n8n Workflow: Airtop AI Agent Interaction (Template)
This n8n workflow provides a foundational structure for interacting with an AI agent within Airtop. It demonstrates how to initialize data, introduce a delay, and conditionally process information, serving as a robust template for more complex AI-driven workflows.
What it does
This workflow outlines a basic interaction pattern, which can be extended for various use cases such as:
- Starts Manually: The workflow is triggered manually, allowing for on-demand execution.
- Initializes Data: Sets up a predefined data structure, including a
queryand aresponsefield, ready for an AI agent interaction. - Introduces Delay: Pauses the workflow execution for a specified duration (e.g., 5 seconds), useful for rate limiting or waiting for external processes.
- Conditional Logic: Evaluates a condition (e.g., if the
responsefield is not empty) to determine the subsequent flow path. - Airtop Integration (Placeholder): Includes an Airtop node, indicating where actual interaction with an Airtop AI agent would occur. This node is currently not connected, serving as a conceptual placeholder.
- Code Execution (Placeholder): Contains a Code node, ready for custom JavaScript logic to further process or manipulate data based on the workflow's needs. This node is also not connected, acting as a placeholder.

Automated YouTube video uploads with 12h interval scheduling in JST
This workflow automates a batch upload of multiple videos to YouTube, spacing each upload 12 hours apart in Japan Standard Time (UTC+9) and automatically adding them to a playlist. ⚙️ Workflow Logic Manual Trigger — Starts the workflow manually. List Video Files — Uses a shell command to find all .mp4 files under the specified directory (/opt/downloads/单词卡/A1-A2). Sort and Generate Items — Sorts videos by day number (dayXX) extracted from filenames and assigns a sequential order value. Calculate Publish Schedule (+12h Interval) — Computes the next rounded JST hour plus a configurable buffer (default 30 min). Staggers each video’s scheduled time by order × 12 hours. Converts JST back to UTC for YouTube’s publishAt field. Split in Batches (1 per video) — Iterates over each video item. Read Video File — Loads the corresponding video from disk. Upload to YouTube (Scheduled) — Uploads the video privately with the computed publishAtUtc. Add to Playlist — Adds the newly uploaded video to the target playlist. 🕒 Highlights Timezone-safe: Pure UTC ↔ JST conversion avoids double-offset errors. Sequential scheduling: Ensures each upload is 12 hours apart to prevent clustering. Customizable: Change SPANHOURS, BUFFERMIN, or directory paths easily. Retry-ready: Each upload and playlist step has retry logic to handle transient errors. 💡 Typical Use Cases Multi-part educational video series (e.g., A1–A2 English learning). Regular content release cadence without manual scheduling. Automated YouTube publishing pipelines for pre-produced content. --- Author: Zane Category: Automation / YouTube / Scheduler Timezone: JST (UTC+09:00)
