Workflow Templates

How it works: Whenever a new event is scheduled on your Google Calendar, this workflow generates a Meeting Briefing email, giving an overview of each person on the call and the company they work for. It makes use of the web search tool on the OpenAI Responses API to make lookups. The workflow triggers when a new event is added to the calendar, loops over each attendee, generating reports on each person and their company, collates the results, and sends the briefing as an email. Set up steps: Add your credentials for Google Calendar (for viewing events) and Gmail (to send the email) Add your OpenAI credentials as a Header Auth on the Company Search and Person Search nodes. Name: Authorization Value: Bearer {{ YOUR_API_KEY }} Edit the "Edit Fields" node with the email that you want to send the briefing to, and a short bit of context about yourself.

Google Drive Duplicate File Manager 🧹📁 Purpose: Automate the process of finding and managing duplicate files in your Google Drive. Who's it for? Individuals and teams aiming to streamline their Google Drive. Anyone tired of manual duplicate file cleanup. What it Solves: Saves storage space 💾. Reduces file confusion 😕➡️🙂. Automates tedious cleanup tasks 🤖. How it works: Trigger: Monitors a Google Drive folder for new files. Configuration: Sets rules for keeping and handling duplicates. Find Duplicates: Identifies duplicate files based on their content (MD5Checksum). Action: Either moves duplicates to trash or renames them. Setup Guide: Google Drive Trigger ⏰: Set up the trigger to watch a specific folder or your entire drive (use caution with the root folder! ⚠️). Configure the polling interval (default: every 15 minutes). Config Node ⚙️: keep: Choose whether to keep the "first" or "last" uploaded file (default: "last"). action: Select "trash" to delete duplicates or "flag" to rename them with "DUPLICATE-" (default: "flag"). owner & folder: Taken from the trigger. Only change if needed. Key Considerations: Google Drive API limits:** Be mindful of API usage. Folder Scope:* The workflow handles one folder depth by default. (WARNING: If configured to work with the Root folder / all files in all sub-directories are processed so *USE THIS OPTION WITH CAUTION** since the workflow might trash/rename important files) Google Apps:** Google docs are ignored since they are not actual binary-files and their content can't be compared. Enjoy your clean Google Drive! ✨

How it works This template automates the conversion of CAD and BIM files Revit, AutoCAD, IFC, MicroStation (e.g. .rvt, .ifc, .dwg, .dgn) into structured Excel databases and lightweight 3D geometry .dae files using the DataDrivenConstruction open-source converter. 📦 High-level steps: Set file paths and converter path in the Set node Trigger conversion via Execute Command (runs .exe converter offline) Output includes .xlsx (data) and .dae (3D model) files Includes sticky note instructions for troubleshooting and GitHub repo info Set up steps 🕒 Setup time: ~10 minutes You’ll need: Windows machine (offline or airgapped OK) Path to the converter .exe file Path to a sample .rvt (or .ifc, .dwg, .dgn) file 🧷 Setup paths in the Set node: path_to_converter = "C:\\...\\RvtExporter.exe" path_project_file = "C:\\...\\project.rvt" Docs & Issues: Full Readme on GitHub

If you have a shared or personal drive location with a high frequency of files created by humans, it can become difficult to organise. This may not matter... until you need to search for something! This n8n workflow works with the local filesystem to target the messy folder and categorise as well as organise its files into sub directories automatically. Disclaimer Unfortunately due to the intended use-case, this workflow will not work on n8n Cloud and a self-hosted version of n8n is required. How it works Uses the local file trigger to activate once a new file is introduced to the directory The new file's filename and filetype are analysed using AI to determine the best location to move this file. The AI assess the current subdirectories as to not create duplicates. If a relevant subdirectory is not found, a new subdirectory is suggested. Finally, an Execute Command node uses the AI's suggestions to move the new file into the correct location. Requirements Self-hosted version of n8n. The nodes used in this workflow only work in the self-hosted version. If you are using docker, you must create a bind mount to a host directory. Mistral.ai account for LLM model Customise this workflow If the frequency of files created is high enough, you may not want the trigger to active on every new file created event. Switch to a timer to avoid concurrency issues. Want to go fully local? A version of this workflow is available which uses Ollama instead.

