Workflow Templates

This template is for self-hosted n8n instances only. This n8n demonstrates how to build a simple FileSystem MCP server. Connecting to this server allows MCP clients and agents to list, read and create directories and files on the local machine or remote server. This MCP example is based off an official MCP reference implementation which can be found here -https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers/tree/main/src/filesystem How it works A MCP server trigger is used and connected to 5 tools: 3 Execute Command tools and 2 custom workflow tools. The 3 Execute Command tools allow for listing, searching and creating directories. The 2 custom workflow tools are for reading and writing files to disk. Special care has been to not allow the MCP agent to execute arbitrary linux commands on the target server. This is achieved by only allowing the agent to provide parameters such as filenames and paths rather than raw commands. How to use This Filesystem MCP server will write to the server which hosts the n8n instance - this can be your local machine or a remove server. If your target filesystem is on neither, then modify the commands to connect to the desired 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 help me list all folders under the project directory." "Help me create a bash script to send a notification to Slack." "Search for the log file on the 22nd April and read its contents. What was the cause of the outage?" Requirements Linux file system for this example template. Feel free to modify if working on Windows. MCP Client or Agent for usage such as Claude Desktop - https://claude.ai/download Customising this workflow Implement the moving and renaming of files by adding more custom workflow tools to the MCP server. Remember to set the MCP server to require credentials before going to production and sharing this MCP server with others!

Boost engagement on your Discord server by automatically sharing new YouTube videos along with AI generated summaries of their content. This workflow is ideal for content creators and community managers looking to provide value and spark interest through summarized content, making it easier for community members to decide if a video is of interest to them. Watch this video tutorial to learn more about the template. How it works RSS Feed Trigger**: Monitors your YouTube channel for new uploads using the RSS feed. Video Captions Retrieval**: Fetches video captions using the YouTube API to get detailed content data. AI Summary Generation**: Uses an AI model to generate concise summaries from the video captions, highlighting key points. Discord Notification**: Posts video announcements along with their AI generated summaries to a specified Discord channel using a webhook. Set up steps Configure YouTube RSS Feed: Set up the RSS feed node to detect new video uploads. Add your YouTube channel ID to the URL in the first node: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=YOUR_CHANNEL_ID. Connect OpenAI Account: To enable AI summary generation, connect your OpenAI account in n8n. Set Up Discord Webhook: Create a webhook in your Discord server and configure it in the Discord node. Design the Message: Format the Discord message as you like to include the video title, link, and the AI generated summary. Example This template empowers you to maintain a highly engaging Discord community, ensuring members receive not only regular updates but also valuable insights into each video's content without needing to watch immediately.

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.

This n8n workflow captures Partnerstack events via a webhook, logs the event data into a Google Sheet, and sends a Telegram notification. How it Works: Webhook Node (Trigger): Listens for incoming POST requests. When an event occurs in Partnerstack (e.g., a new referral signs up), the workflow is triggered, capturing the event data. Append Row in Sheets Node: Takes the received Partnerstack event data and appends it as a new row to a designated Google Sheet. This creates a historical log of all captured events. Set Chat ID Node: Defines the specific Telegram chat ID where notifications will be sent. Send Notification Node (Telegram): Sends a message to the specified Telegram chat. The message content includes details from the Partnerstack event, providing real-time alerts. Setup Requirements: Partnerstack Postback: Configure a postback in Partnerstack (My account > Postbacks > Create a postback). Paste the URL provided by n8n's **Webhook node. Select the Partnerstack events you wish to track. Google Sheets Authentication**: Provide n8n with Google credentials that have write access to your target Google Sheet. Specify the sheet name. Telegram Integration**: You'll need a Telegram bot token (from BotFather) and the specific chat ID for the destination Telegram chat/channel. Additional Notes: This workflow efficiently automates logging of Partnerstack activities and provides immediate team awareness through Telegram notifications, streamlining event monitoring and response. 👉 Need Help?
