCP client to research YouTube videos for any desired topic.

Route procurement helpdesk tickets from Gmail with Groq and Slack
Quick Overview This workflow monitors a Gmail inbox for procurement requests, uses Groq (Llama 3.1) to classify and route each ticket with SLA logic, escalates high-risk items to Slack, creates a ticket via HTTP, sends an auto-reply from Gmail, and logs the full record to Google Sheets. How it works Triggers every minute when a new email arrives in a Gmail inbox. Extracts the sender, subject, body, timestamps, and Gmail thread/message IDs, and generates a procurement ticket ID. Looks up the email thread ID in Google Sheets to identify whether the request already exists. Uses Groq (Llama 3.1) to classify the request (category, urgency, sentiment, risk, team) and applies routing rules to set SLA deadlines, queues, and escalation flags. If escalation is required, posts a detailed alert to a Slack channel and creates an escalated ticket via an HTTP request; otherwise, creates a standard ticket via an HTTP request. Generates a short agent-facing status summary with Groq, emails the customer an acknowledgement and suggested reply via Gmail, and appends the full ticket and AI outputs to Google Sheets.

Find YouTube creator emails with Apify, OpenAI and Google Sheets
Quick overview This workflow searches YouTube via Apify for videos matching a keyword, deduplicates the resulting channels, scrapes each channel’s About description, uses OpenAI to extract contact email addresses, and appends channels with emails to a Google Sheets tab. How it works Starts when you manually execute the workflow. Sends a keyword-based search request to the Apify YouTube Scraper to retrieve recent YouTube results and their channel URLs. Deduplicates the results so each channel URL is processed only once. Scrapes each channel’s About/description data using an Apify YouTube Scraper request. Uses OpenAI to extract and de-obfuscate any email addresses found in the channel description. Keeps only channels where at least one email address was extracted. Appends the channel name, channel URL, extracted emails, search query, and the current date to Google Sheets. Setup Add an Apify API token using an HTTP Header Auth credential (Authorization: Bearer ) and connect it to both Apify HTTP Request steps. Add an OpenAI API key credential and choose the model name you want to use in the Configuration values. Connect your Google Sheets OAuth credential, then set the target spreadsh
