Sheet and worksheet Ensure the matching column is set to row_number Step 7: Activate the Workflow Click the Active toggle in the top right to activate the workflow The workflow will now monitor your sheet every minute for changes How It Works Workflow Process Flow Google Sheets Trigger: Polls your sheet every minute for new rows or changes to name/website fields Filter Valid Rows: Validates that both company name and website are present Loop Over Items: Processes each company individually AI Agent: Uses Explorium MCP to: Find the company's business ID Retrieve firmographic data (revenue, employees, NAICS code) Format Output: Structures the data for Google Sheets Update Company Row: Writes the enriched data back to the original row Trigger Behavior First Activation**: May process all existing rows to establish a baseline Ongoing Operation**: Only processes new rows or rows where name/website fields change Polling Frequency**: Checks for changes every minute Usage Adding New Companies Add a new row to your Google Sheet Fill in the name and website columns Within 1 minute, the workflow will automatically: Detect the new row Enrich the company data Update the remaining columns Updating Existing Companies Modify the name or website field of an existing row The workflow will re-process that row with the updated information All enrichment data will be refreshed Monitoring Executions In n8n, go to Executions to see workflow runs Each execution shows: Which rows were processed Success/failure status Detailed logs for troubleshooting Troubleshooting Common Issues All rows are processed instead of just new/updated ones Ensure the workflow is activated, not just run manually Manual test runs will process all rows First activation may process all rows once No data is returned for a company Verify the company name and website are correct Check if the company exists in Explorium's database Some smaller or newer companies may not have data available Workflow isn't triggering Confirm the workflow is activated (Active toggle is ON) Check that changes are made to the name or website columns Verify Google Sheets credentials have proper permissions Authentication errors Re-authenticate Google Sheets credentials Verify Anthropic API key is valid and has credits Check Explorium Bearer token is correct and active Error Handling The workflow processes each row individually, so if one company fails to enrich: Other rows will still be processed The failed row will retain its original data Check the execution logs for specific error details Best Practices Data Quality: Ensure company names and websites are accurate for best results Website Format: Include full URLs (https://example.com) rather than just domain names Batch Processing: The workflow handles multiple updates efficiently, so you can add several companies at once Regular Monitoring: Periodically check execution logs to ensure smooth operation API Limits & Considerations

Overview This workflow allows users to generate AI music using the KIE. ai API integrated with the Suno V3.5 model. It provides a simple form interface for inputting parameters like music prompts, styles, and titles. The system automatically submits the request to the API, monitors the generation status in real time until completion, and retrieves the final music output. This is perfect for musicians, content creators, or developers looking to automate custom music creation with support for various modes and intelligent generation. Prerequisites A KIE. ai account and API key: Create an account at KIE.ai and obtain your API key. An active n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud-based) with support for HTTP requests and form submissions. Familiarity with AI music prompts to optimize results, such as describing mood, instruments, and rhythm. Setup Instructions Get API Key: Sign up at KIE. ai and generate your API key. Keep it secure and input it in the form—do not disclose it to others. Import Workflow: Copy the JSON from this template and import it into your n8n editor. Configure the Form: In the form node, set fields for: prompt: Describe the music content (e.g., "A calm and relaxing piano track with soft melodies"). style: Specify the genre (e.g., "Classical", "Jazz", "Pop"). title: Provide a title for the generated music (max 80 characters). api_key: Your KIE. ai key. Test the Workflow: Click "Execute Workflow" in n8n to activate the form. Access the form URL, fill in the parameters, and submit. The workflow will send a POST request to the API, wait and poll every 10 seconds for status updates, and display the music file once ready. View Results: The output node formats the results, showing playable music files. Customization Guidance Refine Prompts**: For better results, include detailed descriptions like emotions, rhythm, instruments, or lyrics. Example: "A peaceful piano meditation track with gentle waves in the background."

What this workflow does Monitors Google Drive: The workflow triggers whenever a new CSV file is uploaded. Uses AI to Identify PII Columns: The OpenAI node analyzes the data and identifies PII-containing columns (e.g., name, email, phone). Removes PII: The workflow filters out these columns from the dataset. Uploads Cleaned File: The sanitized file is renamed and re-uploaded to Google Drive, ensuring the original data remains intact. How to customize this workflow to your needs Adjust PII Identification: Modify the prompt in the OpenAI node to align with your specific data compliance requirements. Include/Exclude File Types: Adjust the Google Drive Trigger settings to monitor specific file types (e.g., CSV only). Output Destination: Change the folder in Google Drive where the sanitized file is uploaded. Setup Prerequisites: A Google Drive account. An OpenAI API key. Workflow Configuration: Configure the Google Drive Trigger to monitor a folder for new files. Configure the OpenAI Node to connect with your API Set the Google Drive Upload folder to a different location than the Trigger folder to prevent workflow loops.

Do you consistently forget to set a Default Error Workflow when creating new workflows? Then this helper workflow is for you! When activated, this helper workflow will: Scan ALL other workflows every 4 hours Make sure ALL workflows have a default error workflow set (based on what Workflow ID you provide) This helper will SKIP OVER any workflows that have the default_error:false tag set (make sure your default error workflow has the default_error:false tag set, so that you don't end up with recursive loops during errors) Setup Nodes: Once imported, edit the Set Vars node with your default_error_workflow_id value. If you want to change the default_error:false tag to some other tag name, you can do so here as well. You need to update the Set Default Error Workflow node with your PostgreSQL credentials to access the n8n database.

