Stop copying and pasting trends into spreadsheets. Connect Exploding Topics to your existing tools and let automations do the heavy lifting.
Automate Everyday Trend Spotting Tasks with Zapier
No coding required. Connect Exploding Topics to the apps you already use — Google Sheets, Notion, Slack, and more — and set up automations that run on a schedule so trend data is always where you need it, when you need it.
6 Different Zapier Event Types to Personalize Your Data Feeds
Choose from six action event types — Get Trending Topics, Get Products, Get Startups, Get Meta Trends, Get Topic Details, and Search Topic Database — to trigger automations in any connected app. Collect trends by keyword, flag topics that meet your criteria, or generate content briefs automatically.
Build AI Agents That Think and Act on Trends with n8n
For more complex workflows, use the Exploding Topics API in a n8n HTTP Request node to build AI agents that go beyond simple automations. Cross-reference trend data with other sources, pull in LLMs, and include human review checkpoints — all in one workflow.
Automate the Analysis, Not Just the Data Collection
Use n8n to build agents that identify content gaps for trending topics, generate SEO briefs, source leads from trending startups, validate trends against your team's submissions, or assess competitive gaps in your product category. An AI chat builder is available to help you get started, even if you're not a developer.
The Exploding Topics API: The Engine Behind It All
Both integrations run on the Exploding Topics API. And if you want to go further, it's available for custom builds, too. Developers can use the API to create their own trend tracking and analysis tools, tailored exactly to how their business operates.
Exploding Topics Pro is trusted by 1,200+ teams worldwide.

Integrations: Automate Trend Discovery and Save Hours Every Week
Spotting trends early is only half the battle. The other half is moving fast enough to actually do something with that information.
We noticed that, for most teams, that meant manually checking Exploding Topics, copying data into spreadsheets, briefing colleagues, and repeating the process week after week. It works, but it's slow. And in a market where timing is everything, slow is costly.
That's why we built Exploding Topics integrations with Zapier and n8n.
By connecting Exploding Topics to Zapier or n8n, you can automate the repetitive parts of your trend research workflow and free up time to actually act on the data and grow your business.
Simple Automations, Big Impact with Zapier
Zapier makes it easy to build automations between Exploding Topics and the tools your team already uses, with no coding required. Set up a workflow that automatically pulls trending topics by keyword into a Google Sheet every week. Add a filter so only topics above a certain growth threshold get flagged. Route those flagged topics straight into your project management app as tasks, ready for your team to act on.
What used to take an hour of manual work now happens in the background, on a schedule, automatically.
AI Agents That Do the Heavy Lifting with n8n
For teams with more complex research needs, n8n takes automation a step further. Using the Exploding Topics API in a n8n workflow, you can build AI agents that both collect trend data and analyze it.
Imagine an agent that pulls trending startups in your category, researches their growth signals, and delivers a formatted lead summary to your sales team every Monday. Or one that identifies content gaps for trending topics, generates SEO briefs, and adds them to your content calendar automatically.
All it takes is one n8n workflow.
Trend Data That Works As Hard As You Do
Whether you're a solo operator looking to save a few hours a week or a larger team trying to systematize your market research, Exploding Topics integrations meet you where you are. Start simple with Zapier, or go deeper with n8n. Either way, you'll spend less time gathering data and more time acting on it.
