n8n Workflow: Basic AI Agent with Manual Trigger and Conditional Email Notification

This n8n workflow demonstrates a basic automation that can be manually triggered to interact with an AI agent, process its output, and conditionally send an email notification based on the AI's response. It also includes a placeholder for reading data from Google Sheets, though that part of the flow is currently disconnected.

What it does

  1. Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when manually executed within n8n.
  2. AI Agent Interaction: It then passes data to an AI Agent (likely powered by LangChain), which uses an OpenAI Chat Model and a Structured Output Parser (with an auto-fixing mechanism) to generate a response.
  3. Conditional Logic: The output from the AI Agent is evaluated by an "If" node.
  4. Email Notification (Conditional): If the condition in the "If" node is met (e.g., a specific keyword or sentiment is detected in the AI's response), an email is sent via Gmail.
  5. No Operation (Fallback): If the condition is not met, the workflow proceeds to a "No Operation" node, effectively doing nothing further.
  6. Data Manipulation (Disconnected): A "Set" node is present for potential data manipulation, but it is currently disconnected from the main flow.
  7. Google Sheets (Disconnected): A "Google Sheets" node is included, indicating a potential future integration for reading or writing data, but it is currently not connected to the main workflow.

Prerequisites/Requirements

  • n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
  • OpenAI API Key: Required for the "OpenAI Chat Model" node to interact with OpenAI's language models (e.g., GPT-4o, as hinted by the directory name).
  • Gmail Account: Configured as a credential in n8n for sending emails.
  • Google Sheets Account (Optional/Future): If the Google Sheets node is to be used, appropriate Google Sheets credentials will be needed.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Set up your OpenAI API Key credential for the "OpenAI Chat Model" node.
    • Set up your Gmail credential for the "Gmail" node.
    • (Optional) If you plan to use the Google Sheets node, configure your Google Sheets credential.
  3. Configure AI Agent:
    • Review and configure the "AI Agent" node, including its prompt and the "OpenAI Chat Model" settings (e.g., model name).
    • Adjust the "Structured Output Parser" and "Auto-fixing Output Parser" as needed for your desired AI output format.
  4. Configure Conditional Logic:
    • Edit the "If" node (ID: 20) to define the specific condition(s) that should trigger the "Gmail" node. This will depend on the expected output structure from your AI Agent.
  5. Configure Gmail Node:
    • Edit the "Gmail" node (ID: 356) to specify the recipient, subject, and body of the email that will be sent when the "If" condition is true.
  6. Activate and Execute:
    • Activate the workflow.
    • Manually execute the workflow using the "When clicking ‘Execute workflow’" trigger to test its functionality.

This workflow provides a flexible foundation for integrating AI capabilities with conditional actions and email notifications, with potential for further expansion using Google Sheets.

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?
