Quickly transform any LinkedIn profile URL into a concise, AI‑generated professional summary — perfect for recruiters, sales teams, and hiring managers who need instant insights into prospects or candidates without manual research.

How it works

  • The workflow polls a Google Sheet for new or updated rows containing LinkedIn profile URLs.
  • For each URL, the Real‑Time LinkedIn Scraper API (via RapidAPI) pulls experience and education sections.
  • Extracted profile data is sent to OpenAI’s GPT model, which generates a clean, structured summary highlighting key strengths, career trajectory, and differentiators.
  • The generated summary is written back into a new column in the same row of your Google Sheet for easy review and sharing.

Set up steps

  • Connect your Google account and select the spreadsheet + worksheet containing your list of LinkedIn URLs.
  • Sign up for the Real‑Time LinkedIn Scraper API on RapidAPI, copy your API key, and add it to the workflow’s HTTP Request node.
  • Insert your OpenAI API key credentials.
  • Ensure your Google Sheet has one column for “linkedin_url” and create two empty columns named “full_name” and "summary" (or customize them based on your needs).
  • Run a single row through the workflow to verify scraping accuracy and summary formatting, then turn on the workflow for continuous automation.

With this template, eliminate hours of manual profile review — instantly gain actionable insights and focus on what really matters: building relationships and closing deals.

n8n Workflow: Automated LinkedIn Profile Summaries with GPT-4o and Google Sheets

This n8n workflow automates the generation of LinkedIn profile summaries using AI and manages the process through a Google Sheet. It listens for new entries in a specified Google Sheet, extracts LinkedIn profile URLs, generates a summary using an OpenAI Chat Model (likely GPT-4o given the context), and then updates the Google Sheet with the generated summary.

What it does

  1. Monitors Google Sheet: Triggers when a new row is added to a configured Google Sheet.
  2. Extracts LinkedIn Profile URL: Retrieves the LinkedIn profile URL from the new row.
  3. Generates AI Summary: Uses an OpenAI Chat Model (e.g., GPT-4o) via a LangChain Summarization Chain to generate a concise summary of the LinkedIn profile.
  4. Updates Google Sheet: Writes the generated AI summary back to a specified column in the same Google Sheet.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
  • Google Account: A Google account with access to Google Sheets.
  • OpenAI API Key: An API key for OpenAI to use their Chat Model (e.g., GPT-4o).
  • LangChain Credentials: Configured LangChain credentials in n8n for the OpenAI Chat Model.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow:
    • Download the provided JSON workflow.
    • In your n8n instance, click "Workflows" in the left sidebar.
    • Click "New" and then "Import from JSON".
    • Paste the workflow JSON or upload the file.
  2. Configure Google Sheets Trigger:
    • Open the "Google Sheets Trigger" node.
    • Select or create a Google Sheets credential.
    • Specify the "Spreadsheet ID" and "Sheet Name" that the workflow should monitor for new rows.
    • Set the "Trigger On" option to "New Row".
    • Ensure the column containing LinkedIn profile URLs is correctly identified in the subsequent nodes (e.g., "Code" node).
  3. Configure OpenAI Chat Model:
    • Open the "OpenAI Chat Model" node.
    • Select or create an OpenAI API credential.
    • Ensure the model is set to gpt-4o or your preferred chat model.
  4. Configure Google Sheets (Update) Node:
    • Open the "Google Sheets" node.
    • Select the same Google Sheets credential used for the trigger.
    • Specify the "Spreadsheet ID" and "Sheet Name" where the summary should be written.
    • Set the "Operation" to "Update Row".
    • Map the output from the "Summarization Chain" node to the correct column in your Google Sheet where the summary should be stored. You'll likely use an expression like {{ $json.summary }}.
    • Ensure the "Key Column" and "Key Value" are correctly configured to identify the row to update (e.g., using the row index from the trigger).
  5. Activate the Workflow:
    • Click the "Activate" toggle in the top right corner of the n8n editor.

The workflow will now automatically generate LinkedIn profile summaries whenever a new row is added to your specified Google Sheet with a LinkedIn profile URL.

