Workflow Templates

This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. **This n8n template automates candidate outreach, call transcription, and structured feedback capture for HR teams and recruiters. It triggers on a new candidate row added in a Google Sheet, initiates a call using Vapi.ai, processes the transcript using Google Gemini, extracts key information like CTC, experience, and notice period, and then updates the same Google Sheet with parsed insights. This is ideal for recruiters or HR teams conducting high-volume candidate outreach and wanting to scale initial data collection using automated voice bots and AI transcription analysis.** How it works Trigger: Listens for new rows added to a Google Sheet (e.g., a new candidate lead). Call Initiation: Uses Vapi.ai to make a phone call to the candidate using an assistant bot. Transcript Retrieval: After the call, fetches the conversation transcript from the Vapi API. AI Transcript Analysis: Google Gemini parses the transcript and extracts structured fields like: Work experience Current & expected CTC Notice period & negotiability Work preferences and location Data Mapping: Extracted insights are mapped to structured JSON fields. Google Sheet Update: The same row in the source Sheet is updated with the collected information. Use Cases Pre-screening calls for job applicants Collecting missing candidate information asynchronously Replacing manual HR data entry with AI-powered automation Smart CRM updates from voice interactions Requirements Before you run this workflow, ensure the following: ✅ Google account with access to Google Sheets API ✅ Vapi.ai account with: Assistant ID Phone number ID Active API key ✅ Google Gemini API (via PaLM) enabled ✅ n8n version 1.40.0 or later with relevant credentials configured How to use Import the workflow into n8n. Set up your credentials for: Google Sheets Trigger Google Sheets Vapi.ai (add Bearer token) Google Gemini Replace the placeholder values in: Assistant ID Phone number ID Google Sheet ID and tab Start the workflow and add a row to the Google Sheet. Wait for the automated call and let the AI extract and populate the data. Customising this workflow Replace Google Gemini with OpenAI or Claude if preferred. Add sentiment analysis on the transcript using an LLM. Modify the Sheet column structure to add additional fields. Add a filter node to skip candidates with incomplete phone numbers. Use a Webhook trigger instead of Google Sheets to integrate with job portals or ATS.

This workflow demonstrates a simple way to run evals on a set of test cases stored in a Google Sheet. The example we are using comes from an info extraction task dataset, where we tested 6 different LLMs on 18 different test cases. You can see our sample data in this spreadsheet here to get started. Once you have this working for our dataset, you can plug in your own test cases matching different LLMs to see how it works with your own data. How it works: It loads test cases from Google Sheets. For each row in our Google Sheet, it grabs the source document, converting it to text. Our "LLM judge" passes the input/output of each LLM to GPT-4.1 to evaluate each test case (Pass/Fail + Reason). It logs the outcome to a Google Sheet. A 0.5s pause between each request gets around OpenAI's API rate limits. Set up steps: Add your credentials for Google Sheets, Google Drive, and OpenRouter. Make a copy of the original data spreadsheet so that you can edit it yourself. You will need to plug your version in the Update Results node to see the spreadsheet update on each run of the loop.

This template is for Self-Hosted N8N Instances only. This n8n demonstrates how to build a simple SQLite MCP server to perform local database operations as well as use it for Business Intelligence. This MCP example is based off an official MCP reference implementation which can be found here -https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/sqlite How it works A MCP server trigger is used and connected to 5 tools: 2 Code Node and 3 Custom Workflow. The 2 Code Node tools use the SQLLite3 library and are simple read-only queries and as such, the Code Node tool can be simply used. The 3 custom workflow tools are used for select, insert and update queries as these are operations which require a bit more discretion. Whilst it may be easier to allow the agent to use raw SQL queries, we may find it a little safer to just allow for the parameters instead. The custom workflow tool allows us to define this restricted schema for tool input which we'll use to construct the SQL statement ourselves. All 3 custom workflow tools trigger the same "Execute workflow" trigger in this very template which has a switch to route the operation to the correct handler. Finally, we use our Code nodes to handle select, insert and update operations. The responses are then sent back to the the MCP client. How to use This SQLite MCP server allows any compatible MCP client to manage a SQLite database by supporting select, create and update operations. You will need to have a SQLite database available before you can use this server. Connect your MCP client by following the n8n guidelines here - https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.mcptrigger/#integrating-with-claude-desktop Try the following queries in your MCP client: "Please create a table to store business insights and add the following..." "what business insights do we have on current retail trends?" "Who has contributed the most business insights in the past week?" Requirements SQLite for database. MCP Client or Agent for usage such as Claude Desktop - https://claude.ai/download Customising this workflow If the scope of schemas or tables is too open, try restrict it so the MCP serves a specific purpose for business operations. eg. Confine the querying and editing to HR only tables before providing access to people in that department. Remember to set the MCP server to require credentials before going to production and sharing this MCP server with others!

