Comprehensive Legal Department Automation with OpenAI & Specialist Agents

This n8n workflow demonstrates a sophisticated automation solution for legal departments, leveraging OpenAI's language models and specialized AI agents to streamline complex tasks. It's designed to act as a central hub for legal inquiries, routing them to the most appropriate AI agent for processing.

What it does

This workflow orchestrates a multi-agent system to handle legal-related queries:

Listens for Chat Messages: The workflow is triggered by an incoming chat message, acting as the primary interface for users to submit their legal queries or requests.
Initial AI Agent Processing: An "AI Agent" node receives the chat message. This agent is likely configured to understand the intent of the incoming message and determine which specialist tool or agent is best suited to handle the request.
Language Model for Chat: An "OpenAI Chat Model" node provides the underlying large language model capabilities for the AI agents, enabling them to understand natural language, reason, and generate responses.
Specialized "Think" Tool: A "Think Tool" node suggests that the workflow incorporates a mechanism for the AI agents to perform internal reasoning or planning before executing an action. This could involve breaking down complex problems or strategizing the best approach.
Specialized "AI Agent Tool": An "AI Agent Tool" node indicates the presence of a dedicated, potentially more specialized AI agent that can be invoked by the primary AI Agent. This allows for modularity and the ability to delegate specific legal tasks (e.g., contract analysis, legal research, compliance checks) to agents trained or configured for those particular functions.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
OpenAI API Key: An API key for OpenAI to power the "OpenAI Chat Model" node. This credential will need to be configured within n8n.
LangChain Nodes: Ensure the @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain package is installed and enabled in your n8n instance, as this workflow heavily relies on LangChain-based AI nodes.
Chat Integration: A chat platform integrated with n8n (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams, custom chat application) that can send messages to the "Chat Trigger" node.

Setup/Usage

Import the Workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
Configure Credentials:
- Set up your OpenAI API Key as a credential in n8n.
- Configure the "OpenAI Chat Model" node to use your OpenAI credential.
Configure Chat Trigger: Set up the "When chat message received" trigger to listen for messages from your desired chat platform. This typically involves configuring webhooks or API integrations specific to your chat service.
Customize AI Agents (Optional but Recommended):
- Review the configurations of the "AI Agent" and "AI Agent Tool" nodes. You will likely want to define the specific capabilities, tools, and prompts for these agents to align with your legal department's needs. This might involve providing context about legal documents, specific legal domains, or access to external legal databases (if further tools were added).
- The "Think Tool" node might also require specific instructions or logic depending on how you want your agents to reason.
Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow.

This workflow provides a robust foundation for building advanced AI-driven automation within a legal department, enabling efficient handling and routing of legal queries to specialized AI capabilities.

If AI returns non-JSON, keep “Return only a JSON array” as the last line of the prompt and keep jsonOutput enabled. Consider adding validation on parsing.warnings to gate Salesforce writes. For discounts/taxes in OLI: Standard OLI fields don’t support per-line discount amounts directly; model them in UnitPrice or custom fields. Replace the Composite API URL with your org’s domain or use the Salesforce node’s Bulk Upsert for simplicity.