Overview This workflow provides Retell agent builders with a simple way to populate dynamic variables using n8n. The workflow fetches user information from a Google Sheet based on the phone number and sends it back to Retell. It is based on Retell's Inbound Webhook Call. Retell is a service that lets you create Voice Agents that handle voice calls simply, based on a prompt or using a conversational flow builder. Who is it for For builders of Retell's Voice Agents who want to make their agents more personalized. Prerequisites Have a Retell AI Account Create a Retell agent Purchase a phone number and associate it with your agent Create a Google Sheets - for example, make a copy of this one. Your Google Sheet must have at least one column with the phone number. The remaining columns will be used to populate your Retell agent’s dynamic variables. All fields are returned as strings to Retell (variables are replaced as text) How it works The webhook call is received from Retell. We filter the call using their whitelisted IP address. It extracts data from the webhook call and uses it to retrieve the user from Google Sheets. It formats the data in the response to match Retell's expected format. Retell uses this data to replace dynamic variables in the prompts. How to use it See the description for screenshots! Set the webhook name (keep it as POST). Copy the Webhook URL (e.g., https://your-instance.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/retell-dynamic-variables) and paste it into Retell's interface. Navigate to "Phone Numbers", click on the phone number, and enable "Add an inbound webhook". In your prompt (e.g., "welcome message"), use the variable with this syntax: {{variable_name}} (see Retell's documentation). These variables will be dynamically replaced by the data in your Google Sheet. Notes In Google Sheets, the phone number must start with '+. Phone numbers must be formatted like the example: with the +, extension, and no spaces. You can use any database—just replace Google Sheets with your own, making sure to keep the phone number formatting consistent. 👉 Reach out to us if you're interested in analysing your Retell Agent conversations.

What this does Show you how to us XMLRPC APIs via the generic HTTP-Request-node, by the example of posting to a wordpress blog This is also a feasible workaround if a specific n8n integration does not work or stops working (which happens e.g. with the Wordpress node) How it works First, the XML payload for the request is being prepared (in a code node, which also properly escapes special character in the values that you want to send to the XMLRPC endpoint) Then, the HTTP Request node sends the request using the HTTP post method Last, the returned XML response is converted to JSON which a conditional node uses to determine whether th operation was successful or not Setup steps: Import workflow Ensure you have a wordpress blog with a user that has an app-Password Edit the "Settings"-node and enter your individual values for url/user/app-pw

How it works This workflow is a robust and forgiving JSON parser designed to handle malformed or "dirty" JSON strings often returned by AI models or scraped from web pages. It takes a text string as input and attempts to extract and parse a valid JSON object from it. Cleans Input: It starts by trimming whitespace and removing common Markdown code fences (like ` Applies Multiple Fixes: It systematically attempts to correct common JSON errors in a specific order: Escapes unescaped control characters (like newlines) within strings. Fixes invalid backslash escape sequences. Removes trailing commas. Intelligently attempts to fix unescaped double quotes inside string values. Parses Strategically: If a direct parse fails, it tries to extract a potential JSON object from the text (e.g., finding a {...} block inside a larger sentence) and then re-applies the cleaning logic to that extracted portion. Outputs Clean Data: If successful, it outputs the parsed JSON fields. By default, it removes the detailed parsing_status object, but you can deactivate the final "Set" node to keep it for debugging. Set up steps Setup time: ~1 minute This workflow is designed to be used as a sub-workflow and requires no internal setup. In your main workflow, add an Execute Sub-Workflow node where you need to parse a messy JSON string. In the Workflow parameter, select this "Robust JSON Parser" workflow. Ensure the data you send to the node is a JSON object containing a text field, where the value of text is the string you want to parse. For example: { "text": "{\\\"key\\\": \\\"some broken json...\\\"}" }. The workflow will return the successfully parsed data. To see a detailed log of the cleaning process, simply deactivate the final Remove parsing_status node inside this workflow.

This n8n demonstrates how to build a simple PostgreSQL MCP server to manage your PostgreSQL database such as HR, Payroll, Sale, Inventory and More! This MCP example is based off an official MCP reference implementation which can be found here -https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/postgres How it works A MCP server trigger is used and connected to 5 tools: 2 postgreSQL and 3 custom workflow. The 2 postgreSQL tools are simple read-only queries and as such, the postgreSQL tool can be simply used. The 3 custom workflow tools are used for select, insert and update queries as these are operations which require a bit more discretion. Whilst it may be easier to allow the agent to use raw SQL queries, we may find it a little safer to just allow for the parameters instead. The custom workflow tool allows us to define this restricted schema for tool input which we'll use to construct the SQL statement ourselves. All 3 custom workflow tools trigger the same "Execute workflow" trigger in this very template which has a switch to route the operation to the correct handler. Finally, we use our standard PostgreSQL node to handle select, insert and update operations. The responses are then sent back to the the MCP client. How to use This PostgreSQL MCP server allows any compatible MCP client to manage a PostgreSQL database by supporting select, create and update operations. You will need to have a database available before you can use this server. Connect your MCP client by following the n8n guidelines here - https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.mcptrigger/#integrating-with-claude-desktop Try the following queries in your MCP client: "Please help me check if Alex has an entry in the users table. If not, please help me create a record for her." "What was the top selling product in the last week?" "How many high priority support tickets are still open this morning?" Requirements PostgreSQL for database. This can be an external database such as Supabase or one you can host internally. MCP Client or Agent for usage such as Claude Desktop - https://claude.ai/download Customising this workflow If the scope of schemas or tables is too open, try restrict it so the MCP serves a specific purpose for business operations. eg. Confine the querying and editing to HR only tables before providing access to people in that department. Remember to set the MCP server to require credentials before going to production and sharing this MCP server with others!
