Step 2: Add and Configure the Webhook Node
Start your workflow with a Webhook node. This node listens for questions or topics — either from a website, chatbot, or internal app — and triggers real-time analytics whenever data arrives.
Step 3: Pulse Agent Node — The Brain of the Workflow
The Webhook connects to a Pulse Agent (advanced prompt engineering inside an “Agent” node). This agent analyzes the user’s request and attached metadata to decide what kind of insight to fetch.
- If the request is about tech leaders, it routes to the appropriate data source.
- If the request is for memes/trends, breaking news, or historical events, the agent dynamically switches tools and provides structured instructions.
Step 4: Specialized Analysis Nodes
There are six key analytics options, each as a separate HTTP Request node:
- Updates from Tech Leaders: Analyzes posts from big-name accounts (Musk, Brockman, LeCun, Hassabis, etc.)
- Find Memes and Trends: Scans for viral memes and trending content.
- Real-Time Breaking News: Tracks news and major developments as they happen.
- Multi-Source Analysis: Combines info from X, mainstream web, and selected news.
- Historical Events: Looks back at past discussions for timeline/sentiment tracking.
- Community Pulse Check: Focuses on technical insights and debates within tech/AI communities.
Each node sends your query and routing preference to the X Grok API, which provides structured, citation-backed summaries.
Step 5: Get Results & Return to User
After processing, the workflow collects the answer (with verified X links/citations) and uses a Respond to Webhook node to send a plain-English, reference-rich result back to the user or app.
