Query business data from Uniconta ERP with OpenAI chatbot via Peliqan
How it works
This template is an end-to-end demo of an in-house AI agent that can answer a wide range of questions by retrieving information from the Uniconta ERP system. For example users can ask questions related to products, stock, accounting or any other type of information contained in Uniconta.
Peliqan.io is used as a "cache" of all Uniconta data. Peliqan uses one-click ELT to sync all data from Uniconta to the built-in data warehouse, allowing for fast & accurate queries. The AI agent uses Text-to-SQL to answer questions.
Text-to-SQL is performed via the Peliqan node, added as a tool to the AI Agent. The question of the user - in natural language - is converted to an SQL query by the AI Agent. The query is executed by Peliqan.io on the source Uniconta data and the result is interpreted by the AI Agent.
Preconditions
- You signed up for a Peliqan.io free trial account
- You have a Uniconta ERP system
Set up steps
- Sign up for a free trial on peliqan.io
- Add Uniconta as a connection in Peliqan (using an API key from Uniconta)
- Copy your Peliqan API key (in Peliqan go to Settings > API key) and use it in n8n to add a Peliqan connection
- Select your data warehouse in the Peliqan node "Execute an SQL query via Peliqan" in the drop-down field "Data warehouse name or id"
- Optional: run the template script in Peliqan that outputs your specific Uniconta datamodel (tables & columns). Copy your datamodel and paste it in the System Message of the AI Agent (replace the standard Uniconta model already present in this workflow)

n8n AI Chatbot Workflow
This n8n workflow demonstrates how to create a simple AI chatbot using LangChain nodes with OpenAI, designed to respond to incoming chat messages. It provides a basic conversational agent that can maintain context within a chat session.
What it does
This workflow simplifies the creation of an AI chatbot by:
- Listening for Chat Messages: It triggers whenever a new chat message is received from a configured chat service (e.g., Slack, Telegram, Discord, etc., depending on the chat trigger's configuration).
- Maintaining Conversation History: It uses a simple memory buffer to keep track of previous turns in the conversation, allowing the AI to respond contextually.
- Processing with an AI Agent: An AI Agent node orchestrates the interaction, using a language model and memory to formulate responses.
- Generating Responses with OpenAI: It leverages the OpenAI Chat Model to generate intelligent and context-aware replies to user messages.
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 chat model. This needs to be configured as an n8n credential.
- Chat Service Integration: A configured chat service (e.g., Slack, Telegram, Discord) that the "When chat message received" trigger can connect to. The specific setup will depend on your chosen chat service.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow: Download the JSON definition and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- OpenAI Chat Model: Edit the "OpenAI Chat Model" node and select or create an OpenAI API credential.
- Configure Chat Trigger:
- When chat message received: Edit this trigger node. Select or create the credential for your desired chat service (e.g., Slack, Telegram). Configure the specific settings for your chat service to receive messages.
- Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow. It will then start listening for incoming chat messages and respond via the configured chat service.

Automate Dutch Public Procurement Data Collection with TenderNed
TenderNed Public Procurement What This Workflow Does This workflow automates the collection of public procurement data from TenderNed (the official Dutch tender platform). It: Fetches the latest tender publications from the TenderNed API Retrieves detailed information in both XML and JSON formats for each tender Parses and extracts key information like organization names, titles, descriptions, and reference numbers Filters results based on your custom criteria Stores the data in a database for easy querying and analysis Setup Instructions This template comes with sticky notes providing step-by-step instructions in Dutch and various query options you can customize. Prerequisites TenderNed API Access - Register at TenderNed for API credentials Configuration Steps Set up TenderNed credentials: Add HTTP Basic Auth credentials with your TenderNed API username and password Apply these credentials to the three HTTP Request nodes: "Tenderned Publicaties" "Haal XML Details" "Haal JSON Details" Customize filters: Modify the "Filter op ..." node to match your specific requirements Examples: specific organizations, contract values, regions, etc. How It Works Step 1: Trigger The workflow can be triggered either manually for testing or automatically on a daily schedule. Step 2: Fetch Publications Makes an API call to TenderNed to retrieve a list of recent publications (up to 100 per request). Step 3: Process & Split Extracts the tender array from the response and splits it into individual items for processing. Step 4: Fetch Details For each tender, the workflow makes two parallel API calls: XML endpoint - Retrieves the complete tender documentation in XML format JSON endpoint - Fetches metadata including reference numbers and keywords Step 5: Parse & Merge Parses the XML data and merges it with the JSON metadata and batch information into a single data structure. Step 6: Extract Fields Maps the raw API data to clean, structured fields including: Publication ID and date Organization name Tender title and description Reference numbers (kenmerk, TED number) Step 7: Filter Applies your custom filter criteria to focus on relevant tenders only. Step 8: Store Inserts the processed data into your database for storage and future analysis. Customization Tips Modify API Parameters In the "Tenderned Publicaties" node, you can adjust: offset: Starting position for pagination size: Number of results per request (max 100) Add query parameters for date ranges, status filters, etc. Add More Fields Extend the "Splits Alle Velden" node to extract additional fields from the XML/JSON data, such as: Contract value estimates Deadline dates CPV codes (procurement classification) Contact information Integrate Notifications Add a Slack, Email, or Discord node after the filter to get notified about new matching tenders. Incremental Updates Modify the workflow to only fetch new tenders by: Storing the last execution timestamp Adding date filters to the API query Only processing publications newer than the last run Troubleshooting No data returned? Verify your TenderNed API credentials are correct Check that you have setup youre filter proper Need help setting this up or interested in a complete tender analysis solution?

