Workflow Templates

This n8n template demonstrates how to calculate the evaluation metric "Relevance" which in this scenario, measures the relevance of the agent's response to the user's question. The scoring approach is adapted from the open-source evaluations project RAGAS and you can see the source here https://github.com/explodinggradients/ragas/blob/main/ragas/src/ragas/metrics/_answer_relevance.py How it works This evaluation works best for Q&A agents. For our scoring, we analyse the agent's response and ask another AI to generate a question from it. This generated question is then compared to the original question using cosine similarity. A high score indicates relevance and the agent's successful ability to answer the question whereas a low score means agent may have added too much irrelevant info, went off script or hallucinated.

Overview This workflow takes some French text, and translates it into spoken audio. It then transcribes that audio back into text, translates it into English and generates an audio file of the English text. To do so, it uses ElevenLabs (which has a free tier) and OpenAI. Setup These steps should only take a few minutes: In ElevenLabs, add a voice to your voice lab and copy its ID. Add it to the 'Set voice ID' node Get your ElevenLabs API key (click your name in the bottom-left of ElevenLabs and choose ‘profile’) In the 'Generate French audio' node, create a new header auth cred. Set the name to xi-api-key and the value to your API key In the 'credential' field of the 'Transcribe audio' node, create a new OpenAI cred with your OpenAI API key Run the workflow by clicking the orange button at the bottom of the canvas

This n8n template automates the transformation of raw meeting notes into structured tasks and documents using GPT (or another model) , syncing them to Notion and TickTick via a Telegram bot. Use Cases Automate note-taking and formatting for daily standups, brainstorming sessions, or client calls. Reduce cognitive load by eliminating manual tracking of ideas and tedious formatting. Convert discussions into actionable tasks instantly with TickTick and structured notes in Notion. How It Works Capture Notes: Send raw meeting notes to a Telegram bot. AI Processing: The workflow sends the text to AI, which: Removes duplicates and extracts key points. Formats content into structured Markdown notes for Notion. Identifies tasks with deadlines (e.g., "- Prepare presentation (Responsible: John, Deadline: Friday)"). Task Parsing: Extracts task titles, removing metadata like "Responsible" and "Deadline." Review & Edit: The bot returns formatted notes and tasks for review in Telegram. Sync & Publish: Notes are published to a Notion database. Tasks are exported to TickTick via API. Confirmation: A Telegram reaction (e.g., 👌 emoji) confirms successful processing. Setup Instructions Set Up Telegram Bot: Create a Telegram bot via BotFather and obtain an API token. Add the token to the "Telegram Trigger" and "Send-Edited-Notes" nodes under credentials (telegramApi). Configure OpenAI: Obtain an OpenAI API key and add it to the "Edit-Notes" node (openAiApi credentials). Ensure the model is set to gpt-4.1-mini in the node parameters. Set Up Notion: Create a Notion database for notes (e.g., "Meetings"). Add the database ID to the "Create a Database Page" node (databaseId). Configure Notion API credentials (notionApi) in the node. Set Up TickTick: Obtain a TickTick API key and add it to the "Create a Task" node (tickTickOAuth2Api credentials). Specify your TickTick project ID in the node (projectId). Deploy Workflow: Ensure your n8n instance is self-hosted to support community nodes (TickTick, Notion). Activate the workflow in n8n. Test: Send a test message to the Telegram bot (e.g., "Discussed project timeline. Tasks: - Prepare slides (Responsible: Alice, Deadline: Friday)"). Verify that notes appear in Notion, tasks in TickTick, and a 👌 reaction in Telegram. Configuration Examples Telegram Trigger: { "parameters": { "updates": ["message"], "additionalFields": {} }, "credentials": { "telegramApi": { "id": "your-telegram-api-id", "name": "meeting notes" } } } OpenAI Prompt (in "Edit-Notes" node): Analyze the quick meeting notes from {{ $json.message.text }} Generate meeting notes and a task list in the following format:\nMeeting Notes:\n- [Note 1]\n- [Note 2]\n\nTasks:\n- [Task 1] \n- [Task 2] Notion Database Page { "parameters": { "resource": "databasePage", "databaseId": "your-notion-database-id", "title": "MN {{ $now }}", "blockUi": { "blockValues": [ { "textContent": "{{ $json.message.text }}" } ] } } } Requirements Requires an OpenAI API key (or another model). APIs: Pre-configured Notion and TickTick API credentials are required. The template includes setup guides. Setup: Uses community nodes, requiring a self-hosted n8n instance. Customizing This Workflow Replace the Telegram bot with a webhook or form for alternative inputs (e.g., mobile apps). Modify the OpenAI prompt in the "Edit-Notes" node to customize note and task formats. Add filters in the "Split Notes and Tasks" node to prioritize tasks (e.g., ++#urgent++). Integrate Google Calendar via an additional HTTP Request node to auto-set deadlines based on text (e.g., "by Friday").

