Easily Integrate Exploding Topics With Zapier and n8n

Exploding Topics is now available as a Zapier app connection, making it easier than ever to pair our trend spotting platform with the rest of your tools you use to run your business. You can also use it in an HTTP Request node with n8n to build complex AI workflows that streamline multi-step tasks.

The Exploding Topics API offers users the chance to create custom integrations, but now you don’t need to be a developer to build time-saving trend analysis automations.

With your API key and a Zapier account, you can streamline content idea generation and product analysis by connecting Exploding Topics to your project management app or Google Sheets.

Or, tackle more complex tasks like competitor analysis or market research with help from your very own AI agent built with Exploding Topics and n8n.

These new integrations open the door for Exploding Topics users to bring more connectivity between the platforms that make their businesses run smoothly and save valuable hours on repetitive (but necessary!) tasks.

Automate Everyday Trend Spotting With Zapier

Zapier is the best tool for creating streamlined, linear automations between a couple of platforms. It’s ideal for taking everyday tasks off your plate.

The Exploding Topics Zapier app connection offers six action event types you can use to trigger automations in another connected app:

• Get Meta Trends
• Get Products
• Get Startups
• Get Topic Details
• Get Trending Topics
• Search Topic Database

You can use these action events to quickly collect all the trends related to a certain keyword in a Google Sheet, add trends or meta trends that meet specific requirements to your project management app, or even generate content briefs for specific topics in Google Docs.

The action events run on a schedule, which is another benefit of using Zapier to automate routine or recurring tasks.

If you’re not quite sure how to make the most of Exploding Topics in Zapier, you can use Zapier’s Copilot-powered workflow builder to ask for exactly what you need.

In order to use the new Zapier integration you’ll just need a Zapier account—free or pro—and your Exploding Topics API key, which is available with the Business Plan.

Build Trend Analyzing AI Agents With n8n

For more complex tasks you’d like to automate, you can use your Exploding Topics API in an HTTP Request node in your n8n AI agents. This is an excellent solution for connecting multiple sources of data to carry out large scale analysis that informs business decisions.

One example is building an agent to handle your daily market research routine.

You could also build agents to:

• Find content gaps for trending topics, generate SEO briefs for blog posts, and add topics to your trend-matched content calendar
• Identify competitive gaps based on meta trends in your product category
• Use AI to assess the relevance of trending topics to your audience and generate viable ad copy options based on the results
• Source leads from trending startups, research their current growth and other background information, and deliver a lead summary to your sales team
• Validate trends submitted by your team against Exploding Topics data and generate a confidence score to inform decision making

In addition to the ability to handle more complex workflows, the advantages of n8n over Zapier include the ability to cross-reference information against databases or using LLMs and the option to include pauses for human review.

Although n8n is more technical than Zapier and has a steeper learning curve, it also includes a chat-based AI builder that can help you create your agents.

A paid n8n account is required, but a two-week free trial is available. You’ll also need your Exploding Topics API key, as well as API keys for other tools you want to incorporate into your agent.

Discover All the Possibilities of the Exploding Topics API

Our new Zapier and n8n integrations make the Exploding Topics API more accessible to non-developers than ever. The ability to automate so many different areas of your business is now just a few clicks away.

For more custom solutions, you can still use the Exploding Topics API to build your own trend tracking and analysis tools.
