Who's it for This workflow is perfect for directory site creators, content managers, and developers who need to automatically find and select the highest quality favicon or logo for websites they're showcasing. Instead of manually hunting down brand assets or settling for blurry default icons, this workflow does the heavy lifting by fetching multiple options and using AI to pick the best one. How it works The workflow takes a website URL and domain as input, then intelligently fetches favicon images from three different sources: Google's Favicon API - Gets the site's actual favicon Logo.dev - Provides high-quality brand logos Clearbit - Alternative logo source for business websites Once all images are collected, the workflow uses OpenAI's vision model to analyze each icon based on: Image quality and resolution (minimum 256x256) Brand authenticity (avoiding generic framework icons) Visual clarity without artifacts or blur Professional presentation suitable for directory listings The AI assigns quality scores from 0.0 to 1.0, and the workflow automatically returns the URL of the highest-scoring favicon. Requirements OpenAI API key (for image analysis) Logo.dev API key (free tier available) How to set up Configure API credentials: Add your OpenAI API key to n8n credentials Sign up for Logo.dev and add your API token The Clearbit and Google APIs require no authentication Test the workflow: Use the pinned test data (Fyxer AI example) or replace with your own Ensure all HTTP nodes can successfully fetch images Verify the AI analysis is working by checking the quality scores Customize input format: Modify the workflow trigger to accept your preferred input format Adjust the domain extraction logic if needed for your use case How to customize the workflow For different quality criteria: Edit the AI prompt in the "analyze_each_icon" node to emphasize different aspects (transparency, size, style preferences) For additional favicon sources: Add more HTTP Request nodes pointing to other favicon/logo APIs Update the merge node to handle additional inputs Modify the final URL construction logic to handle new sources For batch processing: Wrap this workflow in a loop to process multiple websites at once Add error handling for failed requests or AI analysis timeouts The workflow is designed to be reliable and handles errors gracefully - if one favicon source fails, it continues with the available options and still provides the best result possible.

Who's it for This workflow is designed for users who want to implement iterative AI-powered content improvement processes. It's ideal for content creators, marketers, product managers, and anyone who needs to refine ideas through multiple rounds of critique and enhancement until they meet quality standards. How it works The workflow creates a sophisticated feedback loop using three specialized AI agents that work together to continuously improve content. Starting with an initial input (like a product description), the system generates ideas and then enters a reasoning loop where: A Critic Agent analyzes the current output and identifies flaws or areas for improvement A Refiner Agent takes the original input plus the critic's feedback to create enhanced versions An Evaluator Agent assesses the refined output and determines if it meets the quality threshold The loop continues until either the evaluator determines the output is satisfactory or a maximum number of iterations is reached (configurable, default is 5 turns). How to set up Configure the initial AI agent to generate your starting content Set up the loop structure with "Reset Loop" enabled in the loop node options Configure three AI agents within the loop: Critic: Provide detailed analysis prompts for identifying improvements Refiner: Create prompts that incorporate feedback to enhance content Evaluator: Define quality criteria and decision-making logic Add Edit Fields nodes at the beginning and end of the loop to maintain data structure Include a Code node to track iteration count and loop control Set up the IF node to check exit conditions (max turns or completion status) Requirements n8n workflow environment Access to AI/LLM nodes (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) Basic understanding of JSON data structures Configured AI model credentials How to customize the workflow Customize the system prompts for each agent based on your specific use case. The critic should focus on your quality criteria, the refiner should understand your improvement goals, and the evaluator should have clear success metrics. Adjust the maximum iteration count in the code node and IF condition based on your complexity needs and token budget considerations.