Who is this for? Security professionals Developers Individuals interested in data breach awareness Use Case Automated monitoring for new breaches Proactive identity protection Demonstration of simple cache mechanism What this workflow does Checks the Have I Been Pwned API every 15 minutes for the latest breaches. Compares new breach data against previously notified breaches. Demonstrates a simple cache mechanism to track previously seen breaches. How the Cache Functionality Works Read from Cache**: Retrieves the last known breach from cache.json to avoid redundant alerts for the same breach. Compare Against Current Breach**: The workflow checks if the latest fetched breach differs from the cached one. Update the Cache**: If a new breach is detected, it updates cache.json with the latest breach data. Setup instructions The endpoint used in this workflow does not require an API key. Add your desired alert mechanism in the red box attached to the New breach node. How to customize this workflow to your needs Modify Notification Settings**: Tailor where alerts are sent (email, Slack, etc.). Add the desired node after the New breach node. This node contains all the data from the breach so it is eaisily available. You can choose from a variety of n8n nodes to send alerts when a new breach is detected. Below are a few common options you might consider adding after the New breach node: Email Node What it does: Sends an email notification to one or more recipients. Use case: Great for simple alerts to your inbox or a team distribution list. Customization: You can include breach details in the subject or body of the email, using data from the New breach node. Slack Node What it does: Sends a message to a Slack channel or user. Use case: Perfect for real-time alerts to your team in Slack. Customization: You can post breach details directly in a channel or DM. You can also format the message (bold, code blocks, etc.). Microsoft Teams Node What it does: Sends a message to a Teams channel. Use case: For organizations that use Microsoft Teams for communication. Customization: Similar to Slack, you can customize the message content and include all relevant breach information. Discord Node What it does: Sends an alert message to a Discord channel. Use case: Useful for teams or communities that coordinate via Discord. Customization: Add formatted messages with breach details for easy viewing. Telegram Node What it does: Sends messages to a Telegram chat or group. Use case: Good for mobile notifications and fast alerts. Customization: You can include breach summaries or detailed information, and even use bots to automate this. Webhook Node (as a sender) What it does: Sends breach data to another service via a webhook. Use case: If you have an external system or app that handles alerts, you can push the data directly to it. Customization: Send JSON payloads with detailed breach information to trigger actions in other systems. SMS Nodes (like Twilio) What it does: Sends an SMS notification to one or more phone numbers. Use case: For urgent alerts that need to be seen immediately. Customization: Keep messages concise, including key breach details like the time, type of breach, and affected system. Adjust Check Frequency**: Change the interval in the Schedule Trigger node (e.g., hourly or daily).

This workflow automatically sends Zendesk tickets to Pipedrive contacts and makes them task assignees. The automation is triggered every 5 minutes, with Zendesk checking and collecting new tickets which are then individually assigned to a Pipedrive contact. Prerequisites Pipedrive account and Pipedrive credentials Zendesk account and Zendesk credentials Note: The Pipedrive and the Zendesk accounts need to be created by the same person / with the same email. How it works Cron node triggers the workflow every 5 minutes. Zendesk node collects all the tickets received after the last execution timestamp. Set node passes only the requester`s email and ID further to the Merge node. Merge by key node merges both inputs together, the tickets and their contact emails. Pipedrive node then searches for the requester. HTTP Request node gets owner information of Pipedrive contact. Set nodes keep only the requester owner's email and the agent`s email and id. Merge by key node merges the information and adds the contact owner to ticket data. Zendesk node changes the assignee to the Pipedrive contact owner or adds a note if the requester is not found. The Function Item node sets the new last execution timestamp.

