Workflow Templates

Use case Workshop We are using this workflow in our workshops to teach how to use Tools a.k.a functions with artificial intelligence. In this specific case, we will use a generic "AI Agent" node to illustrate that it could use other models from different data providers. Enhanced Weather Forecasting In this small example, it's easy to demonstrate how to obtain weather forecast results from the Open-Meteo site to accurately display the upcoming days. This can be used to plan travel decisions, for example. What this workflow does We will make an HTTP request to find out the geographic coordinates of a city. Then, we will make other HTTP requests to discover the weather for the upcoming days. In this workshop, we demonstrate that the AI will be able to determine which tool to call first—it will first call the geolocation tool and then the weather forecast tool. All of this within a single client conversation call. Setup Insert an OpenAI Key and activate the workflow. by Davi Saranszky Mesquita https://www.linkedin.com/in/mesquitadavi/

Description This n8n workflow enables users to send an image to a Telegram bot and receive the extracted text using Tesseract OCR (via the n8n-nodes-tesseractjs Community Node). It's a quick and straightforward way to convert images into readable text directly through chat. How it Works The workflow listens for new image messages coming in via the Telegram bot. Once an image is received, it downloads the image file from Telegram (which initially arrives as application/octet-stream). The image data, now properly identified, is then sent to the Tesseract OCR node to extract the text. Finally, the recognized text is sent back as a reply to the Telegram user. Setup Steps Install Community Node: Ensure you have installed n8n-nodes-tesseractjs in your n8n instance. Connect Telegram Bot: Configure the Telegram Trigger node with your Telegram bot. Bot Token: Add your Telegram bot token to the Send Message node to send replies. Deploy & Test: Activate (deploy) the workflow and send an image to your Telegram bot to test.

A Discord bot that responds to mentions by sending messages to n8n workflows and returning the responses. Connects Discord conversations with custom automations, APIs, and AI services through n8n. Full guide on: https://github.com/JimPresting/AI-Discord-Bot/blob/main/README.md Discord Bot Summary Overview The Discord bot listens for mentions, forwards questions to an n8n workflow, processes responses, and replies in Discord. This workflow is intended for all Discord users who want to offer AI interactions with their respective channels. What do you need? You need a Discord account as well as a Google Cloud Project Key Features 1. Listens for Mentions The bot monitors Discord channels for messages that mention it. Optional Configuration**: Can be set to respond only in a specific channel. 2. Forwards Questions to n8n When a user mentions the bot and asks a question: The bot extracts the question. Sends the question, along with channel and user information, to an n8n webhook URL. 3. Processes Data in n8n The n8n workflow receives the question and can: Interact with AI services (e.g., generating responses). Access databases or external APIs. Perform custom logic. n8n formats the response and sends it back to the bot. 4. Replies to Discord with n8n's Response The bot receives the response from n8n. It replies to the user's message in the Discord channel with the answer. Long Responses**: Handles responses exceeding Discord's 2000-character limit by chunking them into multiple messages. 5. Error Handling Includes error handling for: Issues with n8n communication. Response formatting problems. Manages cases where: No question is asked. An invalid response is received from n8n. 6. Typing Indicator While waiting for n8n's response, the bot sends a "typing..." indicator to the Discord channel. 7. Status Update For lengthy n8n processes, the bot sends a message to the Discord channel to inform the user that it is still processing their request.

Create a Telegram bot that combines advanced AI functionalities with LangChain nodes and new tools. Nodes as tools and the HTTP request tool are a new n8n feature that extend custom workflow tool and simplify your setup. We used the workflow tool in the previous Telegram template to call the Dalle-3 model. In the new version, we've achieved similar results using the HTTP Request tool and the Telegram node tool instead. The main difference is that Telegram bot becomes more flexible. The LangChain Agent node can decide which tool to use and when. In the previous version, all steps inside the custom workflow tool were executed sequentially. ⚠️ Note that you'd need to select the Tools Agent to work with new tools. Before launching the template, make sure to set up your OpenAI and Telegram credentials. Here’s how the new Telegram bot works: Telegram Trigger listens for new messages in a specified Telegram chat. This node activates the rest of the workflow after receiving a message. AI Tool Agent receives input text, processes it using the OpenAI model and replies to a user. It addresses users by name and sends image links when an image is requested. The OpenAI GPT-4o model generates context-aware responses. You can configure the model parameters or swap this node entirely. Window buffer memory helps maintain context across conversations. It stores the last 10 interactions and ensures that the agent can access previous messages within a session. Conversations from different users are stored in different buffers. The HTTP request tool connects with OpenAI's DALL-E-3 API to generate images based on user prompts. The tool is called when the user asks for an image. Telegram node tool sends generated images back to the user in a Telegram chat. It retrieves the image from the URL returned by the DALL-E-3 model. This does not happen directly, however. The response from the HTTP request tool is first stored in the Agent’s scratchpad (think of it as a short-term memory). In the next iteration, the Agent sends the updated response to the GPT model once again. The GPT model will then create a new tool request to send the image back to the user. To pass the image URL, the tool uses the new $fromAI() expression. Send final reply node sends the final response message created by the agent back to the user on Telegram. Even though the image was already passed to the user, the Agent always stops with the final response that comes from dedicated output. ⚠️ Note, that the Agent may not adhere to the same sequence of actions in 100% of situations. For example, sometimes it could skip sending the file via the Telegram node tool and instead just send an URL in the final reply. If you have a longer series of predefined steps, it may be better to use the “old” custom workflow tool. This template is perfect as a starting point for building AI agentic workflow. Take a look at another agentic Telegram AI template that can handle both text and voice messages.