This n8n demonstrates how to build your own Github MCP server to personalise it to your organisation's repositories, issues and pull requests. This n8n implementation, though not as fully featured as the official MCP server offered by Github, allows you to control precisely what access and/or functionality is granted to users which can make MCP use simpler and in some cases, more secure. The use-case in this template is to simply view and comment on issues within a specific repository but can be extended to meet the needs of your team. This MCP example is based off an official MCP reference implementation which can be found here https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/github How it works A MCP server trigger is used and connected to 3 custom workflow tools. We're using custom workflow tools as there is quite a few nodes required for each task. Behind these tools are regular Github nodes although preconfigured with credentials and targeted repository. The "Get Issue Comments" and "Create Issue Comment" tools depend on obtaining an Issue Number first. The agent should call the "Get Latest Issues" tool for this. How to use This Github MCP server allows any compatible MCP client to view and comment on Github Issues. You will need to have a Github account and repository access available before you can use this server. Connect your MCP client by following the n8n guidelines here - https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/core-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.mcptrigger/#integrating-with-claude-desktop Try the following queries in your MCP client: "Can you get me the latest issues about MCP?" "What is the current progress on Issue 12345?" "Please can you add a comment to Issue 12345 that they should try installing the latest version and see if that works?" Requirements Github for account and repository access. The repository need not be your own but you'll still need to ensure you have the correct permissions. MCP Client or Agent for usage such as Claude Desktop - https://claude.ai/download Customising this workflow Extend this template to interactive with pull requests or workflows within your own company's Github repositories. Alternatively, pull in metrics and generate reports for programme managers. Remember to set the MCP server to require credentials before going to production and sharing this MCP server with others!

How the sequence works: A "Schedule Trigger" node activates the automation at a defined schedule. An "Airtable" node will search for previously posted questions in your question database. Airtable Base Template: here An "Aggregate" node will take all the questions from Airtable and compress them to a single output. ChatGPT, or a model of your choice, will generate a discussion question based on the options in the system prompt. The discussion question will be posted to the subreddit of your choice by the "Reddit" node. You can choose between a text, image, or link post! The recently-posted discussion question will then be uploaded to your Airtable base using the "Airtable" node. This will be used to prevent ChatGPT from creating duplicate questions. Setup Steps The setup process will take about 5 minutes. An Airtable base template is also pre-made for you here: https://airtable.com/app6wzQqegKIJOiOg/shrzy7L9yv8BFRQdY Set the recurrence in the "Schedule" node Create an Airtable account, you can use the link here. Get an Airtable personal access token here. Configure the "Get Previous Discussions" Airtable node. Configure the options in brackets in the "Generate New Discussion" node. Set the desired subreddit to post to and the post type(text, image, or link) in the "Post Discussion" node. Configure the "Create Archived Discussion" node to map to the Airtable base(required) and specific subreddit(optional).

This n8n workflow demonstrates how to create a really simple yet effective customer support channel and pipeline by combining Slack, Linear and AI tools. Built on n8n's ability to integrate anything, this workflow is intended for small support teams who want to maximise re-use of the tools they already have with an interface which is doesn't require any onboarding. Read the blog post here: https://blog.n8n.io/automated-customer-support-tickets-with-n8n-slack-linear-and-ai/ How it works The workflow is connected to a slack channel setup with the customer to capture support issues. Only messages which are tagged with a "✅" reaction are captured by the workflow. Messages are tagged by the support team in the channel. Each captured support issue is sent to the AI model to classify, prioritise and rewrite into a support ticket. The generated support ticket is uploaded to Linear for the support team to investigate and track. Support team is able to report back to the user via the channel when issue is fixed. Requirements Slack channel to be monitored Linear account and project Customising this workflow Don't have Linear? This workflow can work just as well with traditional ticketing systems like JIRA.

This template provides a fully automated system for monitoring news on any topic you choose. It leverages Linkup's AI-powered web search to find recent, relevant articles, extracts key information like the title, date, and summary, and then neatly organizes everything in an Airtable base. Stop manually searching for updates and let this workflow deliver a curated news digest directly to your own database, complete with a Slack notification to let you know when it's done. This is the perfect solution for staying informed without the repetitive work. Who is this for? Marketing & PR professionals:** Keep a close eye on industry trends, competitor mentions, and brand sentiment. Analysts & researchers:** Effortlessly gather source material and data points on specific research topics. Business owners & entrepreneurs:** Stay updated on market shifts, new technologies, and potential opportunities without dedicating hours to reading.

