n8n Slack Conversation to Structured Project Ticket
This n8n workflow automates the process of converting unstructured Slack conversations into structured project tickets using AI. It listens for specific webhook triggers, processes the conversation text with an AI agent, and then posts the summarized and structured information back to Slack.
What it does
- Listens for a Webhook: The workflow is triggered by an incoming webhook. This webhook is expected to contain a Slack conversation or message data.
- Processes with AI Agent: The received data is passed to an AI Agent (powered by OpenAI Chat Model and a Simple Memory) which is configured to understand and structure the conversation.
- Transforms Data with Code: A Code node likely further processes or formats the output from the AI Agent into a desired structure for a project ticket.
- Posts to Slack: The final, structured project ticket information is then posted back to a specified Slack channel.
Prerequisites/Requirements
- n8n Instance: A running n8n instance to host this workflow.
- Slack Account: A Slack workspace to send and receive messages.
- OpenAI API Key: An OpenAI API key is required for the "OpenAI Chat Model" node to function.
- Langchain Nodes: Ensure the
@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchainpackage is installed on your n8n instance, as it's used for the AI Agent, OpenAI Chat Model, and Simple Memory nodes.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow:
- Download the workflow JSON.
- In your n8n instance, go to "Workflows" and click "New".
- Click the "Import from JSON" button and paste the workflow JSON or upload the file.
- Configure Credentials:
- Slack: Configure your Slack credential for the "Slack" node. This will allow n8n to post messages to your Slack workspace.
- OpenAI: Configure your OpenAI credential for the "OpenAI Chat Model" node. You will need to provide your OpenAI API Key.
- Configure Webhook:
- The "Webhook" node will generate a unique URL when the workflow is activated. Copy this URL.
- You will need to configure your external system (e.g., a Slack integration, another n8n workflow, or a custom application) to send data to this webhook URL when a relevant Slack conversation occurs. The payload sent to this webhook should contain the conversation text that needs to be processed.
- Configure AI Agent:
- Review the "AI Agent" node's configuration. You might want to adjust its prompt or tools based on the specific type of project tickets you want to generate.
- The "Simple Memory" node stores conversational context, which is useful for multi-turn interactions or if the AI needs to recall previous parts of the conversation.
- Configure Code Node:
- Inspect the "Code" node. It likely contains JavaScript logic to transform the AI agent's output into the final project ticket format. Adjust this code if your desired ticket structure is different.
- Configure Slack Output:
- In the final "Slack" node, specify the Slack channel where the structured project tickets should be posted.
- Activate the Workflow: Once all configurations are complete, activate the workflow by toggling the "Active" switch in the top right corner of the workflow editor.