Document RAG & chat agent: Google Drive to Qdrant with Mistral OCR

Knowledge RAG & AI Chat Agent: Google Drive to Qdrant Description This workflow transforms a Google Drive folder into an intelligent, searchable knowledge base and provides a chat agent to query it. It’s composed of two distinct flows: An ingestion pipeline to process documents. A live chat agent that uses RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and optional web search to answer user questions. This system fully automates the creation of a “Chat with your docs” solution and enhances it with external web-searching capabilities. --- Quick Implementation Steps Import the workflow JSON into your n8n instance. Set up credentials for Google Drive, Mistral AI, OpenAI, and Qdrant. Open the Web Search node and add your Tavily AI API key to the Authorization header. In the Google Drive (List Files) node, set the Folder ID you want to ingest. Run the workflow manually once to populate your Qdrant database (Flow 1). Activate the workflow to enable the chat trigger (Flow 2). Copy the public webhook URL from the When chat message received node and open it in a new tab to start chatting. --- What It Does The workflow is divided into two primary functions: Knowledge Base Ingestion (Manual Trigger) This flow populates your vector database. Scans Google Drive: Lists all files from a specified folder. Processes Files Individually: Downloads each file. Extracts Text via OCR: Uses Mistral AI OCR API for text extraction from PDFs, images, etc. Generates Smart Metadata: A Mistral LLM assigns metadata like documenttype, project, and assignedto. Chunks & Embeds: Text is cleaned, chunked, and embedded via OpenAI’s text-embedding-3-small model. Stores in Qdrant: Text chunks, embeddings, and metadata are stored in a Qdrant collection (docaiauto). AI Chat Agent (Chat Trigger) This flow powers the conversational interface. Handles User Queries: Triggered when a user sends a chat message. Internal RAG Retrieval: Searches Qdrant Vector Store first for answers. Web Search Fallback: If unavailable internally, the agent offers to perform a Tavily AI web search. Contextual Responses: Combines internal and external info for comprehensive answers. --- Who's It For Ideal for: Teams building internal AI knowledge bases from Google Drive. Developers creating AI-powered support, research, or onboarding bots. Organizations implementing RAG pipelines. Anyone making unstructured Google Drive documents searchable via chat. --- Requirements n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud). Google Drive Credentials (to list and download files). Mistral AI API Key (for OCR & metadata extraction). OpenAI API Key (for embeddings and chat LLM). Qdrant instance (cloud or self-hosted). Tavily AI API Key (for web search). --- How It Works The workflow runs two independent flows in parallel: Flow 1: Ingestion Pipeline (Manual Trigger) List Files: Fetch files from Google Drive using the Folder ID. Loop & Download: Each file is processed one by one. OCR Processing: Upload file to Mistral Retrieve signed URL Extract text using Mistral DOC OCR Metadata Extraction: Analyze text using a Mistral LLM. Text Cleaning & Chunking: Split into 1000-character chunks. Embeddings Creation: Use OpenAI embeddings. Vector Insertion: Push chunks + metadata into Qdrant. Flow 2: AI Chat Agent (Chat Trigger) Chat Trigger: Starts when a chat message is received. AI Agent: Uses OpenAI + Simple Memory to process context. RAG Retrieval: Queries Qdrant for related data. Decision Logic: Found → Form answer. Not found → Ask if user wants web search. Web Search: Performs Tavily web lookup. Final Response: Synthesizes internal + external info. --- How To Set Up Import the Workflow Upload the provided JSON into your n8n instance. Configure Credentials Create and assign: Google Drive → Google Drive nodes Mistral AI → Upload, Signed URL, DOC OCR, Cloud Chat Model OpenAI → Embeddings + Chat Model nodes Qdrant → Vector Store nodes Add Tavily API Key Open Web Search node → Parameters → Headers Add your key under Authorization (e.g., tvly-xxxx). Node Configuration Google Drive (List Files): Set Folder ID. Qdrant Nodes: Ensure same collection name (docaiauto). Run Ingestion (Flow 1) Click Test workflow to populate Qdrant with your Drive documents. Activate Chat (Flow 2) Toggle the workflow ON to enable real-time chat. Test Open the webhook URL and start chatting! --- How To Customize Change LLMs: Swap models in OpenAI or Mistral nodes (e.g., GPT-4o, Claude 3). Modify Prompts: Edit the system message in ai chat agent to alter tone or logic. Chunking Strategy: Adjust chunkSize and chunkOverlap in the Code node. Different Sources: Replace Google Drive with AWS S3, Local Folder, etc. Automate Updates: Add a Cron node for scheduled ingestion. Validation: Add post-processing steps after metadata extraction. Expand Tools: Add more functional nodes like Google Calendar or Calculator. --- Use Case Examples Internal HR Bot: Answer HR-related queries from stored policy docs. Tech Support Assistant: Retrieve troubleshooting steps for products. Research Assistant: Summarize and compare market reports. Project Management Bot: Query document ownership or project status. --- Troubleshooting Guide | Issue | Possible Solution | |------------|------------------------| | Chat agent doesn’t respond | Check OpenAI API key and model availability (e.g., gpt-4.1-mini). | | Known documents not found | Ensure ingestion flow ran and both Qdrant nodes use same collection name. | | OCR node fails | Verify Mistral API key and input file integrity. | | Web search not triggered | Re-check Tavily API key in Web Search node headers. | | Incorrect metadata | Tune Information Extractor prompt or use a stronger Mistral model. | --- Need Help or More Workflows?
