Workflow Templates

⚙️ How it works Workflow starts from a manual trigger or form submission with project details. It extracts key input data like client name, email, project type, deadline, and brand folder (optional). A Google Drive folder is automatically created inside a designated parent folder. The shareable link of the newly created folder is generated. A personalized email is composed and sent to the client using Gmail, including project details and folder link. 🛠️ Set up steps Google Drive Setup: Connect your Google Drive credentials in n8n. Set the parent folder ID where all project folders should be created. Gmail Setup: Connect a Gmail account with proper access. Customize the subject and message template in the Gmail node. Input Data Preparation: Ensure the following input fields are provided: client_name contact_email project_type deadline brand_drive_folder (optional) Test & Deploy: Use mock data or a test trigger to validate the workflow. Once confirmed, deploy it with the actual trigger (e.g. webhook, form submission).

FTP to Google Drive Transfer Template What This Template Does This workflow automatically transfers files from an FTP server to Google Drive. It's perfect for: Backing up files from remote servers Migrating data from FTP to cloud storage Automating file synchronization tasks Creating scheduled backups of server content How It Works The workflow follows these steps: Manual Trigger - You start the process by clicking "Execute" Lists FTP Directory - Scans the specified FTP folder for all items Filters Files Only - Separates actual files from directories (folders) Downloads Files - Retrieves each file as binary data from the FTP server Uploads to Google Drive - Stores all downloaded files in your specified Google Drive folder Requirements Before using this template, you'll need: FTP Server Access**: Server address, username, and password Google Drive Account**: With OAuth2 authentication set up in n8n n8n Instance**: Self-hosted or cloud version Setup Instructions Step 1: Configure FTP Credentials In n8n, go to Settings → Credentials Create a new FTP credential Enter your FTP server details: Host: Your FTP server address Port: Usually 21 for FTP Username: Your FTP username Password: Your FTP password Test the connection and save Step 2: Set Up Google Drive Authentication Create a new Google Drive OAuth2 credential Follow n8n's Google Drive setup guide: Create a Google Cloud project Enable Google Drive API Create OAuth2 credentials Add your n8n callback URL Authorize the connection in n8n Step 3: Configure the Workflow Update FTP Path: Open the "List FTP Directory" node Change the path parameter from /_instalki to your desired FTP folder Set Google Drive Folder: Open the "Upload to Google Drive" node Replace the folderId with your target Google Drive folder ID To find folder ID: Open the folder in Google Drive and copy the ID from the URL Assign Credentials: Ensure both FTP nodes use your FTP credential Assign your Google Drive credential to the upload node How to Use Test First: Run the workflow manually with a few test files Monitor Execution: Check the execution log for any errors Verify Upload: Confirm files appear in your Google Drive folder Schedule (Optional): Add a schedule trigger if you want automatic runs Customization Options Filter Specific File Types Add a condition after "Filter Files Only" to process only certain file extensions: {{ $json.name.endsWith('.pdf') || $json.name.endsWith('.jpg') }} Add Error Handling Insert error-handling nodes to manage failed downloads or uploads gracefully. Organize by Date Modify the Google Drive upload to create date-based folders automatically. File Size Limits Add checks for file size before attempting upload (Google Drive has limits). Troubleshooting Common Issues: FTP Connection Failed**: Check server address, port, and credentials Google Drive Upload Error**: Verify OAuth2 setup and folder permissions Files Not Found**: Ensure the FTP path exists and contains files Large Files**: Consider Google Drive's file size limitations (15GB for free accounts) Tips: Test with small files first Check n8n execution logs for detailed error messages Ensure your Google Drive has sufficient storage space Verify FTP server allows multiple concurrent connections Security Notes Never hardcode credentials in the workflow Use n8n's credential system for all authentication Consider using SFTP instead of FTP for better security Regularly rotate your FTP passwords Review Google Drive sharing permissions Next Steps Once you have this basic transfer working, you might want to: Add email notifications for successful/failed transfers Implement file deduplication checks Create logs of transferred files Set up automatic cleanup of old files Add file compression before upload