1. How it Works This n8n workflow automates fine-tuning OpenAI models through these key steps: Manual Trigger**: Starts with the "When clicking ‘Test workflow’" event to initiate the process. Downloads a .jsonl file from Google Drive Upload to OpenAI**: Uploads the .jsonl file to OpenAI via the "Upload File" node (with purpose "fine-tune"). Create Fine-tuning Job**: Sends a POST request to the endpoint https://api.openai.com/v1/fine_tuning/jobs with: { "training_file": "{{ $json.id }}", "model": "gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18" } OpenAI automatically starts training the model based on the provided file. Interaction with the Trained Model**: An "AI Agent" uses the custom model (e.g., ft:gpt-4o-mini-2024-07-18:n3w-italia::XXXX7B) to respond to chat messages. 2. Set up Steps To configure the workflow: Prepare the Training File: Create a .jsonl file following the specified syntax (e.g., travel assistant Q/A examples). Upload it to Google Drive and update the ID in the "Google Drive" node. Configure Credentials: Google Drive: Connect an account via OAuth2 (googleDriveOAuth2Api). OpenAI: Add your API key in the "OpenAI Chat Model" and "Upload File" nodes. Customize the Model: In the "OpenAI Chat Model" node, specify the name of your fine-tuned model (e.g., ft:gpt-4o-mini-...). Update the HTTP request body (Create Fine-tuning Job) if needed (e.g., a different base model). Start the Workflow: Use the manual trigger ("Test workflow") to begin the upload and training process. Test the model via the "Chat Trigger" (chat messages). Integrated Documentation: Follow the instructions in the Sticky Notes to: Properly format the .jsonl (Step 1). Monitor progress on OpenAI (Step 2, link: https://platform.openai.com/finetune/). Note: Ensure the .jsonl file adheres to OpenAI’s required structure and that credentials are valid.

Who is this template for This template is for marketers, SEO specialists, or content managers who need to analyze keywords to identify which ones contain references to a specific area or topic, in this case – IT software, services, tools, or apps. Use case Automating the process of scanning a large list of keywords to determine if they reference known IT products or services (like ServiceNow, Salesforce, etc.), and updating a Google Sheet with this classification. This helps in categorizing keywords for targeted SEO campaigns, content creation, or market analysis. How this workflow works Fetches keyword data from a Google Sheet Processes keywords in batches to prevent rate limiting Uses an AI agent (OpenAI) to analyze each keyword and determine if it contains a reference to an IT service/software Updates the original Google Sheet with the results in a "Service?" column Continues processing until all keywords are analyzed Set up steps Connect your Google Sheets account credentials Set the Google Sheet document ID (currently using "Copy of Sheet1 1") Configure the OpenAI API credentials for the AI agent Adjust the batch size (currently 6) if needed based on your API rate limits Ensure the Google Sheet has the required columns: "Number", "Keyword", and "Service?" The AI agent's prompt is highly customizable to match different identification needs. For example, instead of looking for IT software/services, you could modify the prompt to identify: Industry-specific terms (healthcare, finance, education) Geographic references (cities, countries, regions) Product categories (electronics, clothing, food) Competitor brand mentions Here's how you could modify the prompt for different use cases: Copy // For identifying educational content keywords "Check the keyword I provided and define if this keyword relates to educational content, courses, or learning materials and return yes or no." // For identifying local service keywords "Check the keyword I provided and determine if it contains location-specific terms (city names, neighborhoods, regions) that suggest local service intent and return yes or no." // For identifying competitor mentions "Check the keyword I provided and determine if it mentions any of our competitors (CompetitorA, CompetitorB, CompetitorC) and return yes or no." `

This n8n automation is designed to extract, process, and store content from Notion pages into a Pinecone vector store. Here's a breakdown of the workflow: Notion - Page Added Trigger: The automation starts by monitoring for newly added pages in a specific Notion database. It triggers whenever a new page is created, capturing the page's metadata. Notion - Retrieve Page Content: Once triggered, the automation fetches the full content of the newly added Notion page, including blocks like text, images, and videos. Filter Non-Text Content: The next step filters out non-text content (such as images and videos), ensuring only textual content is processed. Summarize - Concatenate Notion's blocks content: The remaining text content is concatenated into a single block of text for easier processing. Token Splitter: The concatenated text is then split into manageable tokens, which are chunks of text that can be used for embedding. Create metadata and load content: Metadata such as the page ID, creation time, and title are added to the content, making it easy to reference and track. Embeddings Google Gemini: The processed text is passed through a Google Gemini model to generate embeddings, which are numerical representations of the text that capture its semantic meaning. Pinecone Vector Store: Finally, the embeddings, along with the content and metadata, are stored in a Pinecone vector store, making it searchable and ready for use in applications like document retrieval or natural language processing tasks. This workflow ensures that every new page added to the Notion database is processed into a format that can be easily searched and used in machine learning applications. The automation runs every minute to capture new data in real-time, providing an up-to-date and searchable vector database of Notion content. Use Case: This automation converts Notion pages into vector embeddings and stores them in Pinecone for enhanced search and AI-driven insights. It’s ideal for teams using Notion for knowledge management, enabling semantic search and context-based content retrieval. For example, employees can easily find relevant information across documents, and data scientists can use AI models to analyze and summarize the content stored in Notion.
