Brief
BrowserAct Flipboard News Scraper & Google Sheets Sync
BrowserAct Flipboard News Scraper & Google Sheets Sync is a Make.com–based automation that enables teams to automatically collect, structure, and store Flipboard news articles in Google Sheets—without manual browsing, copying, or data cleanup.
Instead of manually scrolling Flipboard feeds, opening individual articles, and pasting content into spreadsheets, this workflow automates the entire process inside Make. It continuously extracts article data from Flipboard and syncs it into a structured Google Sheets report, making large-scale news monitoring and content research fast, consistent, and reusable.
What Does BrowserAct Flipboard News Scraper & Google Sheets Sync Do?
BrowserAct Flipboard News Scraper & Google Sheets Sync helps content teams, marketers, and researchers automatically gather Flipboard articles and turn them into clean, structured datasets.
Flipboard pages rely heavily on dynamic loading and infinite scrolling, making manual collection slow and error-prone. Reviewing dozens of articles one by one does not scale and often results in inconsistent data.
This workflow replaces that process with an end-to-end automation orchestrated entirely inside Make. It coordinates automated Flipboard browsing, article extraction, structured data parsing, and Google Sheets synchronization—allowing users to collect large volumes of news data with minimal effort.
The workflow runs with a single input, automatically handles scrolling and extraction, and delivers ready-to-use article data for further analysis or downstream automation.