🎓 How to transform unstructured email data into structured format with AI agent
This workflow automates the process of extracting structured, usable information from unstructured email messages across multiple platforms. It connects directly to Gmail, Outlook, and IMAP accounts, retrieves incoming emails, and sends their content to an AI-powered parsing agent built on OpenAI GPT models. The AI agent analyzes each email, identifies relevant details, and returns a clean JSON structure containing key fields: From – sender’s email address To – recipient’s email address Subject – email subject line Summary – short AI-generated summary of the email body The extracted information is then automatically inserted into an n8n Data Table, creating a structured database of email metadata and summaries ready for indexing, reporting, or integration with other tools. --- Key Benefits ✅ Full Automation: Eliminates manual reading and data entry from incoming emails. ✅ Multi-Source Integration: Handles data from different email providers seamlessly. ✅ AI-Driven Accuracy: Uses advanced language models to interpret complex or unformatted content. ✅ Structured Storage: Creates a standardized, query-ready dataset from previously unstructured text. ✅ Time Efficiency: Processes emails in real time, improving productivity and response speed. *✅ Scalability: Easily extendable to handle additional sources or extract more data fields. --- How it works This workflow automates the transformation of unstructured email data into a structured, queryable format. It operates through a series of connected steps: Email Triggering: The workflow is initiated by one of three different email triggers (Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, or a generic IMAP account), which constantly monitor for new incoming emails. AI-Powered Parsing & Structuring: When a new email is detected, its raw, unstructured content is passed to a central "Parsing Agent." This agent uses a specified OpenAI language model to intelligently analyze the email text. Data Extraction & Standardization: Following a predefined system prompt, the AI agent extracts key information from the email, such as the sender, recipient, subject, and a generated summary. It then forces the output into a strict JSON structure using a "Structured Output Parser" node, ensuring data consistency. Data Storage: Finally, the clean, structured data (the from, to, subject, and summarize fields) is inserted as a new row into a specified n8n Data Table, creating a searchable and reportable database of email information. --- Set up steps To implement this workflow, follow these configuration steps: Prepare the Data Table: Create a new Data Table within n8n. Define the columns with the following names and string type: From, To, Subject, and Summary. Configure Email Credentials: Set up the credential connections for the email services you wish to use (Gmail OAuth2, Microsoft Outlook OAuth2, and/or IMAP). Ensure the accounts have the necessary permissions to read emails. Configure AI Model Credentials: Set up the OpenAI API credential with a valid API key. The workflow is configured to use the model, but this can be changed in the respective nodes if needed. Connect the Nodes: The workflow canvas is already correctly wired. Visually confirm that the email triggers are connected to the "Parsing Agent," which is connected to the "Insert row" (Data Table) node. Also, ensure the "OpenAI Chat Model" and "Structured Output Parser" are connected to the "Parsing Agent" as its AI model and output parser, respectively. Activate the Workflow: Save the workflow and toggle the "Active" switch to ON. The triggers will begin polling for new emails according to their schedule (e.g., every minute), and the automation will start processing incoming messages. --- Need help customizing?
