Post Unassigned Zendesk Tickets to Slack

This n8n workflow automates the process of identifying unassigned Zendesk tickets and posting them to a designated Slack channel. This helps ensure that no tickets fall through the cracks and that your support team is promptly aware of newly created tickets requiring attention.

What it does

  1. Schedules Check: The workflow runs on a predefined schedule (e.g., every 15 minutes, hourly) to regularly check for new unassigned tickets.
  2. Fetches Unassigned Tickets: It connects to your Zendesk instance to retrieve a list of all tickets that do not currently have an assignee.
  3. Formats Ticket Information: It processes the fetched ticket data, extracting key details like ticket ID, subject, and a direct link to the ticket in Zendesk.
  4. Posts to Slack: For each unassigned ticket found, it sends a formatted message to a specified Slack channel, alerting the team to the new unassigned ticket.

Prerequisites/Requirements

  • n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
  • Zendesk Account: An active Zendesk account with API access. You will need to configure a Zendesk credential in n8n.
  • Slack Account: An active Slack account. You will need to configure a Slack credential in n8n.
  • Slack Channel ID: The ID of the Slack channel where you want to post the unassigned ticket notifications.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow:
    • Copy the provided JSON code.
    • In your n8n instance, go to "Workflows" and click "New".
    • Click the "Import from JSON" button and paste the copied JSON.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Zendesk Node (Zendesk): Edit the "Zendesk" node. Select or create a new Zendesk API credential. You'll typically need your Zendesk subdomain, email, and an API token.
    • Slack Node (Slack): Edit the "Slack" node. Select or create a new Slack API credential. This usually involves generating a Slack Bot Token with the necessary permissions (e.g., chat:write, channels:read).
  3. Configure Slack Channel:
    • In the "Slack" node, ensure the Channel field is set to the ID of the Slack channel where you want the notifications to appear. You can find the channel ID by right-clicking on the channel name in Slack and selecting "Copy Link," then extracting the ID from the URL (e.g., C1234567890).
  4. Configure Schedule (Cron):
    • Edit the "Cron" node to set your desired schedule for checking unassigned tickets. By default, it might be set to run periodically. Adjust the Mode and Value to fit your needs (e.g., Every 15 minutes, Every 1 hour).
  5. Activate the Workflow:
    • Save the workflow.
    • Toggle the workflow to "Active" in the top right corner of the n8n editor.

Once activated, the workflow will run on its schedule, fetch unassigned Zendesk tickets, and post them to your specified Slack channel.

Track meal nutrition from meal photos with LINE, Google Gemini and Google Sheets

AI Meal Nutrition Tracker with LINE and Google Sheets Who's it for This workflow is designed for health-conscious individuals, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to track their daily food intake without manual calorie counting. It is best suited for users who want a simple, AI-powered meal logging system that analyzes food photos one at a time and provides instant nutritional feedback via LINE. What it does This workflow processes a single meal photo sent via LINE, analyzes it using Google Gemini AI to identify foods and estimate nutritional content, and stores the data in Google Sheets for tracking. The workflow focuses on simplicity and encouragement: it receives a meal image, performs AI-based food recognition, estimates calories and macronutrients, calculates a health score, provides personalized advice, and replies with a detailed nutritional breakdown on LINE. How it works A single meal photo is sent to the LINE bot. The workflow is triggered via a LINE webhook. The image file is downloaded and sent to Google Gemini AI for food analysis. The AI identifies foods and estimates nutritional values (calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber). A health score (1-10) is calculated with personalized improvement tips. The data is appended to Google Sheets for meal history tracking. The image is uploaded to Google Drive for reference. A formatted nutritional report with advice is sent back as a LINE reply. This workflow is intentionally designed to handle one image per execution. Requirements To use this workflow, you will need: A LINE Messaging API account A Google Gemini API key A Google account with access to Google Sheets and Google Drive A Google Sheets document with the following column names: Date Time Meal Type Food Items Calories Protein (g) Carbs (g) Fat (g) Fiber (g) Health Score Advice Image URL Important limitations This workflow does not support multiple images sent in a single message. Sending images in quick succession may trigger multiple executions and lead to unexpected results. Only the first image in an event payload is processed. Nutritional values are AI estimates based on visual analysis and typical serving sizes. Accuracy depends on image quality, lighting, and food visibility. This tool should not replace professional dietary advice. These limitations are intentional to keep the workflow simple and easy to understand. How to set up Create a LINE Messaging API channel and obtain a Channel Access Token. Generate a Google Gemini API key. Update the Config node with your LINE token, Google Sheets ID, Google Drive folder ID, and daily calorie goal. Configure credentials for LINE, Google Gemini, Google Sheets, and Google Drive. Register the n8n webhook URL in your LINE channel settings. Activate the workflow in n8n and test it with a single meal photo. How to customize Modify the AI prompt in the "Analyze Meal with AI" node to support different languages or dietary frameworks (keto, vegan, etc.). Adjust the daily calorie goal in the Config node to match individual needs. Add additional nutritional fields such as sodium, sugar, or vitamins. Replace Google Sheets with a fitness app API or database. Integrate with other services to send daily/weekly nutrition summaries. --- Note: This workflow was tested using real meal photos sent individually via the LINE Messaging API. Nutritional estimates are approximations and may vary from actual values. For accurate dietary tracking, consult a registered dietitian.