Based on Jonathan's work. Check out his templates. How it works This workflow will backup your workflows to GitHub. It uses the n8n API node to export all workflows. It then loops over the data, checks in GitHub to see if a file exists that uses the credential's ID. Once checked it will: update the file on GitHub if it exists; create a new file if it doesn't exist; ignore if it's the same. Who is this for? People wanting to backup their workflows outside the server for safety purposes or to migrate to another server. Check out my other templates 👉 https://n8n.io/creators/solomon/

Purpose This workflow creates a versioned backup of an entire Clockify workspace split up into monthly reports. How it works This backup routine runs daily by default The Clockify reports API endpoint is used to get all data from the workspace based on time entries A report file is being retrieved for every month starting with the current one, going back 3 month in total by default If changes happened during a day to any report, it is being updated in Github Prerequisites Create a private Github repository Create credentials for both Clockify and Github (make sure to give permissions for read and write operations) Setup Clone the workflow and select the belonging credentials Follow the instructions given in the yellow sticky notes Activate the workflow

Purpose This ensures that executions of scheduled workflows do not overlap when they take longer than expected. How it works This is a separate workflow which monitors the execution of the main workflow Stores a flag in Redis (key dynamically named after workflow ID) which indicates if the main workflow is running or idle Only calls the main workflow if the last execution has finished Setup Update the credentials suitable for your Redis instance Replace the Schedule Trigger of your main workflow by an Execute Workflow Trigger Copy the workflow ID from the URL Paste the workflow ID in the Execute Workflow Node of this workflow Configure the Schedule Trigger Node

