Template description

This n8n workflow demonstrates a simple approach to improve chat UX by staggering an AI Agent's reply for users who send in a sequence of partial messages and in short bursts.

How it works

  • Twilio webhook receives user's messages which are recorded in a message stack powered by Redis.
  • The execution is immediately paused for 5 seconds and then another check is done against the message stack for the latest message.
  • The purpose of this check lets use know if the user is sending more messages or if they are waiting for a reply.
  • The execution is aborted if the latest message on the stack differs from the incoming message and continues if they are the same.
  • For the latter, the agent receives the buffered messages up to that point and is able to respond to them in a single reply.

Requirements

  • A Twilio account and SMS-enabled phone number to receive messages.
  • Redis instance for the messages stack.
  • OpenAI account for the language model.

Customising the workflow

This workflow should work for other common messaging platforms such as Whatsapp and Telegram.

5 seconds too long or too short? Adjust the wait threshold to suit your customers.

Advanced Telegram Bot, Ticketing System, LiveChat, User Management, Broadcasting

A robust n8n workflow designed to enhance Telegram bot functionality for user management and broadcasting. It facilitates automatic support ticket creation, efficient user data storage in Redis, and a sophisticated system for message forwarding and broadcasting. How It Works Telegram Bot Setup: Initiate the workflow with a Telegram bot configured for handling different chat types (private, supergroup, channel). User Data Management: Formats and updates user data, storing it in a Redis database for efficient retrieval and management. Support Ticket Creation: Automatically generates chat tickets for user messages and saves the corresponding topic IDs in Redis. Message Forwarding: Forwards new messages to the appropriate chat thread, or creates a new thread if none exists. Support Forum Management: Handles messages within a support forum, differentiating between various chat types and user statuses. Broadcasting System: Implements a broadcasting mechanism that sends channel posts to all previous bot users, with a system to filter out blocked users. Blocked User Management: Identifies and manages blocked users, preventing them from receiving broadcasted messages. Versatile Channel Handling: Ensures that messages from verified channels are properly managed and broadcasted to relevant users. Set Up Steps Estimated Time**: Around 30 minutes. Requirements**: A Telegram bot, a Redis database, and Telegram group/channel IDs are necessary. Configuration**: Input the Telegram bot token and relevant group/channel IDs. Configure message handling and user data processing according to your needs. Detailed Instructions**: Sticky notes within the workflow provide extensive setup information and guidance.

Actioning Your Meeting Next Steps using Transcripts and AI

This n8n workflow demonstrates how you can summarise and automate post-meeting actions from video transcripts fed into an AI Agent. Save time between meetings by allowing AI handle the chores of organising follow-up meetings and invites. How it works This workflow scans for the calendar for client or team meetings which were held online. * Attempts will be made to fetch any recorded transcripts which are then sent to the AI agent. The AI agent summarises and identifies if any follow-on meetings are required. If found, the Agent will use its Calendar Tool to to create the event for the time, date and place for the next meeting as well as add known attendees. Requirements Google Calendar and the ability to fetch Meeting Transcripts (There is a special OAuth permission for this action!) OpenAI account for access to the LLM. Customising the workflow This example only books follow-on meetings but could be extended to generate reports or send emails.

Notion AI Assistant Generator

This n8n workflow template lets teams easily generate a custom AI chat assistant based on the schema of any Notion database. Simply provide the Notion database URL, and the workflow downloads the schema and creates a tailored AI assistant designed to interact with that specific database structure. Set Up Watch this quick set up video 👇 Key Features Instant Assistant Generation**: Enter a Notion database URL, and the workflow produces an AI assistant configured to the database schema. Advanced Querying**: The assistant performs flexible queries, filtering records by multiple fields (e.g., tags, names). It can also search inside Notion pages to pull relevant content from specific blocks. Schema Awareness**: Understands and interacts with various Notion column types like text, dates, and tags for accurate responses. Reference Links**: Each query returns direct links to the exact Notion pages that inform the assistant’s response, promoting transparency and easy access. Self-Validation**: The workflow has logic to check the generated assistant, and if any errors are detected, it reruns the agent to fix them. Ideal for Product Managers**: Easily access and query product data across Notion databases. Support Teams**: Quickly search through knowledge bases for precise information to enhance support accuracy. Operations Teams**: Streamline access to HR, finance, or logistics data for fast, efficient retrieval. Data Teams**: Automate large dataset queries across multiple properties and records. How It Works This AI assistant leverages two HTTP request tools—one for querying the Notion database and another for retrieving data within individual pages. It’s powered by the Anthropic LLM (or can be swapped for GPT-4) and always provides reference links for added transparency.

AI agent that can scrape webpages

⚙️🛠️🚀🤖🦾 This template is a PoC of a ReAct AI Agent capable of fetching random pages (not only Wikipedia or Google search results). On the top part there's a manual chat node connected to a LangChain ReAct Agent. The agent has access to a workflow tool for getting page content. The page content extraction starts with converting query parameters into a JSON object. There are 3 pre-defined parameters: url** – an address of the page to fetch method** = full / simplified maxlimit** - maximum length for the final page. For longer pages an error message is returned back to the agent Page content fetching is a multistep process: An HTTP Request mode tries to get the page content. If the page content was successfuly retrieved, a series of post-processing begin: Extract HTML BODY; content Remove all unnecessary tags to recude the page size Further eliminate external URLs and IMG scr values (based on the method query parameter) Remaining HTML is converted to Markdown, thus recuding the page lengh even more while preserving the basic page structure The remaining content is sent back to an Agent if it's not too long (maxlimit = 70000 by default, see CONFIG node). NB: You can isolate the HTTP Request part into a separate workflow. Check the Workflow Tool description, it guides the agent to provide a query string with several parameters instead of a JSON object. Please reach out to Eduard is you need further assistance with you n8n workflows and automations! Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.
