Magento maintenance via natural language with GPT and Telegram/WhatsApp
The Magento 2 Smart Maintenance AI Agent revolutionises how you interact with your store’s backend — allowing you to safely run critical maintenance and cache operations using plain natural language via Telegram or WhatsApp.
❗ The Problem
- Magento store issues never wait for office hours.
- Caches fill up, indexes break, or maintenance mode gets stuck — usually late at night, during weekends, or right before a campaign launch.
- Most store owners can’t fix these on their own and must wait for a developer or agency response, causing lost sales, downtime, and stress.
💡 The Solution
The Magento 2 Smart Maintenance AI Agent acts as your personal, always-on rescue assistant.
It turns your Telegram or WhatsApp chat into a command center — where you can say:
“Please clear cache” “Disable maintenance mode” “Reindex catalog search” and instantly receive the correct, safe Magento CLI command.
No SSH logins, no technical knowledge, no risk and no long wait chasing developer team.
It’s your Magento First-Aid Kit — ready anytime, anywhere — that never runs dangerous commands like setup:upgrade or deploy.
More messages like:
“please clear full page cache” “reindex catalog search” “enable maintenance mode” “check if my site is under maintenance”
and this AI-driven n8n workflow will instantly translate it into the correct and safe bin/magento command, while automatically blocking any risky operations (like setup or deployment).
This template empowers developers, agencies, and support teams to manage Magento stores from anywhere — safely, intelligently, and conversationally.
🔍 What It Does:
- Interprets natural language into Magento CLI commands
- Supports Telegram and WhatsApp message interfaces
- Automatically identifies parameters like cache type or indexer name
- “Clear full page cache” → bin/magento cache:clean full_page
- “Reindex catalog search” → bin/magento indexer:reindex catalogsearch_fulltext
- Detects unsafe commands (like setup:upgrade) and returns a warning message
- Provides fully formatted, Telegram-safe output (no entity parsing errors)
- Can be integrated with Execute Command, SSH, or Magento APIs for real automation

Magento Maintenance via Natural Language with GPT and Telegram/WhatsApp
This n8n workflow empowers users to perform Magento maintenance tasks using natural language commands, facilitated by OpenAI's GPT and communicated through Telegram or WhatsApp. It acts as an intelligent assistant, interpreting user requests and executing corresponding SSH commands on a Magento server.
What it does
This workflow streamlines Magento server management by:
- Listening for Commands: It continuously monitors incoming messages from either Telegram or WhatsApp.
- Identifying Communication Channel: Determines whether the message originated from Telegram or WhatsApp.
- Processing Natural Language: Sends the user's message to an OpenAI Chat Model (GPT) to interpret the intent and extract relevant commands.
- Executing SSH Commands: If the AI identifies a valid Magento maintenance command (e.g.,
php bin/magento cache:clean), it executes this command via SSH on the configured server. - Responding to User: Sends the output of the SSH command or an appropriate message back to the user via their original communication channel (Telegram or WhatsApp).
- Handling Unknown Commands: If the AI cannot interpret the command or if it's not a recognized maintenance task, it informs the user that the command is not understood or supported.
Prerequisites/Requirements
To set up and run this workflow, you will need:
- n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
- Telegram Bot Token: A Telegram bot configured and its API token.
- WhatsApp Business Cloud API: A WhatsApp Business Cloud account configured with a phone number and API access.
- OpenAI API Key: An API key for OpenAI (GPT model).
- SSH Credentials: SSH access details (host, username, private key/password) for your Magento server.
Setup/Usage
- Import the workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- Telegram Trigger & Telegram Node: Set up your Telegram bot credentials.

Automated UGC video generator with Gemini images and SORA 2
This workflow automates the creation of user-generated-content-style product videos by combining Gemini's image generation with OpenAI's SORA 2 video generation. It accepts webhook requests with product descriptions, generates images and videos, stores them in Google Drive, and logs all outputs to Google Sheets for easy tracking. Main Use Cases Automate product video creation for e-commerce catalogs and social media. Generate UGC-style content at scale without manual design work. Create engaging video content from simple text prompts for marketing campaigns. Build a centralized library of product videos with automated tracking and storage. How it works The workflow operates as a webhook-triggered process, organized into these stages: Webhook Trigger & Input Accepts POST requests to the /create-ugc-video endpoint. Required payload includes: product prompt, video prompt, Gemini API key, and OpenAI API key. Image Generation (Gemini) Sends the product prompt to Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash Image model. Generates a product image based on the description provided. Data Extraction Code node extracts the base64 image data from Gemini's response. Preserves all prompts and API keys for subsequent steps. Video Generation (SORA 2) Sends the video prompt to OpenAI's SORA 2 API. Initiates video generation with specifications: 720x1280 resolution, 8 seconds duration. Returns a video generation job ID for polling. Video Status Polling Continuously checks video generation status via OpenAI API. If status is "completed": proceeds to download. If status is still processing: waits 1 minute and retries (polling loop). Video Download & Storage Downloads the completed video file from OpenAI. Uploads the MP4 file to Google Drive (root folder). Generates a shareable Google Drive link. Logging to Google Sheets Records all generation details in a tracking spreadsheet: Product description Video URL (Google Drive link) Generation status Timestamp Summary Flow: Webhook Request → Generate Product Image (Gemini) → Extract Image Data → Generate Video (SORA 2) → Poll Status → If Complete: Download Video → Upload to Google Drive → Log to Google Sheets → Return Response If Not Complete: Wait 1 Minute → Poll Status Again Benefits: Fully automated video creation pipeline from text to finished product. Scalable solution for generating multiple product videos on demand. Combines cutting-edge AI models (Gemini + SORA 2) for high-quality output. Centralized storage in Google Drive with automatic logging in Google Sheets. Flexible webhook interface allows integration with any application or service. Retry mechanism ensures videos are captured even with longer processing times. --- Created by Daniel Shashko
