TikTok Trend Product Radar: spot winning dropshipping products twice a week, automatically

An n8n workflow that scrapes trending TikTok product videos twice a week, has Claude score each product for saturation and audience fit, then logs everything to Google Sheets and pings your Telegram with the top 5.

  1. 1

    Schedule the radar

    Add a Schedule Trigger node set to Monday and Thursday at 09:00. Twice a week is the sweet spot: TikTok trends move fast, but daily runs mostly return the same videos and burn Apify credits.

  2. 2

    Scrape trending product videos with Apify

    Add an HTTP Request node calling Apify's TikTok Scraper actor (clockworks/tiktok-scraper). Request the last 3 days of videos for hashtags #tiktokmademebuyit and #amazonfinds, limited to 50 results, returning video URL, views, likes, and the caption text. Paste your Apify token into an n8n credential — never into the node itself.

  3. 3

    Filter out the noise

    Add a Code node that keeps only videos above 100k views, computes a likes/views engagement ratio, and de-duplicates videos that showcase the same product. You should end up with 10–25 candidate videos per run.

  4. 4

    Let Claude score every product

    Add an HTTP Request node to the Claude API (/v1/messages). System prompt: extract distinct products from the captions and stats, and for each return JSON with product_name, category, why_trending (one sentence), target_audience, and saturation (low / medium / high). Instruct it to answer with JSON only — no prose — so the next node can parse it directly.

  5. 5

    Log everything to Google Sheets

    Add a Google Sheets node in append mode. One row per product: date, product name, category, saturation, engagement ratio, source video URL. Within a month this sheet becomes your private trend database — and the raw material for content if you publish your own picks.

  6. 6

    Get the top 5 in Telegram

    Add a Telegram node that sends the 5 highest-scoring products (low saturation + high engagement first) as a short digest to your channel or DM. Product research now takes zero minutes of your week — you just read the message and pick what to test.
