Workflow Templates

This n8n template offers a simple yet capable chatbot assistant who can answer course enquiries over SMS. Given the right access to data, AI Agents are capable of planning and performing relatively complex research tasks to get their answers. In this example, the agent must first understand the database schema, retrieve lists of values before generating it's own query to search over the database. Checkout the example database here - https://airtable.com/appO5xvP1aUBYKyJ7/shr8jSFDaghubDOrw How it works A Twilio trigger gives us the ability to receive SMS input into our workflow via webhook. The message is then directed to our AI agent who is instructed to assist the user and use the course database as reference. The database is an Airtable base. The agent autonomously figures out which tool it needs to use and generates it's own "filter_by_formula" query to search over the available courses. On successful search results, the Agent can then use this information to answer the user's query. The Agent's output is logged in a second sheet of the Airtable base. We can use this later for analysis and lead gen. Finally, the response is sent back to the user through SMS using Twilio. How to use Ensure your Twilio number is set to forward messages to this workflow's webhook URL. Configure and update the course database as required. If you're not interested in courses, you can swap this out for inventory, deliveries or any other data relevant to your business. Ask questions like: "Can you help me find suitable courses to fill my Wednesday mornings?" "Which courses are being instructed by profession Lee?" "I'm interested in creative arts. What courses are available which could be relevant to me?" Requirements Twilio for SMS receiving and sending OpenAI for LLM and Agent Airtable for Course Database Customising this workflow Add additional tools and expand the range of queries the agent is able to answer or assist with. Not using Airtable? This technique also works with SQL databases like PostgreSQL.

Who is this template for? This template is designed for developers, DevOps engineers, and automation enthusiasts who want to streamline their GitLab merge request process using n8n, a low-code workflow automation tool. It eliminates manual intervention by automating the merging of GitLab branches through API calls. How it works ? Trigger the workflow: The workflow can be triggered by a webhook, a scheduled event, or a GitLab event (e.g., a new merge request is created or approved). Fetch Merge Request Details: n8n makes an API call to GitLab to retrieve merge request details. Check Merge Conditions: The workflow validates whether the merge request meets predefined conditions (e.g., approvals met, CI/CD pipelines passed). Perform the Merge: If all conditions are met, n8n sends a request to the GitLab API to merge the branch automatically. Setup Steps 1. Prerequisites An n8n instance (Self-hosted or Cloud) A GitLab personal access token with API access A GitLab repository with merge requests enabled 2. Create the n8n Workflow Set up a trigger: Choose a trigger node (Webhook, Cron, or GitLab Trigger). Fetch merge request details: Add an HTTP Request node to call GET /merge_requests/:id from GitLab API. Validate conditions: Check if the merge request has necessary approvals. Ensure CI/CD pipelines have passed. Merge the request: Use an HTTP Request node to call PUT /merge_requests/:id/merge API. 3. Test the Workflow Create a test merge request. Check if the workflow triggers and merges automatically. Debug using n8n logs if needed. 4. Deploy and Monitor Deploy the workflow in production. Use n8n’s monitoring features to track execution. This template enables seamless GitLab merge automation, improving efficiency and reducing manual work! Note: Never hard code API token or secret in your https request.

