n8n Workflow: AI-Powered RAG Chatbot for Open Line Channels

This n8n workflow provides a robust, AI-powered Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot solution designed to integrate with open line channels. It leverages large language models (LLMs) and vector databases to deliver intelligent, context-aware responses, enhancing customer support or information retrieval in real-time.

What it does

This workflow orchestrates several key steps to provide an AI-powered RAG chatbot:

  1. Receives Incoming Messages: It acts as a webhook listener, waiting for new messages or queries from an external "open line channel" (e.g., a messaging platform, a custom chat interface).
  2. Pre-processes Input: The incoming message is processed to extract relevant information and prepare it for the AI model.
  3. Determines Action Type: It evaluates the incoming message to decide if it's a new query requiring a RAG response or a follow-up/status update.
  4. Retrieves Relevant Information:
    • If it's a new query, the workflow takes the user's message and performs a similarity search against a Qdrant vector store. This step retrieves relevant documents or knowledge base articles that might contain the answer.
    • The retrieved documents are then split into manageable chunks using a Recursive Character Text Splitter to optimize for LLM processing.
    • These document chunks are loaded using a Default Data Loader.
  5. Generates AI Response:
    • The user's query and the retrieved context (from the vector store) are fed into a Google Gemini Chat Model.
    • The Google Gemini Chat Model, configured as a Question and Answer Chain, generates a comprehensive and contextually relevant answer.
  6. Handles No-Match Scenarios: If no relevant information is found in the vector store, the workflow can route to a fallback, potentially indicating to the user that it couldn't find an answer or escalating to a human agent.
  7. Responds to the Channel: The generated AI response (or fallback message) is sent back to the originating open line channel via the webhook.
  8. Manages Embeddings: It utilizes an Ollama Embeddings model to convert text into vector embeddings, which are crucial for the vector store's similarity search.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
  • Webhook Integration: An external system or "open line channel" capable of sending messages to an n8n webhook.
  • Qdrant Vector Database: Access to a Qdrant instance for storing and retrieving vector embeddings of your knowledge base.
  • Google Gemini API Key: Credentials for the Google Gemini Chat Model to power the RAG responses.
  • Ollama Instance: An Ollama instance (or compatible embedding service) for generating text embeddings.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Webhook:
    • Activate the Webhook node and copy its URL.
    • Configure your "open line channel" to send messages/queries to this webhook URL.
  3. Set up Credentials:
    • Configure your Google Gemini Chat Model credentials in the Google Gemini Chat Model node.
    • Configure your Qdrant Vector Store connection details in the Qdrant Vector Store node.
    • Configure your Ollama Embeddings connection details in the Embeddings Ollama node.
  4. Populate Qdrant: Ensure your Qdrant vector database is populated with the relevant knowledge base documents, converted into embeddings using a compatible embedding model (e.g., Ollama, as configured in this workflow).
  5. Activate Workflow: Once all credentials and configurations are set, activate the workflow.

The workflow will now listen for incoming messages, process them using the RAG pipeline, and send back AI-generated responses.

Two-way property repair management system with Google Sheets & Drive

This workflow automates the repair request process between tenants and building managers, keeping all updates organized in a single spreadsheet. It is composed of two coordinated workflows, as two separate triggers are required β€” one for new repair submissions and another for repair updates. A Unique Unit ID that corresponds to individual units is attributed to each request, and timestamps are used to coordinate repair updates with specific requests. General use cases include: Property managers who manage multiple buildings or units. Building owners looking to centralize tenant repair communication. Automation builders who want to learn multi-trigger workflow design in n8n. --- βš™οΈ How It Works Workflow 1 – New Repair Requests Behind the Scenes: A tenant fills out a Google Form (β€œRepair Request Form”), which automatically adds a new row to a linked Google Sheet. Steps: Trigger: Google Sheets rowAdded – runs when a new form entry appears. Extract & Format: Collects all relevant form data (address, unit, urgency, contacts). Generate Unit ID: Creates a standardized identifier (e.g., BUILDING-UNIT) for tracking. Email Notification: Sends the building manager a formatted email summarizing the repair details and including a link to a Repair Update Form (which activates Workflow 2). --- Workflow 2 – Repair Updates Behind the Scenes:\ Triggered when the building manager submits a follow-up form (β€œRepair Update Form”). Steps: Lookup by UUID: Uses the Unit ID from Workflow 1 to find the existing row in the Google Sheet. Conditional Logic: If photos are uploaded: Saves each image to a Google Drive folder, renames files consistently, and adds URLs to the sheet. If no photos: Skips the upload step and processes textual updates only. Merge & Update: Combines new data with existing repair info in the same spreadsheet row β€” enabling a full repair history in one place. --- 🧩 Requirements Google Account (for Forms, Sheets, and Drive) Gmail/email node connected for sending notifications n8n credentials configured for Google API access --- ⚑ Setup Instructions (see more detail in workflow) Import both workflows into n8n, then copy one into a second workflow. Change manual trigger in workflow 2 to a n8n Form node. Connect Google credentials to all nodes. Update spreadsheet and folder IDs in the corresponding nodes. Customize email text, sender name, and form links for your organization. Test each workflow with a sample repair request and a repair update submission. --- πŸ› οΈ Customization Ideas Add Slack or Telegram notifications for urgent repairs. Auto-create folders per building or unit for photo uploads. Generate monthly repair summaries using Google Sheets triggers. Add an AI node to create summaries/extract relevant repair data from repair request that include long submissions.
