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.
By Jimleuk🎓 Learn JSON basics with an interactive step-by-step tutorial for beginners
How it works This workflow is an interactive, hands-on tutorial designed to teach you the absolute basics of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and, more importantly, how to use it within n8n. It's perfect for beginners who are new to automation and data structures. The tutorial is structured as a series of simple steps. Each node introduces a new, fundamental concept of JSON: Key/Value Pairs: The basic building block of all JSON. Data Types: It then walks you through the most common data types one by one: String (text) Number (integers and decimals) Boolean (true or false) Null (representing "nothing") Array (an ordered list of items) Object (a collection of key/value pairs) Using JSON with Expressions: The most important step! It shows you how to dynamically pull data from a previous node into a new one using n8n's expressions ({{ }}). Final Exam: A final node puts everything together, building a complete JSON object by referencing data from all the previous steps. Each node has a detailed sticky note explaining the concept in simple terms. Set up steps Setup time: 0 minutes! This is a tutorial workflow, so there is no setup required. Simply click the "Execute Workflow" button to run it. Follow the instructions in the main sticky note: click on each node in order, from top to bottom. For each node, observe the output in the right-hand panel and read the sticky note next to it to understand what you're seeing. By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of what JSON is and how to work with it in your own n8n workflows.
By Lucas PeyrinRespond to WhatsApp messages with AI like a pro!
This n8n template demonstrates the beginnings of building your own n8n-powered WhatsApp chatbot! Under the hood, utilise n8n's powerful AI features to handle different message types and use an AI agent to respond to the user. A powerful tool for any use-case! How it works Incoming WhatsApp Trigger provides a way to get messages into the workflow. The message received is extracted and sent through 1 of 4 branches for processing. Each processing branch uses AI to analyse, summarize or transcribe the message so that the AI agent can understand it. The supported types are text, image, audio (voice notes) and video. The AI Agent is used to generate a response generally and uses a wikipedia tool for more complex queries. Finally, the response message is sent back to the WhatsApp user using the WhatsApp node. How to use Once you have setup and configured your WhatsApp account, you'll need to activate your workflow to start processing messages. Good to know: Large media files may negatively impact workflow performance. Requirements WhatsApp Buisness account Google Gemini for LLM. Gemini is used specifically because it can accept audio and video files whereas at time of writing, many other providers like OpenAI's GPT, do not. Customising this workflow For performance reasons, consider detecting large audio and video before sending to the LLM. Pre-processing such files may allow your agent to perform better. Go beyond and create rich and engagement customer experiences by responding using images, audio and video instead of just text!

By Billy ChristiSend a ChatGPT email reply and save responses to Google Sheets
This workflow sends a OpenAI GPT reply when an email is received from specific email recipients. It then saves the initial email and the GPT response to an automatically generated Google spreadsheet. Subsequent GPT responses will be added to the same spreadsheet. Additionally, when feedback is given for any of the GPT responses, it will be recorded to the spreasheet, which can then be used later to fine-tune the GPT model. Prerequisites OpenAI credentials Google credentials How it works This workflow is essentially a two-in-one workflow. It triggers off from two different nodes and have very different functionality from each trigger. The flow triggered from On email received node is as follows: Triggers off on the On email received node. Extract the email body from the email. Generate a response from the email body using the OpenAI node. Reply to the email sender using the Send reply to recipient node. A feedback link is also included in the email body which will trigger the On feedback given node. This is used to fine-tune the GPT model. Save the email body and OpenAI response to a Google Sheet. If a sheet does not exist, it will be created. The flow triggered from On feedback given node is as follows: Triggers off when a feedback link is clicked in the emailed GPT response. The feedback, either positive or negative, for that specific GPT response is then recorded to the Google Sheet.
