Template description

This n8n workflow template automates the process of collecting and delivering the "Top Deals of the Day" from MediaMarkt, tailored to user preferences. By combining user-submitted forms, Bright Data web scraping, GPT-4o-mini deal generation, and email delivery, this workflow sends personalized product recommendations straight to a user’s inbox.

⚠️ Note: This workflow uses community nodes (Bright Data and Document Generator) which only work on self-hosted n8n instances.

🚀 What It Does

Collects user preferences via a form (categories + email)
Scrapes MediaMarkt’s deals page using Bright Data
Uses GPT-4o-mini (OpenAI) to recommend top deals
Generates a structured HTML email using a template
Sends the personalized deals directly via email

🧩 Community Node Integration

We created and used the following community nodes:

Bright Data – To scrape MediaMarkt deals using proxy-based scraping
Document Generator – To generate a templated HTML document from deal data

These nodes are not available in n8n Cloud and require self-hosted n8n.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup

Install Community Nodes
Make sure you're on a self-hosted n8n instance. Install:
- n8n-nodes-brightdata
- n8n-nodes-document-generator
Configure Credentials
- Bright Data API Key (Proxy + Scraping setup)
- OpenAI API Key (GPT-4o-mini access)
- SMTP Credentials for sending emails
Customize the Form
Adapt the form node to collect desired categories and email addresses. Typical categories include appliances, phones, laptops, etc.
Design Your HTML Template
In the Document Generator node, you can tweak the HTML/CSS to change how deals appear in the final email.
Test the Workflow
Submit the form with test data and check that the entire flow—from scraping to email—executes as expected.

🧠 How It Works: Workflow Overview

User Interaction via Form
Users select product categories and enter their email. This triggers the workflow.
Data Extraction via Bright Data

Data Structuring & Split
The result is split into individual deal items to be formatted.
HTML Document Creation
Document Generator populates a clean HTML template with the top recommended deals.
Email Delivery
The final document is emailed via SMTP to the user with a friendly message.

📨 Final Output

Building Your First WhatsApp Chatbot

This n8n template builds a simple WhatsApp chabot acting as a Sales Agent. The Agent is backed by a product catalog vector store to better answer user's questions. This template is intended to help introduce n8n users interested in building with WhatsApp. How it works This template is in 2 parts: creating the product catalog vector store and building the WhatsApp AI chatbot. A product brochure is imported via HTTP request node and its text contents extracted. The text contents are then uploaded to the in-memory vector store to build a knowledgebase for the chatbot. A WhatsApp trigger is used to capture messages from customers where non-text messages are filtered out. The customer's message is sent to the AI Agent which queries the product catalogue using the vector store tool. The Agent's response is sent back to the user via the WhatsApp node. How to use Once you've setup and configured your WhatsApp account and credentials First, populate the vector store by clicking the "Test Workflow" button. Next, activate the workflow to enable the WhatsApp chatbot. Message your designated WhatsApp number and you should receive a message from the AI sales agent. Tweak datasource and behaviour as required. Requirements WhatsApp Business Account OpenAI for LLM Customising this workflow Upgrade the vector store to Qdrant for persistance and production use-cases. Handle different WhatsApp message types for a more rich and engaging experience for customers.

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.

Telegram AI Chatbot

The workflow starts by listening for messages from Telegram users. The message is then processed, and based on its content, different actions are taken. If it's a regular chat message, the workflow generates a response using the OpenAI API and sends it back to the user. If it's a command to create an image, the workflow generates an image using the OpenAI API and sends the image to the user. If the command is unsupported, an error message is sent. Throughout the workflow, there are additional nodes for displaying notes and simulating typing actions.
