Manual video uploads with proper metadata creation is time‑consuming and repetitive. This workflow fully automates: Monitoring a specific Google Drive folder for new video uploads Seamless YouTube upload processing Transcript extraction for context understanding AI‑powered generation of titles, descriptions, and tags Metadata application to uploaded videos without manual intervention 🔄 Node‑by‑Node Breakdown | Step | Node Purpose | |------|---------------------------------------------------------------------| | 1 | New Video? (Trigger) – Monitors specified Google Drive folder | | 2 | Download New Video – Retrieves the video file from Google Drive | | 3 | Upload to YouTube – Uploads the video to YouTube with initial settings | | 4 | Get Transcript – Extracts transcript from the uploaded video | | 5 | Adjust Transcript Format – Formats raw transcript for processing | | 6 | Create Description – Generates SEO‑optimized description | | 7 | YT Tags (Message Model) – Creates relevant tags based on content | | 8 | YT Title (Message Model) – Generates compelling title | | 9 | Define File Path Upload Format (Optional) – Structures data paths | | 10 | Update Video’s Metadata – Applies generated title, description, tags| ⚙️ Pre‑conditions / Requirements n8n with Google Drive and YouTube API credentials configured (stored as n8n credentials/variables; no hard‑coded IDs) Dedicated Google Drive folder for video uploads YouTube channel with proper upload permissions AI service access for transcript processing and metadata generation Sufficient storage for temporary video handling ⚙️ Setup Instructions Import this workflow into your n8n instance. Configure Google Drive credentials; reference folder ID via n8n variable (do not hard‑code). Set up YouTube API credentials with upload and edit permissions. Specify the target Google Drive folder ID in the New Video? trigger node (via variable). Configure AI service credentials for transcript and metadata generation. Adjust message templates for title, description, and tag creation. Test with a small video file before production use. 🎨 How to Customize Modify AI prompts to match your channel’s tone and style. Add conditional logic based on video categories or naming conventions. Implement notification systems to alert when uploads complete. Create custom metadata templates for different content types. Include timestamps or chapter markers based on transcript analysis. Add social media sharing nodes to announce new uploads. ⚠️ Important Notes Video quality is preserved through the upload process. Consider YouTube API quotas when handling multiple uploads. Transcript quality affects metadata generation results. Videos are initially uploaded without visibility adjustments. Processing time depends on video length and transcript complexity. 🔐 Security and Privacy Store API credentials and folder IDs as n8n Credentials/Variables—remove any hard‑coded tokens or IDs. Video files are processed temporarily and not stored permanently. Limit Google Drive folder access to authorized users only. Manage YouTube upload permissions carefully (use OAuth/service accounts). Ensure compliance with organizational data‑handling policies.

🤖📞 This workflow automates the process of calling customers to remind them of their booking reservations using AI-generated messages and a Twilio phone number. It can easily be adapted for other venues. Key Benefits Time-Saving Automation**: Eliminates the need for manual calls by staff, saving hours per week. Human-like AI Messages**: Uses a custom language model to generate polite, natural phone messages tailored to each customer. Multi-Channel Integration**: Google Sheets for reservation tracking. Twilio for automated calling. OpenRouter (or other LLMs) for generating speech content. Error Reduction**: Ensures all customers receive reminders exactly on the reservation day, minimizing no-shows. Scalable**: Easily adapts to growing reservation lists and more complex message logic. Suitable** for restaurants, hairdressers, offices and any other business How It Works Trigger: The workflow can be triggered manually (via "When clicking ‘Execute workflow’) or automatically at 11 AM daily (via Schedule Trigger). Data Fetch: Retrieves today’s reservations from a Google Sheet, filtering rows where DATE = today and CALLED is empty. AI-Generated Call Script: For each reservation, the Secretary Agent (powered by OpenRouter’s Grok-4) generates a phone script using the guest’s name, time, and party size. Twilio Call: The script is sent to Twilio, which calls the guest’s phone number (from the sheet) and reads the message aloud using text-to-speech. Update & Loop: Marks the reservation as called (CALLED = "x") in the sheet and waits 2 minutes between calls to avoid rate limits. Set Up Steps Twilio Configuration: Sign up for Twilio, buy a phone number, and: Enable text-to-speech (set language to Italian). Configure geo permissions for the target country. Add credentials to the Twilio node (sender number in From field). Google Sheets Setup: Clone the Google Sheet template and ensure: Phone numbers include the international prefix (without "+"). Columns: DATE, TIME, NAME, N. PEOPLE, PHONE, CALLED. OpenRouter API: Connect the OpenRouter Chat Model node to your account (using Grok-4 or another model). Deploy: Activate the workflow and test with manual execution. Note: The workflow is currently inactive (active: false). Enable it after setup. Need help customizing?

This n8n template demonstrates one approach to customer authentication via chat agents. Unlike approaches where you have to authenticate users prior to interacting with the agent, this approach allows guest users to authenticate at any time during the session or not at all. Note about Security: this template is for illustration purposes only and requires much more work to be ready for production! How it works A conversational agent is used for this demonstration. The key component is the Redis node just after the chat trigger which acts as the session context. For guests, the session item is blank. for customers, the session item is populated with their customer profile. The agent is instructed to generate a unique login URL only for guests when appropriate or upon request. This login URL redirects the guest user to a simple n8n form also hosted in this template. The login URL has the current sessionID as a query parameter as the way to pass this data to the form. Once login is successful, the matching session item by sessionId is populated with the customer profile. The user can now return to the chat window. Back to the agent, now when the user sends their next message, the Redis node will pick up the session item and the customer profile associated with it. The system prompt is updated with this data which let's the agent know the user is now a customer. How to use You'll need to update the "auth URL" tool to match the URL of your n8n instance. Better yet, copy the production URL of your form from the trigger. Activate the workflow to turn on production mode which is required for this workflow. Implement the authentication logic in step 3. This could be sending the user and pass to a postgreSQL data for validation. Requirements OpenAI for LLM (feel free to swap to any provider) Redis for Cache/Sessions (again, feel free to swap this out for postgresql or other database) Customising this workflow Consider not populating the session item with the user data as it can become stale. Instead, just add the userId and instruct the agent to query using tools. Extend the Login URL idea by experimenting with signup URLs or single-use Urls.

This n8n template demonstrates how to calculate the evaluation metric "Summarization" which in this scenario, measures the LLM's accuracy and faithfulness in producing summaries which are based on an incoming Youtube transcript. The scoring approach is adapted from https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/models/metrics-templates#pointwise_summarization_quality How it works This evaluation works best for an AI summarization workflows. For our scoring, we simple compare the generated response to the original transcript. A key factor is to look out information in the response which is not mentioned in the documents. A high score indicates LLM adherence and alignment whereas a low score could signal inadequate prompt or model hallucination.

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").
