Creating automated internet searches for an investment portfolio

How To
1

What are you trying to achieve?

My goal is to create an automation that can give me daily news updates from the internet for 50+ companies from my investment portfolio. I want to receive a daily report that shows the list of companies and the news/info that have been found for each one of those companies. The bot should run everyday in the morning and email me the report. I just started using make, is this possible? what apps do you recommend for each module? thx in advance

Welcome to the Make community!

Sure, this is definitely possible.

I would suggest completing the Make Academy before jumping into building a complete scenario.

If you need specific assistance when you are building a scenario it’s easier to help you then.

Otherwise, you can also hire a professional by posting in the #solution-exchange:professional-services category.

Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

@Ricardo_Muelle Hi, you need the following things :

  • News api - you can choose any service that is free or low cost and make requests for the same.

In make :

  1. Google sheets / airtable module - to retrieve the list of companies.
  2. HTTP request module - to make api calls to fetch news articles.
  3. Iterator module - to process the news api.
  4. you can use array aggregator - to bifurcate news data.
  5. Either use your gmail to get all the finished data or store that into new sheet.
  6. You can schedule this scenario for everyday.

If you need any further help please reach out.

Thanks for your response, i am having trouble with the google sheets list. I have the google sheets document with the entire list of 50 companies and i have set a perplexity ai module to search news on each of this companies. My problem is that Perplexity is only grabbing one row or company. It performs the internet search but only for that company and not the entire list. How do i set it so each company gets searched and not only one? thx in advance