Overview This template integrates an IOT multi-button switch (meant for controlling a dimmable light) with Spotify playback functions, via MQTT messages. This isn't likely to work without some tinkering, but should be a good head start on receiving/routing IOT/MQTT messages and hooking up to a Spotify-like API. Requirements An IOT device capable of generating events that can be delivered as MQTT messages through an MQTT Broker e.g. Ikea Strybar remote An MQTT Broker to which n8n can connect and consume messages e.g. Zigbee2MQTT in HomeAssistant A Spotify developer-account (which provides access to API functions via OAuth2 authorization) A Spotify user-account (which provides access to Spotify streamed content, user settings, etc.) Setup Create an MQTT Credential item in n8n and assign it to the MQTT Trigger node Modify the MQTT trigger node to match the topic for your IOT device messages Modify the switch/router nodes to map to the message text from your IOT button (e.g. arrow_left_click, brightness_up_click, etc.) Create a Spotify developer-account (or use the login for a user-account) Create an "App" in the developer-account to represent the n8n workflow Chicken/Egg ALERT: The n8n Spotify Credentials dialog box will display the "OAuth Redirect URL" required to create the App in Spotify, but the n8n Credential item itself cannot be created until AFTER the App has been created. Create a Spotify Credentials item in n8n Open the Settings on the Spotify App to find the required Client ID and Client Secret information. ALERT: Save this before proceeding to the Connect step. Connect the n8n Spotify Credential item to the Spotify user-account ALERT: Expect n8n to open a separate OAuth2 window on authorization.spotify.com here, which may require a login to the Spotify user-account Open each of the HTTP and Spotify nodes, one by one, and re-assign to your Spotify Credential (try not to miss any). (Then, probably, upvote this feature request: https://community.n8n.io/t/select-credentials-via-expression/5150 Modify the variable values in the Globals node to match your own environment. target_spotify_playback_device_name - The name of a playback device available to the Spotify user-account favorite_playlist_name - The name of a playlist to start when one of the button actions is indicated in the MQTT message. Used in example "Custom Function 2" sequence. Notes You're on your own for getting the multi-button remote switch talking to MQTT, figuring out what the exact MQTT topic name is, and mapping the message parts to the workflow (actions, etc.). The next / previous actions are wired up to not transfer control to the target device. This alternative routing just illustrates a different behavior than the remaining actions/functions, which include activation of the target device when required. Some of the Spotify API interactions use the Spotify node in n8n, but many of the available Spotify API functions are limited or not implemented at all in the Spotify node. So, in other cases, a regular HTTP node is used with the Spotify OAuth2 API credential instead. By modifying one of the examples included in the template, it should be possible to call nearly anything the Spotify API has to offer. Spotify+n8n OAuth Mini-Tutorial Definitions The developer-account is the Spotify login for creating a spotify-app which will be associated with a client id and client secret. The user-account is the Spotify login that has permission to stream songs, set up playback devices, etc. ++A spotify-login allows access to a Spotify user-account, or a Spotify developer-account, OR BOTH++ The spotify-app, which has a client id and client secret, is an object created in the developer-account. The app-implementation (in this case, an ++n8n workflow++) uses the spotify-app's credentials (client id / client secret) to call Spotify API endpoints on behalf of a user-account. Using One Spotify Login as Both User and Developer When an n8n Spotify-node or HTTP-node (i.e. an app-implementation) calls a Spotify API endpoint, the Credentials item may be using the client id and client secret from a spotify-app, which was created in a developer-account that is ++one and the same spotify-login as the user-account++. However, it helps to remind yourself that from the Spotify API server's perspective, the developer-account + spotify-app, and the user-account, are ++two independent entities++. n8n Spotify-OAuth2-API Credential Authorization Process The 2 layers/steps, in the process of authorizing an n8n Spotify-OAuth2-API credential to make API calls, are: n8n must identify itself to Spotify as the app-implementation associated with the developer-account/spotify-app by sending the app's credentials (client id and client secret) to Spotify. The Client ID and Client Secret are supplied in the n8n Spotify OAuth2 Credentials UI/dialog-box Separately, n8n must obtain an authorization token from Spotify to represent the permissions granted by the user to execute actions (call API endpoints) on behalf of the user (i.e. access things that belong to the user-account). This authorization for the user-account access is obtained when the "Connect" or "Reconnect" button is clicked in the n8n Spotify Credentials UI/dialog-box (which pops up a separate authorization UI/browser-window managed by Spotify). The Authorization for a given spotify-app stays "registered" in the user-account until revoked. See: https://support.spotify.com/us/article/spotify-on-other-apps/ Direct Link: https://www.spotify.com/account/apps/ More than one user-account can be authorized for a given spotify-app. A particular n8n Spotify-OAuth2-API credential item appears to cache an authorization token for the user-account that was most recently authorized. Up to 25 users can be allowed access to a spotify-app in Developer-Mode, but any user-account other than the one associated with the developer-account must be added by email address at https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/{{app-credential-id}}/users ALERT: IF the browser running the n8n UI is ALSO logged into a Spotify account, and the spotify-app is already authorized for that Spotify account, the "reconnect" button in the Spotify-OAuth2-API credential dialog may automatically grab a token for that logged in user-account, offering no opportunity to select a different user-account. This can be managed somewhat by using "incognito" browser windows for n8n, Spotify, or both. References n8n Spotify Credentials Docs Spotify Authorization Docs

Instructions This automation streamlines the process of collecting user information using a Form Node, enabling individuals to join a waitlist managed via Google Sheets. It also generates a verification code, prompting users to input this code in the Second Form Step. If the code is _nvalid, the workflow keeps the user in a verification loop until a valid code is entered. Once a valid code is provided, the workflow proceeds to the final step, where additional information can be collected. All entered data and intermediate states are securely stored in the Google Sheet. Structure of the GoogleSheet Firstname | Lastname | Email | Company | Verification-Code | Verified | Intended Use Marcel | Claus-Ahrens | foo[at]bar| foobar | abc123 | TRUE | Just testing Setup Set Up a Google Sheet: Create a Google Sheet with the specified columns, or customize them to suit your needs.
