What it is: In version 1.78, n8n introduced a dedicated node to use the OpenRouter service, which lets you to use a lot of different LLM models and providers and change models on the fly in an agentic workflow. For prior n8n versions, there's a workaround to make OpenRouter accessible, by using the OpenAI node with a OpenRouter-specific BaseURL. This trivial workflow demonstrates this for version before 1.78, so that you can use different LLM model dynamically with the available n8n nodes for OpenAI LLM and OpenAI credentials. What you can do: Use any of the OpenRouter models Have the model even dynamically configured or changing (by some external config, some rule, or some specific chat message) Setup steps: Import the workflow Ensure you have registered and account, purchased some credits and created and API key for OpenRouter.ai Configure the "OpenRouter" credentials with your own credentials, using an OpenAI type credential, but making sure in the credential's config form its "Base URL" is set to https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 so OpenRouter is used instead of OpenAI. Open the "Settings" node and change the model value to any valid model id from the OpenRouter models list or even have the model property set dynamically

I am submitting this workflow for the Obsidian community to showcase the potential of integrating Obsidian with n8n. While straightforward, it serves as a compelling demonstration of the potential unlocked by integrating Obsidian with n8n. How it works This workflow lets you retrieve specific Airtable data you need in seconds, directly within your Obsidian note, using n8n. By highlighting a question in Obsidian and sending it to a webhook via the Post Webhook Plugin, you can fetch specific data from your Airtable base and instantly insert the response back into your note. The workflow leverages OpenAI’s GPT model to interpret your query, extract relevant data from Airtable, and format the result for seamless integration into your note. Set up steps Install the Post Webhook Plugin: Add this plugin to your Obsidian vault from the plugin store or GitHub. Set up the n8n Webhook: Copy the webhook URL generated in this workflow and insert it into the Post Webhook Plugin's settings in Obsidian. Configure Airtable Access: Link your Airtable account and specify the desired base and table to pull data from. Test the Workflow: Highlight a question in your Obsidian note, use the “Send Selection to Webhook” command, and verify that data is returned as expected.

Who is this for? This workflow is designed for SEO specialists, content creators, marketers, and website developers who want to ensure their web content is easily accessible, understandable, and indexable by Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. If you're looking to optimize your site for the evolving AI-driven search landscape, this template is for you. What problem is this workflow solving? / Use case Modern AI tools often crawl websites without executing JavaScript. This can lead to them "seeing" a very different version of your page than a human user or traditional search engine bot might. This workflow helps you: Identify how much of your content is visible without JavaScript. Check for crucial on-page SEO elements that AI relies on (headings, meta descriptions, structured data). Detect if your site presents JavaScript-blocking warnings. Get an AI-generated readability score and actionable recommendations to improve AI-friendliness. What this workflow does Receives a URL via a chat interface. Sanitizes the input URL to ensure it's correctly formatted. Fetches the website's HTML content, simulating a non-JavaScript crawler (like Googlebot). Extracts key HTML features: visible text length, presence of H1/H2/H3 tags, meta description, Open Graph data, structured data (JSON-LD), and <noscript> tags. It also checks for common JavaScript-blocking messages. Performs an AI SEO Analysis using an LLM (via OpenAI) based on the extracted features. Provides a report including an AI Readability Score (0-10), a summary, actionable recommendations, and a reminder to check the robots.txt file for AI bot access. Setup Estimated setup time:** 2-5 minutes. Import this workflow into your n8n instance. Ensure you have an OpenAI account and API key. Configure the "OpenAI Chat Model" node with your OpenAI API credentials. If you don't have credentials set up yet, create new ones in n8n. Activate the workflow. Interact with the chat interface provided by the "When chat message received" trigger node (you can access this via its webhook URL). How to customize this workflow to your needs Change LLM Model:** In the "OpenAI Chat Model" node, you can select a different model that suits your needs or budget. Adjust AI Prompt:** Modify the prompt in the "AI SEO Analysis" node (Chain Llm) to change the focus of the analysis or the format of the report. For example, you could ask for more technical details or a different scoring system. User-Agent:** The "Get HTML from Website" node uses a Googlebot User-Agent. You can change this to simulate other bots if needed. JS Block Indicators:** The "Extract HTML Features" node contains a list of common JavaScript-blocking phrases. You can expand this list with other languages or specific messages relevant to your checks.

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. How it works This workflow demonstrates how to create a resilient AI Agent that automatically falls back to a different language model if the primary one fails. This is useful for handling API errors, rate limits, or model outages without interrupting your process. State Initialization: The Agent Variables node initializes a fail_count to 0. This counter tracks how many models have been attempted. Dynamic Model Selection: The Fallback Models (a LangChain Code node) acts as a router. It receives a list of all connected AI models and, based on the current fail_count, selects which one to use for this attempt (0 for the first model, 1 for the second, etc.). Agent Execution: The AI Agent node attempts to run your prompt using the model selected by the router. The Fallback Loop: On Success: The workflow completes successfully. On Error: If the AI Agent node fails, its "On Error" output is triggered. This path loops back to the Agent Variables node, which increments the fail_count by 1. The process then repeats, causing the Fallback Models router to select the next model in the list. Final Failure: If all connected models are tried and fail, the workflow will stop with an error. Set up steps Setup time: ~3-5 minutes Configure Credentials: Ensure you have the necessary credentials (e.g., for OpenAI, Google AI) configured in your n8n instance. Define Your Model Chain: Add the AI model nodes you want to use to the canvas (e.g., OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic). Connect them to the Fallback Models node. Important: The order in which you connect the models determines the fallback order. The model nodes first created/connected will be tried first. Set Your Prompt: Open the AI Agent node and enter the prompt you want to execute. Test: Run the workflow. To test the fallback logic, you can temporarily disable the First Model node or configure it with invalid credentials to force an error.
