Workflow Templates

This n8n template helps you automatically discover, analyze, and track trending topics and videos on YouTube using an AI-powered agent. Use cases are many: This workflow is perfect for YouTube creators needing fresh video ideas, digital marketers scouting new campaign topics, social media managers who want to catch trends early, and researchers who want to analyze what’s viral. How It Works The workflow starts whenever a chat message is received (e.g., a trend question, a topic prompt, or a request for insights). Incoming chat is routed to the AI Agent – Trend Explorer node: First, the agent triggers the Workflow – YouTube Search tool to gather the latest trending topics and keywords from YouTube. Next, the agent supplies this real-time YouTube data to the OpenAI Chat Model for deep analysis, trend interpretation, and unique insights. To provide context-aware answers and track ongoing interests, the agent also references a Simple Memory module, recalling past queries, and user instructions. Finally, the result is a fast, data-driven, and smart trend report delivered instantly to your chat. How To Set Up Download the workflow package (including 2 .json files) and import it into your n8n interface. Set up necessary access in the following components of the AI Agent - Trend Explorer node: OpenAI Chat Model: allows API connection for trend insights. Workflow – YouTube Search: searches for trending videos based on the query. Simple Memory (optional): enhances experience for ongoing sessions. Start by sending a chat message on n8n. Check the response from the AI agent in the same chat box. Ask follow-ups, explore deeper, or trigger new searches - all in one chat thread. Requirements n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud). Set up API access to OpenAI Chat Model for chat-based AI. How To Customize Connect to your favorite chat platforms**: Easily integrate with additional chat triggers such as Telegram, Slack, or your preferred messaging app. Choose your preferred AI model**: If you want a different viewpoint, simply swap OpenAI Chat Model for Google Gemini, Claude, or any compatible LLM model in your workflow. Upgrade memory for smarter conversations: For long-term recall or more advanced, context-aware chats, replace **Simple Memory with a vector database like Pinecone or Redis. Need Help?

This workflow implements an AI-powered WhatsApp booking assistant for a hair salon. The system allows customers to book, reschedule, or cancel appointments automatically via text or voice messages on WhatsApp. The workflow supports both text and voice messages. An AI agent manages the conversation logic, determines the user's intent, and calls the appropriate tools to perform actions such as checking availability, creating appointments, rescheduling bookings, or canceling events. The system also includes guardrails to filter unsafe or irrelevant inputs and escalation mechanisms to notify the team when a request falls outside supported tasks. Key Advantages 1. ✅ 24/7 Automated Appointment Booking Customers can book, reschedule, or cancel appointments at any time through WhatsApp without requiring manual staff intervention. 2. ✅ Multi-Modal Communication (Text + Voice) The workflow supports both text messages and voice messages. Audio messages are automatically transcribed and processed by the AI assistant. 3. ✅ Intelligent AI Assistant An AI agent manages the conversation, understands user intent, and automatically performs actions such as checking calendar availability or creating appointments. 4. ✅ Real-Time Calendar Integration The assistant connects directly to Google Calendar to: check available time slots create new bookings update existing appointments cancel reservations This ensures real-time accuracy. 5. ✅ Automatic Client Management Customer information such as phone number, name, and service type is stored and updated in Google Sheets, creating a lightweight CRM database. 6. ✅ Conversation Memory The system stores chat history in PostgreSQL, allowing the AI assistant to maintain context during conversations and deliver a more natural experience. 7. ✅ Smart Error Handling and Escalation If the AI cannot handle a request (for example, a question unrelated to appointments), the workflow automatically: notifies the team via email escalates the conversation for human assistance. 8. ✅ Secure and Controlled AI Responses Guardrails are implemented to prevent irrelevant or unsafe responses, ensuring that the assistant follows defined policies and tasks. 9. ✅ Omnichannel Architecture The workflow is designed to work with: WhatsApp messages chatbot interface (chat trigger) This allows the same logic to power multiple communication channels. 10. ✅ Scalable Automation The system is fully automated and can handle multiple simultaneous conversations, reducing operational workload and improving customer service efficiency. How it works Input Handling (WhatsApp & Chat): It listens for incoming messages from either a WhatsApp Trigger or a Chat Trigger. WhatsApp: It processes both text messages and voice notes. If a voice note is received, it automatically downloads the audio, transcribes it using OpenAI (Whisper), and converts it into text for the AI to process. The user's phone number (for WhatsApp) or session ID (for Chat) is stored as a sessionId to maintain conversation context. Guardrails (Security & Policy): Before the message reaches the main AI agent, it passes through a Guardrails node (using Google Gemini). This acts as a safety filter to check for jailbreak attempts or inappropriate content, ensuring the conversation stays within company policies. AI Agent (The Virtual Assistant): The cleaned-up message is sent to the AI Agent ("Virtual Assistant"). The agent is prompted to act as "Emma" and follows strict instructions: Identify User: It first uses the New client tool to check a Google Sheet to see if the user is already registered. Manage Appointments: Based on the user's request (book, reschedule, cancel), it intelligently calls specific tools in the correct order. Date Logic: It is aware of the current date and time to calculate correct future dates (e.g., interpreting "this Thursday"). Tool Execution (Actions): The agent has access to several tools to perform actions: Google Sheets (New client, Add client): To check if a client exists and add new clients to a spreadsheet. Google Calendar (Get events, Create event, Update event, Delete event): To check availability and manage appointments. The Get events tool is configured to look for slots in the next 30 days. Gmail (Send Email): To notify the team if a user asks for something outside the scope (e.g., pricing, product questions). WhatsApp HITL / Chat HITL (Escalation): To hand over the conversation to a human agent for complex requests. Response Delivery: The AI agent's text response is routed back to the user. On WhatsApp: It intelligently handles the response format. If the original message was text, it sends a text reply. If the original message was a voice note, it uses OpenAI's TTS to convert the text reply into an audio message and sends that back. Setup steps To get this workflow running, you need to configure the following credentials and nodes: Configure Credentials: Google Calendar OAuth2: Connect your Google account (used in Calendar nodes). Google Sheets OAuth2: Connect your Google account to access the spreadsheet. Gmail OAuth2: Connect your Google account to send notification emails from xxx@xxx.com. WhatsApp API: Connect your WhatsApp Business API credentials (Phone Number ID). OpenAI API (OpenRouter): Provide your API key for audio transcription and text-to-speech. Google Gemini API: Provide your API keys for the main AI model (Google Gemini Chat Model) and the Guardrails model (Google Gemini Chat Model1). Postgres: Configure the connection to your Postgres database for chat memory. Configure Google Sheets: Create a Google Sheet. Update the Document ID in the New client and Add client nodes with your sheet's ID. Ensure the sheet has columns for Phone Number, Client, and Service. Configure Google Calendar: Verify that the calendar ID in the Calendar nodes is correct and accessible. Configure WhatsApp Triggers & Actions: The WhatsApp Trigger node needs to be connected to your WhatsApp Business App. The Send message and Send audio nodes must have the correct Phone Number ID for your WhatsApp Business number. Update Email Recipient: In the Send Email tool (for escalations), change the sendTo email address from xxx@xxx.com to the actual email of the team that should receive these notifications. Review AI Prompts: Open the "Virtual Assistant" (AI Agent) node and review the system message. Update the salon name ("Cuts & Styles"), stylist name ("Alex Carter"), and address to match your business. Check the "Guardrails" node to adjust the safety threshold if necessary. 👉 Subscribe to my new YouTube channel. Here I’ll share videos and Shorts with practical tutorials and FREE templates for n8n.

