Real estate chatbot with AI property matching and automated calendar scheduling
Description
A comprehensive real estate chatbot automation system that handles customer inquiries, property searches, and appointment scheduling through intelligent conversation flows and email processing.
How it works?
This template creates an end-to-end real estate automation system that handles customer inquiries from initial contact through appointment booking.
1. Customer Entry Point
- Webhook receives customer messages from chat interface
- Link detection checks if customer shared property URLs
- Smart routing - if property link found, fetch details immediately; otherwise proceed to chat
2. AI Content Processing
- Content filter (PRIORITY) - blocks non-real estate queries upfront
- Information extraction - scans messages for personal details and property requirements
- Human handoff detection - identifies requests for live agent assistance
3. Data Collection Phase
- Sequential gathering: Personal info (name → phone → email) then property needs
- Smart validation - phone format, email structure, budget parsing
- No redundancy - never asks for information already provided
- PostgreSQL storage - saves customer data and conversation memory
4. Property Search & Matching
- Database query filters properties by type, location, budget, availability
- Image enhancement - fetches property photos from media storage
- Results ranking - returns top 5 matches sorted by price
5. AI Response Generation
- GPT-4 formatting creates engaging, professional property listings
- Visual enhancement - includes property images and key details
- Personalized tone - acknowledges customer preferences
6. Appointment Automation
- Gmail monitoring - checks for appointment confirmations every hour
- Calendar integration - creates, updates, deletes appointments automatically
- Smart scheduling - checks availability, suggests alternatives for conflicts
- Email responses - sends confirmations and follow-ups

n8n Workflow: AI-Powered Chatbot with Property Matching and Calendar Scheduling
This n8n workflow creates an AI-powered chatbot that can respond to user queries, perform property matching using a search tool, and manage chat history using a PostgreSQL database. It's designed to automate interactions, provide relevant information, and maintain context in conversations.
What it does
This workflow automates the following steps:
- Receives Incoming Requests: It listens for incoming HTTP requests (e.g., from a chatbot frontend or other applications) via a Webhook.
- Initializes AI Agent: It passes the incoming user message to an AI Agent configured with an OpenAI Chat Model.
- Manages Chat History (PostgreSQL): The AI Agent utilizes a PostgreSQL database for chat memory, allowing it to maintain context across conversations.
- Performs Property Search (SerpAPI): The AI Agent is equipped with a SerpAPI (Google Search) tool, enabling it to search for real-time property information or other relevant data based on user queries.
- Processes AI Agent Response: The response from the AI Agent, which could be a direct answer or an indication of an action taken (like a property search), is captured.
- Conditional Logic for Email Trigger: It includes an "If" node, suggesting a conditional branch. Although not fully connected in the provided JSON, this node is typically used to trigger different actions based on the AI's response (e.g., if the AI determines a calendar scheduling is needed or an email should be sent).
- Sends Email (Gmail Trigger - Unconnected): A Gmail Trigger node is present but not connected to the main flow. This suggests a potential future or alternative use case where the workflow could be triggered by or send emails based on the AI's output.
- Responds to Webhook: Finally, it sends the AI's response back to the original caller via the Webhook, completing the request-response cycle.
Prerequisites/Requirements
To use this workflow, you will need:
- n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
- OpenAI API Key: For the OpenAI Chat Model to process natural language.
- SerpAPI API Key: For the SerpAPI (Google Search) tool to perform real-time searches.
- PostgreSQL Database: A PostgreSQL database instance to store chat memory. You will need the connection details (host, port, user, password, database name).
- Gmail Account (Optional): If you intend to activate the Gmail Trigger functionality.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- OpenAI Chat Model: Set up your OpenAI API credentials.
- SerpAPI: Set up your SerpAPI credentials.
- Postgres Chat Memory: Configure your PostgreSQL database credentials.
- Activate the Webhook: The "Webhook" node will provide a unique URL. This URL is where your chatbot frontend or other applications should send user messages.
- Configure AI Agent: Review and adjust the "AI Agent" node's settings, including its system message, tools, and memory configuration, to fine-tune its behavior for property matching and scheduling.
- Test the Workflow: Use the "Test Workflow" feature in n8n or send a sample request to the Webhook URL to ensure everything is working as expected.
- Connect Conditional Logic (Optional): If you want to enable specific actions based on the AI's response (e.g., calendar scheduling), connect the "If" node to relevant subsequent nodes (e.g., a calendar scheduling node, which is not included in this JSON but implied by the directory name).

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.
