Using the knowledge graphs instead of RAG vector stores This workflow creates an AI chatbot agent that has access to several knowledge bases at the same time (used as "experts"). These knowledge bases are provided using the InfraNodus GraphRAG using the knowledge graphs and providing high-quality responses without the need to set up complex RAG vector store workflows. The advantages of using GraphRAG instead of the standard vector stores for knowledge are: Easy and quick to set up (no complex data import workflows needed) A knowledge graph has a holistic view of your knowledge base Better retrieval of relations between the document chunks = higher quality responses How it works This template uses the n8n AI agent node as an orchestrating agent that decides which tool (knowledge graph) to use based on the user's prompt. Here's a description step by step: The user submits a question using the AI chatbot (n8n interface, in this case, which can be accessed via a URL or embedded to any website) The AI agent node checks a list of tools it has access to. Each tool has a description of the knowledge it has auto-generated by InfraNodus. The AI agent decides which tool should be used to generate a response. It may reformulate user's query to be more suitable for the expert. The query is then sent to the InfraNodus HTTP node endpoint, which will query the graph that corresponds to that expert. Each InfraNodus GraphRAG expert provides a rich response that takes the whole context into account and provides a response from each expert (graph) along with a list of relevant statements retrieved using a combination or RAG and GraphRAG. The n8n AI Agent node integrates the responses received from the experts to produce the final answer. The final answer is sent back to the user's chat (or a webhook endpoint) How to use You need an InfraNodus GraphRAG API account and key to use this workflow. Create an InfraNodus account Get the API key at https://infranodus.com/api-access and create a Bearer authorization key for the InfraNodus HTTP nodes. Create a separate knowledge graph for each expert (using PDF / content import options) in InfraNodus For each graph, go to the workflow, paste the name of the graph into the body name field. Keep other settings intact or learn more about them at the InfraNodus access points page. Once you add one or more graphs as experts to your flow, add the LLM key to the OpenAI node and launch the workflow Requirements An InfraNodus account and API key An OpenAI (or any other LLM) API key Customizing this workflow You can use this same workflow with a Telegram bot, so you can interact with it using Telegram. There are many more customizations available.

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.

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.

Overview This workflow leverages the KIE. AI Veo3 model to generate AI videos from simple text descriptions. Users interact via a form interface, inputting a prompt (e.g., a scene description), and the system automatically submits the request to the KIE. AI API, monitors the generation status in real time, and retrieves the final video output. It's ideal for content creators, marketers, or developers exploring text-to-video AI creation, supporting intelligent video generation with minimal setup. Prerequisites A KIE. AI account and API key: Sign up at KIE.AI to obtain your free or paid API key. An active n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) with HTTP Request and form submission capabilities. Basic knowledge of AI prompts for video generation to achieve optimal results. Setup Instructions Obtain API Key: Register at KIE. AI and generate your API key. Store it securely—do not share it publicly. Configure the Form: In the "On Form Submission" node, ensure fields like "prompt" (for video description) and "api_key" are set up. Example prompt: "A serene mountain landscape at sunset with birds flying." Test the Workflow: Click "Execute Workflow" in n8n. Access the generated form URL, submit your prompt and API key. The workflow will poll the API every 10 seconds until the video is ready, then display the results. Handle Outputs: The final node formats and displays the video file URL for download or embedding. Customization Tips Enhance Prompts**: Include specifics like duration, style (e.g., realistic, animated), actions, and visual elements to improve AI video quality. Keywords for SEO**: This template focuses on AI video generation, text-to-video models, Veo3 API integration, and automated workflows.

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.

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. Description This workflow automates document processing and structured table extraction using the Nanonets API. You can submit a PDF file via an n8n form trigger or webhook—the workflow then forwards the document to Nanonets, waits for asynchronous parsing to finish, retrieves the results (including header fields and line items/tables), and returns the output as an Excel file. Ideal for automating invoice, receipt, or order data extraction with downstream business use. How It Works A document is uploaded (via n8n form or webhook). The PDF is sent to the Nanonets Workflow API for parsing. The workflow waits until processing is complete. Parsed results are fetched. Both top-level fields and any table rows/line items are extracted and restructured. Data is exported to Excel format and delivered to the requester. Setup Steps Nanonets Account: Register for a Nanonets account and set up a workflow for your specific document type (e.g., invoice, receipt). Credentials in n8n: Add HTTP Basic Auth credentials in n8n for the Nanonets API (never store credentials directly in node parameters). Webhook/Form Configuration: Option 1: Configure and enable the included n8n Form Trigger node for document uploads. Option 2: Use the included Webhook node to accept external POSTs with a PDF file. Adjust Workflow: Update any HTTP nodes to use your credential profile. Insert your Nanonets Workflow ID in all relevant nodes. Test the Workflow: Enable the workflow and try with a sample document. Features Accepts documents via n8n Form Trigger or direct webhook POST. Securely sends files to Nanonets for document parsing (credentials stored in n8n credentials manager). Automatically waits for async processing, checking Nanonets until results are ready. Extracts both header data and all table/line items into a tabular format. Exports results as an Excel file download. Modular nodes allow easy customization or extension. Prerequisites Nanonets account** with workflow configured for your document type. n8n** instance with HTTP Request, Webhook/Form, Code, and Excel/Spreadsheet nodes enabled. Valid HTTP Basic Auth credentials** saved in n8n for API access. Example Use Cases | Scenario | Benefit | |-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------| | Invoice Processing | Automated extraction of line items and totals | | Receipt Digitization | Parse amounts and charges for expense reports | | Purchase Orders | Convert scanned POs into structured Excel sheets | Notes You must set up credentials in the n8n credentials manager—do not store API keys directly in nodes. All configuration and endpoints are clearly explained with inline sticky notes in the workflow editor. Easily adaptable for other document types or similar APIs—just modify endpoints and result mapping.

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.

This workflow is a experiment to build HTML pages from a user input using the new Structured Output from OpenAI. How it works: Users add what they want to build as a query parameter The OpenAI node generate an interface following a structured output defined in the body The JSON output is then converted to HTML along with a title The HTML is encapsulated in an HTML node (where the Tailwind css script is added) The HTML is rendered to the user via the Webhook response. Set up steps Create an OpenAI API Key Create the OpenAI credentials Use the credentials for both nodes HTTP Request (as Predefined Credential type) and OpenAI Activate your workflow Once active, go to the production URL and add what you'd like to build as the parameter "query" Example: https://production_url.com?query=a%20signup%20form Example of generated page

This n8n template demonstrates how to get started with Gemini 2.0's new Bounding Box detection capabilities in your workflows. The key difference being this enables prompt-based object detection for images which is pretty powerful for things like contextual search over an image. eg. "Put a bounding box around all adults with children in this image" or "Put a bounding box around cars parked out of bounds of a parking space". How it works An image is downloaded via the HTTP node and an "Edit Image" node is used to extract the file's width and height. The image is then given to the Gemini 2.0 API to parse and return coordinates of the bounding box of the requested subjects. In this demo, we've asked for the AI to identify all bunnies. The coordinates are then rescaled with the original image's width and height to correctl align them. Finally to measure the accuracy of the object detection, we use the "Edit Image" node to draw the bounding boxes onto the original image. How to use Really up to the imagination! Perhaps a form of grounding for evidence based workflows or a higher form of image search can be built. Requirements Google Gemini for LLM Customising the workflow This template is just a demonstration of an experimental version of Gemini 2.0. It is recommended to wait for Gemini 2.0 to come out of this stage before using in production.

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.