This workflow automates the generation and delivery of personalized business documents (e.g., contracts, job offers, invoices, pay slips) in PDF format. The data source is a Google Sheet, and the documents are created using CraftMyPDF, then uploaded to Google Drive and optionally sent via email. This workflow is ideal for bulk document generation (contracts, invoices, etc.) with minimal manual intervention. Benefits Fully Automated**: Once triggered, it handles the whole pipeline end-to-end—no manual editing or document creation needed. Customizable**: Works with any type of business document as long as you provide a CraftMyPDF template. Scalable**: Processes multiple entries in batch, ideal for HR departments or finance teams. Integrated**: Seamlessly connects Google Sheets, CraftMyPDF, Google Drive, and Gmail. Trackable**: Updates the original spreadsheet to keep track of which documents have been processed. Requirements Self-hosted n8n instance (required for some advanced node usage). Google Sheet template with columns like: FIRST NAME, LAST NAME, ADDRESS, etc. A CraftMyPDF account with a ready-made template. Google OAuth2 credentials for Sheets, Drive, and Gmail integrations. How It Works Trigger & Data Fetch: The workflow starts with a manual trigger ("When clicking ‘Execute workflow’"). It retrieves employee data from a Google Sheet ("Get employees"), filtering rows where the "DONE" column is empty. PDF Generation & Processing: The "Loop Over Items" node processes each employee record individually. The "Create agreement" node uses CraftMyPDF to generate a PDF contract, populating it with employee details (name, address, email, etc.). A conditional node ("Success?") checks if PDF creation was successful. PDF Handling & Notifications: The PDF is fetched ("Get agreement") and uploaded to Google Drive ("Upload agreement") with a filename like [First-Name]-[Last-Name].pdf. An email with the PDF attachment is sent to the employee via Gmail ("Send email with PDF"). Tracking & Completion: The Google Sheet row is updated with "x" in the "DONE" column ("Update row") to mark completion. The workflow merges results and loops until all records are processed. Set Up Steps Prerequisites: Use the self-hosted version of n8n (required for this workflow). Clone the provided Google Sheet template. Configure CraftMyPDF: Create an account on CraftMyPDF. Design a PDF template and note its Template ID. Insert this ID in the "Create agreement" node. Credentials Setup: Connect nodes to: Google Sheets (to fetch/update data). Google Drive (to store PDFs). Gmail (to send emails). CraftMyPDF (for PDF generation). Customization: Adjust field mappings in the "Create agreement" node to match your PDF template placeholders. Modify the email template in "Send email with PDF" as needed. Execution: Run the workflow manually. It will process all rows lacking a "DONE" marker, generating PDFs, sending emails, and updating the sheet automatically. Need help customizing?

After managing remote teams for 3 years, I've discovered that the most successful remote workers share three key habits that transform their daily performance. First, they create physical boundaries even in small spaces. A dedicated workspace signals to your brain that it's time to focus, even if it's just a corner of your kitchen table. Second, they batch similar tasks together. Instead of jumping between emails, calls, and deep work, they group activities to maintain mental flow and reduce cognitive switching costs. Third, they communicate proactively rather than reactively. They share progress updates before being asked and clarify expectations upfront to avoid confusion later. What's your most effective remote work strategy? I'd love to hear what's working for your team! 💪 #RemoteWork #Productivity #WorkFromHome #Leadership #TeamManagement #ProfessionalDevelopment 🛠️ Troubleshooting & Best Practices Common Issues & Solutions LinkedIn API Limitations Respect posting frequency limits to avoid account restrictions Monitor API usage and implement appropriate delays between posts Ensure compliance with LinkedIn's terms of service Maintain authentic engagement rather than purely automated interactions Group Posting Permissions Verify membership status and posting rights before adding group IDs Some groups require administrator approval for posts Monitor group rules and community guidelines Remove inactive or restricted groups from your list Content Quality Control Review AI-generated content periodically for brand consistency Adjust prompts based on engagement performance Maintain a balance between automation and personal touch Monitor comments and engage authentically with your audience Optimization Strategies Performance Enhancement Track engagement metrics across different groups A/B test posting times and content formats Refine prompts based on successful post patterns Gradually expand to new groups based on performance Content Strategy Develop content themes that resonate with your target audience Create series of related posts for deeper engagement Balance promotional content with value-driven insights Maintain consistency in voice and messaging Network Growth Engage with comments on your automated posts Connect with active commenters to expand your network Participate in group discussions beyond your own posts Build genuine relationships through authentic interactions 📈 Success Metrics Engagement Indicators Post Reach: Total views across profile and groups Interaction Rate: Comments, likes, and shares per post Network Growth: New connections from content engagement Group Performance: Which communities provide best engagement Business Impact Measurements Lead Generation: Connections and inquiries from LinkedIn posts Brand Awareness: Mentions and sharing of your content Thought Leadership: Recognition as industry expert Professional Opportunities: Speaking, collaboration, or job opportunities 📞 Questions & Support Need help setting up or optimizing your LinkedIn AI Agent workflow? 📧 Direct Technical Support Email: Yaron@nofluff.online Response Time: Within 24 hours on business days Expertise: LinkedIn API integration, AI prompt optimization, workflow scaling 🎥 Comprehensive Learning Resources YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@YaronBeen/videos Complete setup walkthrough and configuration Advanced customization techniques and strategies LinkedIn API best practices and limitations Content strategy optimization for maximum engagement Troubleshooting common integration issues 🤝 Professional Networking & Updates LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yaronbeen/ Connect for ongoing automation support and advice Share your LinkedIn growth success stories Get early access to new workflow templates and features Join discussions about LinkedIn marketing automation 💬 Support Request Guidelines Include in your support message: Your current LinkedIn strategy and goals Target audience and industry focus Specific LinkedIn groups you want to target Any technical errors or integration issues Current content creation process and pain points