This n8n template demonstrates how easy it is to build an Outlook Calendar Assistant powered by an AI agent equipped with Tools. For teams using Outlook Calendar and Slack who need easier calendar management, this workflow can be a great first step to introducing powerful AI tools into your daily activities. How it works A Slack Trigger node is configured to catch "bot mentions" events in a designated channel. The message is parsed using the Edit fields node to extract only the required attributes of the event. An AI Agent equipped with Outlook Calendar Tools enables question and answer capability for the organisation's shared calendars and events. The AI agent's response is sent back to Slack as a reply to the user's query. How to use The workflow is triggered via @mention-ing the bot followed by the query. eg. "@bot how many meetings does Paul have to attend to this week?" To start listening to real mentions, you must activate the workflow and set it to production mode. You must use the production webhook URL for the event subscription. Some sample queries to try "What's included in the product team's sprint demo this week?" "Who's booked room 7 for this Thursday?" "When is Jim & Nik's sales meeting with Microsoft?" Requirements Slack for Chat and Trigger. To get connected to Slack, see the official n8n docs for Slack Credentials. Outlook for Agent Tools To get connected to Outlook, see the official n8n docs for Outlook Credentials. Customising this workflow Not using Slack? This template can be modified to work with Teams but requires a little more configuration. Agents can have any number of tools but an overloaded agent is prone to confusion! If this happens, try splitting into multiple agents serving separate needs.

This guide will show you how to use a workflow as a reusable tool in n8n, such as integrating an AI Agent or other specialized processes into your workflows. By the end of this example, you'll have a simple, reusable workflow that can be easily plugged into larger projects, making your automations more efficient and scalable. With this approach, you can create reusable workflows like "Scrape a Page," "Search Brave," or "Generate an Image," which you can then call whenever needed. While n8n makes it easy to build these workflows from scratch, setting them up as reusable components saves time as your automations grow in complexity. Setup Add the "Execute Workflow Trigger" node Add the node(s) to perform the desired tasks in the workflow Add a final "Set" or "Edit Fields" node at the end to ensure all external workflows return a consistent output format Details In this example, the "Execute Workflow Trigger" expects input in the following JSON format: [ { "query": { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/some_info" } } ] Once your external workflow is ready, you can instruct the AI Agent to use this tool by connecting it to the external workflow. Set up the schema type to "Generate from JSON Example" using this structure: { "url": "URL_TO_GET" } Finally, ensure your external workflow includes a "Set" or "Edit Fields" node at the end to define the response format. This helps keep the outputs of your reusable workflows consistent and predictable.

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. How It Works This template orchestrates a multi-step workflow that constructs a comprehensive four-zone automation matrix—Green, Yellow, Red, and White—grounded in the Human Agency Scale (HAS). When a user sends a job title via Telegram, the workflow routes both text and voice messages appropriately. Voice messages are transcribed via OpenAI's Whisper, while text inputs bypass transcription. Both streams merge into a single data flow. The AI Agent node, powered by GPT-4, analyzes the user's profession and core tasks. It also leverages live context by calling the Tavily search tool, ensuring the analysis incorporates up-to-date information. After the evaluation, the workflow formats and returns the completed matrix, with detailed task examples and rationales for each zone, back to the user via Telegram. Setup Instructions Create an OpenAI credential in n8n (model: GPT-4.1 mini). Add a Tavily credential with your API key (FREE plan available). Configure a Telegram Bot credential: API bot token. Import this JSON as a new workflow in n8n and map credentials in each node. Activate the workflow; test by sending sample job titles; adjust node timeouts and webhook settings as needed. Requirements n8n v1.0.0 or higher Active OpenAI API key (GPT-4.1 mini access) Tavily API key for web context search Telegram Bot token with correctly configured webhook Stable internet connectivity Audience & Problem This template is designed for consultants, HR professionals, and analysts who need a scalable, standardized approach to evaluate which routine tasks in a given profession can be automated, which require human oversight, and which should remain manual to preserve strategic judgment, creativity, and expertise.
