AI evaluation in n8n This is a template for n8n's evaluation feature. Evaluation is a technique for getting confidence that your AI workflow performs reliably, by running a test dataset containing different inputs through the workflow. By calculating a metric (score) for each input, you can see where the workflow is performing well and where it isn't. How it works This template shows how to calculate a workflow evaluation metric: whether a category matches the expected one. The workflow takes support tickets and generates a category and priority, which is then compared with the correct answers in the dataset. We use an evaluation trigger to read in our dataset It is wired up in parallel with the regular trigger so that the workflow can be started from either one. More info Once the category is generated by the agent, we check whether it matches the expected one in the dataset Finally we pass this information back to n8n as a metric

By calculating a metric (score) for each input, you can see where the workflow is performing well and where it isn't. How it works This template shows how to calculate a workflow evaluation metric: text similarity, measured character-by-character. The workflow takes images of hand-written codes, extracts the code and compares it with the expected answer from the dataset. The images look like this: The workflow works as follows: We use an evaluation trigger to read in our dataset It is wired up in parallel with the regular trigger so that the workflow can be started from either one. More info We download the image and use AI to extract the code If we’re evaluating (i.e. the execution started from the evaluation trigger), we calculate the string distance metric We pass this information back to n8n as a metric

In this guide, we’ll walk you through setting up an AI-driven workflow that automatically processes highly-rated food photos from a Google Sheet, generates AI-powered captions, shares them to Pinterest, and updates the sheet to reflect the posts. Ready to automate your food photo sharing? Let’s dive in! What’s the Goal? Automatically detect and process highly-rated food photos (4 stars or above) from a Google Sheet. Use AI to generate engaging and relevant captions. Share the photos with captions to Pinterest via the Pinterest API. Update the Google Sheet to mark photos as posted. Enable scheduled automation for consistent posting. By the end, you’ll have a self-running system that shares your best food photos effortlessly. Why Does It Matter? Manual photo sharing is time-consuming and inconsistent. Here’s why this workflow is a game changer: Zero Human Error**: AI ensures consistent captions and posting accuracy. Time-Saving Automation**: Automatically handle photo sharing, boosting efficiency. Scheduled Posting**: Maintain a regular presence on Pinterest without manual effort. Focus on Creativity**: Free your team from repetitive posting tasks. Think of it as your tireless social media assistant that keeps your Pinterest feed vibrant. How It Works Here’s the step-by-step magic behind the automation: Step 1: Trigger the Workflow Detect new photos to post using the Daily Post Scheduler node (e.g., once daily). Initiate the workflow at a scheduled time to check for new food photos. Step 2: Fetch Food Photos from Sheet Retrieve rows from the Google Sheet that contain food photo metadata like image URLs, ratings, and status. Step 3: Filter 4+ Star Dishes Filter only those food entries with high ratings (4 stars or above) and unposted status. Step 4: AI Caption Generator Use AI (e.g., GPT/OpenAI) to create engaging and relevant captions for selected food photos. Step 5: Upload to Pinterest Automatically post the food photo with the generated caption to Pinterest via the Pinterest API. Step 6: Mark as Posted in Sheet Update the Google Sheet to reflect that the photo has been successfully shared. How to Use the Workflow? Importing a workflow in n8n is a straightforward process that allows you to use pre-built workflows to save time. Below is a step-by-step guide to importing the Automated Food Photo Sharing workflow in n8n. Steps to Import a Workflow in n8n Obtain the Workflow JSON Source the Workflow: Workflows are shared as JSON files or code snippets, e.g., from the n8n community, a colleague, or exported from another n8n instance. Format: Ensure you have the workflow in JSON format, either as a file (e.g., workflow.json) or copied text. Access the n8n Workflow Editor Log in to n8n (via n8n Cloud or self-hosted instance). Navigate to the Workflows tab in the n8n dashboard. Click Add Workflow to create a blank workflow. Import the Workflow Option 1: Import via JSON Code (Clipboard): Click the three dots (⋯) in the top-right corner to open the menu. Select Import from Clipboard. Paste the JSON code into the text box. Click Import to load the workflow. Option 2: Import via JSON File: Click the three dots (⋯) in the top-right corner. Select Import from File. Choose the .json file from your computer. Click Open to import. Setup Notes Google Sheet Columns**: Ensure your Google Sheet includes the following columns: Image URL, Rating (numeric, e.g., 1-5), Feedback (text), Pin Title, Pin Description, Destination URL, Board ID, and Status (e.g., "Pending" or "Posted"). Google Sheets Credentials**: Configure OAuth2 settings in the Fetch Food Photos node with your Google Sheet ID and credentials. AI Model**: Set up the AI Caption Generator node with OpenAI credentials (e.g., API key). Pinterest API**: Authorize the Upload to Pinterest node with Pinterest API credentials (e.g., Bearer Token) and obtain the Board ID. Scheduling**: Adjust the Daily Post Scheduler node to your preferred posting time (e.g., daily at 9 AM).