Keeps you proactively informed:** The automated Slack notification ensures you know exactly when new information is ready, closing the loop on your monitoring process. How it works Schedule: The workflow runs automatically based on a schedule you set (the default is weekly). Define topics: In the Set news parameters node, you specify the topics you want to monitor and the time frame (e.g., news from the last 7 days). AI web search: The Query Linkup for news node sends your topics to Linkup's API. Linkup's AI searches the web for relevant news articles and returns a structured list containing each article's title, URL, summary, and publication date. Store in Airtable: The workflow loops through each article found and creates a new record for it in your Airtable base. Notify on Slack: Once all the news has been stored, a final notification is sent to a Slack channel of your choice, letting you know the process is complete and how many articles were found. Setup Configure the trigger: Adjust the Schedule Trigger node to set the frequency and time you want the workflow to run. Set your topics: In the Set news parameters node, replace the example topics with your own keywords and define the news freshness that you'd like to set. Connect your accounts: Linkup: Add your Linkup API key in the Query Linkup for news node. Linkup's free plan includes €5 of credits monthly, enough for about 1,000 runs of this workflow. Airtable: In the Store one news node, select your Airtable account, then choose the Base and Table where you want to save the news. Slack: In the Notify in Slack node, select your Slack account and the channel where you want to receive notifications. Activate the workflow: Toggle the workflow to "Active", and your automated news monitoring system is live! Taking it further Change your database:* Don't use Airtable? Easily swap the *Airtable* node for a *Notion, **Google Sheets, or any other database node to store your news. Customize notifications:* Replace the *Slack* node with a *Discord, **Telegram, or Email node to get alerts on your preferred platform. Add AI analysis:** Insert an AI node after the Linkup search to perform sentiment analysis on the news summaries, categorize articles, or generate a high-level overview before saving them.

Who is this for? This workflow is for content creators, social media managers, marketing teams, and virtual assistants who want to automatically repurpose YouTube videos into ready-to-post social media content. If you need to quickly turn long-form videos into short posts for platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, this workflow saves you hours of manual work. What problem is this workflow solving? Manually extracting ideas from YouTube videos, writing captions, creating images, and preparing social media posts takes a lot of time and effort. This workflow automates the entire process: it reads the video, generates posts with captions and AI images, and organizes everything into Airtable. It lets you focus more on growing your audience instead of spending hours repurposing content. What this workflow does Watches a YouTube channel RSS feed for new videos. Extracts the video transcript automatically using Dumpling AI. Summarizes and transforms the transcript into 3 social media captions (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) using OpenAI. Generates 3 unique AI image prompts. Sends the prompts to Dumpling AI to create realistic social media images. Saves the captions and attaches the AI images into Airtable, ready for posting. Setup RSS Feed Setup Get your YouTube channel’s RSS feed URL. Insert the URL into the RSS Trigger node. This will monitor for new YouTube uploads automatically. Dumpling AI Setup for Transcript Extraction Sign up at Dumpling AI. Get your Dumpling AI API Key. In the first HTTP Request node after the RSS trigger, insert your API Key (use HTTP Header Authentication). This sends the YouTube URL to Dumpling AI’s /extract-transcript endpoint. OpenAI Setup for Caption and Prompt Generation Get your OpenAI API Key. In the OpenAI node, connect your account. The AI will: Generate 3 platform-specific captions. Generate 3 creative prompts to design images related to the video. Edit Fields Node This node organizes the generated captions and prompts into separate fields for easy Airtable mapping. Captions are split for Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Dumpling AI Setup for AI Image Generation After the Edit Fields node, the second HTTP Request node sends the image prompt to Dumpling AI’s /generate-image endpoint. This returns a realistic AI-generated image. Airtable Setup for Saving Posts (Without Image First) Create a new base in Airtable with the following fields: Platform (Single select: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) Content (Long text field) Image (Attachment field) Connect your Airtable Personal Access Token to the Airtable node. The Airtable node saves the generated captions into separate records, initially without images. Upload Generated Images Back to Airtable The third HTTP Request node PATCHES the Airtable record. It updates the Image field with the generated AI image from Dumpling AI. Credentials Required Dumpling AI API Key (for transcript extraction and AI image generation) OpenAI API Key (for caption and prompt creation) Airtable Personal Access Token (for inserting and updating records) How to customize this workflow to your needs Change the OpenAI prompt to generate captions in your brand tone (e.g., friendly, professional, witty). Modify the image prompts to match your design style better. Adjust the Airtable base fields if you want to add more platforms or content formats. Add scheduling tools like Buffer or Metricool to automatically post from Airtable. ⚡ Quick Tips Make sure Dumpling AI credits are active to allow transcript and image generation.
