Analyze sales call objections with Fireflies transcripts, GPT-4o, and Slack feedback
How it works
When a meeting ends in Fireflies, the transcript is automatically retrieved and sent to OpenAI for analysis. The AI evaluates objection handling, call effectiveness, and extracts key objections raised during the conversation. It then generates specific objection handlers for future calls. The analysis is formatted into a structured report and sent to both Slack for immediate visibility and Google Drive for centralized storage.
Set up steps
Prerequisites:
- Fireflies account with API access
- OpenAI API key
- Slack workspace
- Google Drive connected to n8n
Configuration:
- Connect Fireflies webhook to trigger on meeting completion
- Add OpenAI API key in the AI analysis nodes
- Configure Slack channel destination for feedback delivery
- Set Google Drive folder path for report storage
- Adjust AI prompts in sticky notes to match your objection categories and sales methodology
Analyze Sales Call Objections with Fireflies Transcripts, GPT-4o, and Slack Feedback
This n8n workflow automates the analysis of sales call transcripts (presumably from Fireflies.ai or a similar service) to identify common objections, leverages GPT-4o for intelligent analysis, and facilitates feedback via Slack. It's designed to help sales teams quickly understand and address customer objections.
What it does
- Receives Transcript Data: The workflow is triggered by an incoming webhook, expecting sales call transcript data.
- Extracts Transcript Text: It makes an HTTP request to fetch the actual transcript content from a provided URL.
- Prepares Data for AI: The raw transcript is then processed to extract relevant text, making it suitable for AI analysis.
- Analyzes with AI Agent (GPT-4o): An AI agent, powered by an OpenAI Chat Model (likely GPT-4o given the directory name context), analyzes the transcript to identify and categorize sales objections. It uses a structured output parser to ensure the results are in a usable format.
- Posts to Slack for Feedback: The identified objections and their analysis are posted to a designated Slack channel, allowing sales managers or team members to review and provide feedback.
- Optional Google Drive Integration: There's a Google Drive node, which, while not directly connected in the provided JSON, suggests a potential for storing transcripts or analysis results.
- Includes a Wait Step: A
Waitnode is present, which could be used to introduce a delay in the workflow, for example, to allow time for external processing or to manage API rate limits.
Prerequisites/Requirements
- n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
- Webhook Source: An external system (e.g., Fireflies.ai, a CRM, or a custom application) configured to send sales call transcript data to the n8n webhook.
- OpenAI API Key: Credentials for an OpenAI account with access to GPT-4o or a similar large language model.
- Slack Account & API Token: A Slack workspace and an API token (or bot token) configured with appropriate permissions to post messages to channels.
- Google Drive Account (Optional): If the Google Drive node is intended to be used, a Google Drive credential will be needed.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
- Configure Webhook:
- Activate the "Webhook" trigger node.
- Copy the generated webhook URL. This URL will be used by your external system to send transcript data.
- Configure Credentials:
- OpenAI Chat Model: Configure your OpenAI API key credential for the "OpenAI Chat Model" node.
- Slack: Configure your Slack API token credential for the "Slack" node, specifying the channel where you want the analysis to be posted.
- Google Drive (Optional): If using the Google Drive node, configure your Google Drive credential.
- Customize AI Agent: Review and adjust the prompt and settings within the "AI Agent" and "Structured Output Parser" nodes to fine-tune the objection analysis according to your specific needs.
- Activate the Workflow: Once all credentials and configurations are set, activate the workflow.
The workflow will now automatically process incoming sales call transcript data, analyze it for objections using AI, and notify your team on Slack.

AI-powered code review with linting, red-marked corrections in Google Sheets & Slack
Advanced Code Review Automation (AI + Lint + Slack) Who’s it for For software engineers, QA teams, and tech leads who want to automate intelligent code reviews with both AI-driven suggestions and rule-based linting — all managed in Google Sheets with instant Slack summaries. How it works This workflow performs a two-layer review system: Lint Check: Runs a lightweight static analysis to find common issues (e.g., use of var, console.log, unbalanced braces). AI Review: Sends valid code to Gemini AI, which provides human-like review feedback with severity classification (Critical, Major, Minor) and visual highlights (red/orange tags). Formatter: Combines lint and AI results, calculating an overall score (0–10). Aggregator: Summarizes results for quick comparison. Google Sheets Writer: Appends results to your review log. Slack Notification: Posts a concise summary (e.g., number of issues and average score) to your team’s channel. How to set up Connect Google Sheets and Slack credentials in n8n. Replace placeholders (<YOURSPREADSHEETID>, <YOURSHEETGIDORNAME>, <YOURSLACKCHANNEL_ID>). Adjust the AI review prompt or lint rules as needed. Activate the workflow — reviews will start automatically whenever new code is added to the sheet. Requirements Google Sheets and Slack integrations enabled A configured AI node (Gemini, OpenAI, or compatible) Proper permissions to write to your target Google Sheet How to customize Add more linting rules (naming conventions, spacing, forbidden APIs) Extend the AI prompt for project-specific guidelines Customize the Slack message formatting Export analytics to a dashboard (e.g., Notion or Data Studio) Why it’s valuable This workflow brings realistic, team-oriented AI-assisted code review to n8n — combining the speed of automated linting with the nuance of human-style feedback. It saves time, improves code quality, and keeps your team’s review history transparent and centralized.
