Designed and implemented an n8n workflow to automate Zoom meeting management by integrating Zoom with Notion. It fetches scheduled meetings, prevents duplicates, and logs structured data into a Notion database. Fully customizable with client-specific API credentials, database configurations, and deduplication logic. Supports optional Slack and Email notifications. Built with n8n, Zoom API, Notion API, and JavaScript (Custom Code Nodes) to enhance efficiency and streamline meeting tracking.

An automated content curation workflow was built to log newly added YouTube videos from specific playlists into Notion, enabling structured content storage for LLM training. The system continuously monitors YouTube playlists for new videos and, using n8n, creates a dedicated Notion page for each entry. Each page includes essential metadata such as the video title, channel name, video URL, channel link, duration, and auto-extracted tags (if available). Videos are embedded directly into Notion for seamless playback, and an optional transcript extraction feature, powered by Whisper, allows for deeper AI training integration. This solution can also be extended to automatically log videos from subscribed channels. Leveraging n8n, YouTube API, Notion API, and Whisper, the workflow streamlines research and knowledge aggregation, enabling centralized video tracking for educational and AI training purposes while significantly reducing manual effort in content collection and organization.

An automated deduplication and record management system was developed for Notion databases to ensure data integrity by efficiently detecting and handling duplicate records.
