How it works Trigger: Listens for an incoming chat message Copy Assistant: Feeds the message (plus memory) into an OpenAI Chat Model and exposes two “tools” Cold Email Writer Tool Sales Letter Tool• Tool execution: Depending on the user’s intent, the appropriate tool generates the copy • Save output: Writes the generated email or sales letter into your target document via the Update a document node Set up steps • Configure your OpenAI Chat Model credentials in n8n (no hard-coded keys!) • Add and authenticate the Simple Memory credential (to keep context across messages) • Create Google Docs (or MS Word) credentials for the Update a document node • Ensure your Chat trigger is pointing at your incoming-message endpoint • Mandatory: Drop sticky-note annotations on each tool node explaining where to enter API keys and how to tweak prompts Once everything’s wired up, send a test chat message like “Write me a cold email for a fintech startup” and watch the workflow spin up a polished draft in your document. How to use Import the workflow JSON into n8n. Configure your Chat trigger (webhook or form) to receive incoming messages. Send a chat prompt like: “Write me a cold email for a B2B SaaS offering.” The “Copy Assistant” custom GPT picks the right tool (Cold Email or Sales Letter). Generated copy is written directly into your linked Google Doc or Word document. Requirements OpenAI API Key (with Chat Completions & Custom GPTs enabled) Custom Assistant created in your ChatGPT dashboard (Assistant ID pasted into the Chat Model node) n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted) with credentials set up for: Simple Memory (to persist context) Google Docs or Microsoft Word (for document output) Customising this workflow Tweak system and user prompts inside the Copy Assistant node to fit your brand voice. Swap in Slack, Teams or email nodes instead of a document writer to deliver copy where you need it. Add or remove tools (e.g., “Follow-up Email Writer”) by duplicating the existing tool pattern. Use sticky-note annotations on every node to explain where to enter API keys, Assistant IDs, or prompt tweaks.

Search music and play to Spotify from Telegram This workflow is a simple demonstration on accessing a message model from Telegram and it makes searching for songs an easy task even if you can't remember the artist or song name. An OpenAI message model tries to figure out the song and sends it to an active Spotify device**. Use case Imagine an office where you play music in the background and the employees can control the music without having to login to the playing account. How it works You describe the song in Telegram. Telegram bot sends the text to n8n. An OpenAI message model tries to find the song. Spotify gets the search query string. First match is then added to queue. -- If there is no match a message is sent to Telegram and the process ends. We change to the next track in the list. We make sure the song starts playing by trying to resume. We fetch the currently playing track. We return "now playing" information to Telegram: Song Name - Artist Name - Album Name. Error handling Every Spotify step has it's on error handler under settings where we output the error. Message parser receives the error and sends it to Telegram. Requirements Active workflow* OpenAI API key Telegram bot Spotify account and Oauth2 API Spotify active on a device** .* The Telegram trigger is activated only if this workflow is active. You can however TEST the workflow in the editor by clicking "Test step" and then it waits for the Telegram event. When event is received, just step through all steps or just clicking "Test step" on the "Fetch Now Playing" node. .** You must have a Spotify device active when trying to communicate with a device.

This n8n workflow operates as a two-agent system where each agent has a specialized task. The process flows from initial user input to a final analysis, with a seamless handoff between the agents. How it works The Chat Trigger The entire process begins when you send a message using n8n's chat interface. This message serves as the initial prompt or query for the system. The Research Agent Takes Over The user's message is first sent to the Research Agent. This agent's job is to understand the query and gather relevant information. To do this, it has access to: LLM: Google Gemini, which acts as the agent's "brain" to process language and make decisions. Tools: web_search: It uses this tool (powered by your self-hosted SearXNG instance) to perform live searches on the internet. get_current_date: It can access the current date, which is useful for context-aware or time-sensitive research. The Research Agent uses these tools to find the most relevant information related to your query and then compiles it into a concise summary. Handoff to the Sentiment Analysis Agent Once the Research Agent has completed its task, it passes its findings directly to the Sentiment Analysis Agent. The Final Analysis The Sentiment Analysis Agent receives the text from the Research Agent. Its sole purpose, as defined by its system prompt, is to analyze the sentiment of the provided information. It determines if the content is positive, negative, or neutral and formulates a final response. This final analysis is then sent back to you in the chat, completing the workflow. Set up steps Select the Language Model (LLM): This workflow is pre-configured with Google Gemini. You can select a different model for the agents as needed. Configure LLM Credentials: Ensure that valid credentials for your chosen LLM are correctly set up within your n8n instance. Set Up the SearXNG Connection: Configure the node to connect to your self-hosted SearXNG instance. This enables the agent's web search capabilities. Define the Research Agent's Task: Customize the system prompt for the "Research Agent" to define its role, instructions, and how it should conduct its research. Define the Sentiment Analysis Agent's Task: Adjust the system prompt for the "Sentiment Analysis Agent" to specify how it should analyze the information provided by the Research Agent. Test the Workflow: Use the built-in chat interface in the n8n canvas to send a message and verify that the agents are functioning correctly.