How It Works This workflow automates the analysis of security alerts from Sophos Central, turning raw events into actionable intelligence. It uses the official Sophos SIEM integration tool to fetch data, enriches it with VirusTotal, and leverages Google Gemini to provide a real-time threat summary and mitigation plan via Telegram. Prerequisite (Important): This workflow is triggered by a webhook that receives data from an external Python script. You must first set up the Sophos-Central-SIEM-Integration script from the official Sophos GitHub. This script will fetch data and forward it to your n8n webhook URL. Tool Source Code: Sophos/Sophos-Central-SIEM-Integration The n8n Workflow Steps Webhook: Receives enriched event and alert data from the external Python script. IF (Filter): Immediately filters the incoming data to ensure only events with a high or critical severity are processed, reducing noise from low-priority alerts. Code (Prepare Indicator): Intelligently inspects the Sophos event data to extract the primary threat indicator. It prioritizes indicators in the following order: File Hash (SHA256), URL/Domain, or Source IP. HTTP Request (VirusTotal): The extracted indicator is sent to the VirusTotal API to get a detailed reputation report, including how many security vendors flagged it as malicious. Code (Prompt for Gemini): The raw JSON output from VirusTotal is processed into a clean, human-readable summary and a detailed list of flagging vendors. AI Agent (Google Gemini): All collected data—the original Sophos log, the full alert details, and the formatted VirusTotal reputation—is compiled into a detailed prompt for Gemini. The AI acts as a virtual SOC analyst to: Create a concise incident summary. Determine the risk level. Provide a list of concrete, actionable mitigation steps. Telegram: The complete analysis and mitigation plan from Gemini is formatted into a clean, easy-to-read message and sent to your specified Telegram chat. Setup Instructions Configure the external Python script to forward events to this workflow's Production URL. In n8n, create Credentials for Google Gemini, VirusTotal, and Telegram. Assign the newly created credentials to the corresponding nodes in the workflow.

Connect LLM Integration: Configure the summarization chain with your chosen model and parameters for text splitting. How to customize this workflow to meet your needs Adjust the summarization model or modify text-splitter parameters to accommodate different lengths and complexities of video transcripts. Integrate additional nodes to export summaries directly into your preferred tools, such as Google Drive, Slack, or email. Customize prompt templates in the summarization chain to obtain various summary styles (bullet points, paragraphs, etc.). Modify the trigger to suit your workflow. Example Usage Input: YouTube video ID (wBuULAoJxok). Output: A concise, actionable summary that highlights key ideas, recommendations, and insights from the video.

How it works This template launches your very first AI Agent —an AI-powered chatbot that can do more than just talk— it can take action using tools. Think of an AI Agent as a smart assistant, and the tools are the apps on its phone. By connecting it to other nodes, you give your agent the ability to interact with real-world data and services, like checking the weather, fetching news, or even sending emails on your behalf. This workflow is designed to be the perfect starting point: The Chat Interface:** A Chat Trigger node provides a simple, clean interface for you to talk to your agent. The Brains:** The AI Agent node receives your messages, intelligently decides which tool to use (if any), and formulates a helpful response. Its personality and instructions are fully customizable in the "System Message". The Language Model:* It uses *Google Gemini** to power its reasoning and conversation skills. The Tools:** It comes pre-equipped with two tools to demonstrate its capabilities: Get Weather: Fetches real-time weather forecasts. Get News: Reads any RSS feed to get the latest headlines. The Memory:** A Conversation Memory node allows the agent to remember the last few messages, enabling natural, follow-up conversations. Set up steps Setup time: ~2 minutes You only need one thing to get started: a free Google AI API key. Get Your Google AI API Key: Visit Google AI Studio at aistudio.google.com/app/apikey. Click "Create API key in new project" and copy the key that appears. Add Your Credential in n8n: On the workflow canvas, go to the Connect your model (Google Gemini) node. Click the Credential dropdown and select + Create New Credential. Paste your API key into the API Key field and click Save. Start Chatting! Go to the Example Chat node. Click the "Open Chat" button in its parameter panel. Try asking it one of the example questions, like: "What's the weather in Paris?" or "Get me the latest tech news." That's it! You now have a fully functional AI Agent. Try adding more tools (like Gmail or Google Calendar) to make it even more powerful.

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. Check out the complete guide at https://support.noduslabs.com/hc/en-us/articles/20174217658396-Using-InfraNodus-Knowledge-Graphs-as-Experts-for-AI-Chatbot-Agents-in-n8n Also check out the video tutorial with a demo:

Use Case When tracking your contacts and leads in Hubspot CRM, every new contact might be a potential customer. To guarantee that you're keeping the overview you'd normally need to look at every new lead that is coming in manually to identify high-quality leads to prioritize their engagement and optimize the sales process. This workflow saves the work and does it for you. What this workflow does The workflow runs every 5 minutes. On every run, it checks the Hubspot CRM for contacts that were added since the last check. It then checks if they meet certain criteria (in this case if they are making +5m annual revenue) and alerts you in Slack for every match. Setup Add Hubspot, and Slack credentials. Click on Test workflow. How to adjust this workflow to your needs Change the schedule interval Adjust the criteria to send alerts

This n8n workflow demonstrates how to build a simple uptime monitoring service using scheduled triggers. Useful for webmasters with a handful of sites who want a cost-effective solution without the need for all the bells and whistles. How it works Scheduled trigger reads a list of website urls in a Google Sheet every 5 minutes Each website url is checked using the HTTP node which determines if the website is either in the UP or DOWN state. An email and Slack message are sent for websites which are in the DOWN state. The Google Sheet is updated with the website's state and a log created. Logs can be used to determine total % of UP and DOWN time over a period. Requirements Google Sheet for storing websites to monitor and their states Gmail for email alerts Slack for channel alerts Customising the workflow Don't use Google Sheets? This can easily be exchanged with Excel or Airtable.

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.
