Every Monday the Schedule Trigger starts the workflow.\n2. The **Settings** node holds your topics (one per line), the country and the period.\n3. The **Google Trends Scraper API** Actor on Apify (`plainrows/google-trends-explorer`) runs one Google Trends search per topic and returns related queries and topics, top and rising, as flat rows.\n4. A Code node keeps the rising queries and topics (with their growth in %, or \"Breakout\").\n5. One dated row per rising search is appended to the `Rising` tab.\n\n### Requirements\n- An Apify account (free plan available) and its API token.\n- A Google Sheets account and a spreadsheet with a `Rising` tab.\n- The Apify node is the verified community node `@apify/n8n-nodes-apify` (available on n8n Cloud; on self-hosted n8n install it from Settings > Community nodes).\n\n### How to customize\n- Edit `topics`, `country` (a two-letter code or `WORLDWIDE`) and `timeRange` (`past_7_days`, `past_30_days`, `past_90_days`...) in **Settings**.\n- Send the list to Slack or email instead of Sheets.\n- Keep the top queries too by removing the `listType` filter in the Code node.\n\nPricing: one Google Trends search per topic per week; searches with no data are free.",