Automate Customer Feedback Analysis with Google Sheets, WhatsApp, and Email Introduction: Drowning in Data, Starving for Insight? Imagine this: Your team launches a new feature. Feedback starts pouring in emails, support tickets, social media mentions, and survey responses. You know gold is buried in there, but manually reading, tagging, and summarising hundreds, maybe thousands, of comments? It takes days, maybe weeks. By the time you have a clear picture, the moment might have passed. Sounds exhausting, right? What if you could have an AI assistant tirelessly working 24/7, instantly analysing every piece of feedback the moment it arrives? This isn't science fiction anymore. AI-powered automation can transform this slow, manual chore into a real-time insight engine, giving you the pulse of your customer base almost instantly. Let's explore how. What's the Goal? Understanding the Workflow Objective The core challenge is transforming raw, unstructured customer feedback into actionable intelligence quickly and efficiently. The Problem: Manual Overload: Sifting through vast amounts of feedback manually is incredibly time-consuming and prone to human error or bias. Delayed Insights: The lag between receiving feedback and understanding it means missed opportunities and slow responses to critical issues. Inconsistent Analysis: Different team members might interpret or categorize feedback differently, leading to unreliable trend spotting. The AI Solution: Automated Data Collection: Connects directly to feedback sources (surveys, social media, review sites, helpdesks). AI-Powered Analysis: Uses Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 or Claude to analyze sentiment, extract key topics, and summarize comments. Intelligent Categorization: Automatically tags feedback based on predefined or dynamically identified themes (e.g., "bug report," "feature request," "pricing issue"). Real-time Reporting: Pushes structured insights into dashboards, databases, or triggers notifications for immediate awareness. Outcome: You move from reactive problem-solving based on stale data to proactive, strategic decisions driven by a near real-time understanding of customer sentiment and needs. Why Does It Matter? Achieving 100X Productivity and Efficiency Look, automating feedback isn't just about saving time; it's about scaling your ability to listen and respond smarter, not harder. When you leverage AI, the gains aren't incremental - they're exponential. Here’s why this is a game changer: Blazing Speed: Analyse feedback 100x Faster (or more!) than manual methods. Insights appear in minutes or hours, not days or weeks. Unhuman Scalability: Process virtually unlimited volumes of feedback without needing to scale your human team proportionally. AI doesn't get tired or bored. Consistent Accuracy: AI applies analysis rules consistently, reducing human bias and ensuring reliable categorisation and sentiment scoring over time. Proactive Trend Spotting: Identify emerging issues or popular requests much earlier by analysing aggregated data automatically. Spot patterns humans might miss. Free Up Your Team: Let your talented team focus on acting on insights – improving products, fixing issues, engaging customers – instead of drowning in data entry. How It Works: AI Automation Step by Step Getting this set up is more straightforward than you might think, especially with tools like n8n acting as the central hub.

Report Node Auto-generate weekly/monthly summaries: "Top 5 customer pain points this week" Product Board Integration Auto-create feature requests Prioritize based on feedback volume Tools of the Trade: AI & Automation Tech Stack You don't need a massive, complex tech stack. Focus on a few core, powerful tools: n8n: The workflow automation platform. This is the 'glue' that connects everything and orchestrates the process without needing deep coding knowledge. Honestly, it's incredibly versatile. OpenAI (GPT-4/GPT-4o): State-of-the-art LLM for high-quality text analysis, summarization, and classification. Great for complex understanding. Anthropic (Claude 3 Sonnet/Opus): Another top-tier LLM, known for strong performance in analysis and handling large contexts. Often, a great alternative or complement to GPT models. Feedback Sources APIs: Connectors for where your feedback lives (e.g., Typeform, SurveyMonkey, Twitter API, Zendesk API, Google Play/App Store review APIs). Data Storage/Destination: Where the processed insights go (e.g., Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, PostgreSQL database, BigQuery). (Optional) Visualization Tool: Tools like Metabase, Grafana, Looker Studio, or Power BI to create dashboards from your structured feedback data. What's the Cost? Estimated Budget Let's talk investment. You're mainly looking at: Setup Costs: Primarily your time (or a consultant's) to design and build the initial workflow in n8n. Depending on complexity, this could range from a few hours to a few days. No major software licenses are usually needed upfront if using self-hosted n8n or starting with free/low-tier cloud plans. AI API Calls: You pay per usage to OpenAI/Anthropic. Costs depend heavily on volume but can start from $20-$50/month for moderate usage and scale up. Newer models are getting more cost-effective. n8n Hosting: Free if self-hosted (requires a server), or tiered cloud pricing starting around $20/month. Feedback Source APIs: Some platforms might have API access costs or rate limits on free tiers. Total Estimated Monthly Cost: For many businesses, ongoing costs can range from $50 - $500+ per month, highly dependent on feedback volume and AI model choice. The Return on Investment (ROI) is typically rapid. Consider the hours saved from manual analysis, the value of faster issue resolution, preventing churn, and the benefits of making product decisions based on real-time data. It often pays for itself very quickly. Who Benefits? Target Users and Industries This automated feedback loop isn't niche; it's valuable across many sectors and roles: Top Industries: SaaS (Software as a Service): Understanding user friction, feature requests, bug reports. E-commerce & Retail: Analyzing product reviews, post-purchase surveys, and support chats. Hospitality & Travel: Processing guest reviews, survey feedback. Mobile Apps: Monitoring app store reviews, in-app feedback. Financial Services: Gauging customer satisfaction with services, identifying pain points. Key Roles: Product Managers: Prioritizing features, understanding user needs, tracking launch reception. Customer Experience (CX) / Success Managers: Monitoring customer health, identifying churn risks, and improving support processes. Marketing Teams: Understanding brand perception, campaign feedback, and voice of the customer. Support Leads: Identifying recurring issues, measuring support quality, spotting training needs. This approach works for businesses of all sizes, from startups wanting to stay lean and agile to large enterprises needing to manage massive feedback volumes. How to use workflow?
