Schedule Trigger Automate

This workflow is ideal for:

• Product Managers looking to track daily trending products on Product Hunt.
• Marketers aiming to gather insights on new product launches for promotional strategies.
• Developers wanting to automate the collection of product information for analysis or integration into other systems.
• Entrepreneurs seeking to stay updated with the latest innovations in their industry.

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually tracking and collecting daily posts from Product Hunt. It automates the process of fetching trending products, extracting relevant information, and storing it in Google Sheets, saving time and ensuring that users never miss out on important product launches.

1. Daily Trigger: The workflow starts with a scheduled trigger that activates daily, ensuring it runs at the same time each day.
2. Set Date: The current date is set in a format suitable for querying the Product Hunt API.
3. Fetch Posts: An HTTP request is made to the Product Hunt API to retrieve posts from the current day, ensuring only relevant data is collected.
4. Extract Product Info: The response from the API is processed to extract important product details such as name, tagline, description, and website.
5. Resolve Website Redirection: Each product's website is checked for any redirection to ensure accurate URLs are stored.
6. Data Preparation: The relevant product information and resolved URLs are organized for the next steps.
7. Merge Data: The product data and website redirection data are merged to create a comprehensive dataset.
8. Store in Google Sheets: Finally, all the collected information is appended to a Google Sheets document for easy access and further analysis.