A step-by-step demo that shows how to pull your Outlook calendar events for the week and ask GPT-4o to write a short summary. Along the way you’ll practice basic data-transform nodes (Code, Filter, Aggregate) and see where to attach the required API credentials. 1️⃣ Manual Trigger — Run Workflow | Why | Lets you click “Execute” in the n8n editor so you can test each change. | | --- | --- | 2️⃣ Get Outlook Events — Get many events Node type: Microsoft Outlook → Event → Get All Fields selected: subject, start API setup (inside this node): Click Credentials ▸ Microsoft Outlook OAuth2 API If you haven’t connected before: Choose “Microsoft Outlook OAuth2 API” → “Create New”. Sign in and grant the Calendars.Read permission. Save the credential (e.g., “Microsoft Outlook account”). Output: A list of events with the raw ISO start time. > Teaching moment: Outlook returns a full dateTime string. We’ll normalize it next so it’s easy to filter. 3️⃣ Normalize Dates — Convert to Date Format // Code node contents return $input.all().map(item => { const startDateTime = new Date(item.json.start.dateTime); const formattedDate = startDateTime.toISOString().split('T')[0]; // YYYY-MM-DD return { json: { ...item.json, startDateFormatted: formattedDate } }; }); 4️⃣ Filter the Events Down to This Week After we’ve normalised the start date-time into a simple YYYY-MM-DD string, we drop in a Filter node. Add one rule for every day you want to keep—for example 2025-08-07 or 2025-08-08. Rows that match any of those dates will continue through the workflow; everything else is quietly discarded. Why we’re doing this: we only want to summarise tomorrow’s and the following day’s meetings, not the entire calendar. 5️⃣ Roll All Subjects Into a Single Item Next comes an Aggregate node. Tell it to aggregate the subject field and choose the option “Only aggregated fields.” The result is one clean item whose subject property is now a tidy list of every meeting title. It’s far easier (and cheaper) to pass one prompt to GPT than dozens of small ones. 6️⃣ Turn That List Into Plain Text Insert a small Code node right after the aggregation: return [{ json: { text: items .map(item => JSON.stringify(item.json)) .join('\n') } }]; Need a Hand? I’m always happy to chat automation, n8n, or Outlook API quirks. Robert Breen – Automation Consultant & n8n Instructor 📧 robert@ynteractive.com | LinkedIn