Automate Video Creation with Luma AI Dream Machine and Airtable (Part 2) Description This is the second part of the Luma AI Dream Machine automation. It captures the webhook response from Luma AI after video generation is complete, processes the data, and automatically updates Airtable with the video and thumbnail URLs. This completes the end-to-end automation for video creation and tracking. 👉 Airtable Base Template 👉 Tutorial Video Setup 1. Luma AI Setup Ensure you’ve created an account with Luma AI and generated an API key. Confirm that the API key has permission to manage video requests. 2. Airtable Setup Make sure your Airtable base includes the following fields (set up in Part 1): Use the Airtable Base Template linked above to simplify setup. Generation ID** – To match incoming webhook data. Status** – Workflow status (e.g., "Done"). Video URL** – Stores the generated video URL. Thumbnail URL** – Stores the thumbnail URL. 3. n8n Setup Ensure that the n8n workflow from Part 1 is set up and configured. Import this workflow and connect it to the webhook callback from Luma AI. How It Works 1. Webhook Trigger The Webhook node listens for a POST response from Luma AI once video generation is finished. The response includes: Video URL – Direct link to the video. Thumbnail URL – Link to the video thumbnail. Generation ID – Used to match the record in Airtable. 2. Process Webhook Data The Set node extracts the video data from the webhook response. The If node checks if the video URL is valid before proceeding. 3. Store in Airtable The Airtable node updates the record with: Video URL – Direct link to the video. Thumbnail URL – Link to the video thumbnail. Status – Marked as "Done." Uses the Generation ID to match and update the correct record. Why This Workflow is Useful ✅ Automates the completion step for video creation ✅ Ensures accurate record-keeping by matching generation IDs ✅ Simplifies the process of managing and organizing video content ✅ Reduces manual effort by automating the update process Next Steps Future Enhancements** – Adding more complex post-processing, video trimming, and multi-platform publishing.

What this workflow does This workflow extracts product details—like name, price, discount, and rating— from website screenshots using Dumpling AI. It starts when a new product page URL is added to a Google Sheet, captures a screenshot of that page, extracts visible product info from the image, and writes the results back into the sheet. What problem is this workflow solving? Many product pages block traditional scraping tools or use unstructured layouts. This workflow bypasses HTML limitations by using visual AI extraction, making it reliable even when content is embedded in images or hard to parse with code. Who is this for? This is ideal for eCommerce researchers, pricing analysts, marketers, or anyone building a product database from websites without needing to code or maintain complex scrapers. Setup Create a Google Sheet with a column named "Site" (or update the trigger). Add your product page URLs in this column—one per row. Connect your Google Sheets and Dumpling AI credentials in n8n. Ensure your Dumpling AI account has API access for screenshots and extraction. How to customize the workflow Prompt adjustment**: In the “Extract Text from Screenshot” node, you can modify the prompt to extract other information like brand name, delivery time, or availability. Add more fields**: After the extraction, edit the “Format Extracted Data” node to map additional fields from the response to your Google Sheet columns. Change output destination**: You can easily replace the Google Sheets module with Airtable, Notion, or another app if preferred. > ⚠️ This works best when the product data is clearly visible in the screenshot. > It won’t extract info that’s hidden behind popups or loaded via user interaction.

This workflow creates a Jira issue when a new ticket is created in Zendesk. Subsequent comments on the ticket in Zendesk are added as comments to the issue in Jira. Prerequisites Zendesk account and Zendesk credentials. Jira account and Jira credentials. Jira project to create issues in. How it works The workflow listens for new tickets in Zendesk. When a new ticket is created, the workflow creates a new issue in Jira. The Jira issue key is then saved in one of the ticket's fields (in setup we call this "Jira Issue Key"). The next time a comment is added to the ticket, the workflow retrieves the Jira issue key from the ticket's field and adds the comment to the issue in Jira. Setup This workflow requires that you set up a webhook in Zendesk. To do so, follow the steps below: In the workflow, open the On new Zendesk ticket node and copy the webhook URL. In Zendesk, navigate to Admin Center > Apps and integrations > Webhooks > Actions > Create Webhook. Add all the required details which can be retrieved from the On new Zendesk ticket node. The webhook URL gets added to the “Endpoint URL” field, and the “Request method” should match what is shown in n8n. Save the webhook. In Zendesk, navigate to Admin Center > Objects and rules > Business rules > Triggers > Add trigger. Give the trigger a name such as “New tickets”. Under “Conditions” in “Meet ALL of the following conditions”, add “Status is New”. Under “Actions”, select “Notify active webhook” and select the webhook you created previously. In the JSON body, add the following: { "id": "{{ticket.id}}", "comment": "{{ticket.latest_comment_html}}" } Save the Zendesk trigger. You will also need to set up a field in Zendesk to store the Jira issue key. To do so, follow the steps below: In Zendesk, navigate to Admin Center > Objects and rules > Tickets > Fields > Add field. Use the text field option and give the field a name such as “Jira Issue Key". Save the field. In n8n, open the Update ticket node and select the field you created in Zendesk.
