Automate WHMCS support ticket creation with Gemini AI chatbot
This n8n template implements an AI-Powered Chatbot for Automated WHMCS Support Ticket Creation
Who's it for
This template is designed for web hosting companies, domain registrars, and IT service providers who want to automate their customer support ticket creation process. It's perfect for businesses looking to streamline support operations by automatically converting customer chat conversations into structured WHMCS support tickets while maintaining professional, empathetic customer interactions.
How it works / What it does
This workflow creates an AI-powered chatbot that automatically converts customer chat messages into structured support tickets within the WHMCS system. The AI agent automatically:
- Receives customer queries through a webhook endpoint
- Processes natural language requests using Google Gemini AI
- Extracts key information from customer conversations:
- Customer name and email
- Issue description and subject
- Appropriate support department
- Priority level (Low, Medium, High)
- Fetches valid support departments from WHMCS using the GetSupportDepartments API
- Creates structured support tickets via WHMCS OpenTicket API
- Maintains conversation context with session-based memory
- Provides professional responses while gathering necessary information
The system ensures 100% accuracy by always mapping to valid WHMCS departments and never inventing ticket fields, maintaining data integrity and proper ticket routing.

AI Chatbot with Google Gemini and LangChain
This n8n workflow demonstrates a basic AI chatbot powered by Google Gemini and LangChain, featuring conversational memory. It provides a foundational setup for building interactive AI agents that can remember previous interactions.
What it does
This workflow sets up a simple AI chatbot that:
- Listens for Chat Messages: It acts as a trigger, initiating the workflow whenever a new chat message is received.
- Maintains Conversational Memory: Uses a "Simple Memory" node to store and recall past messages within the conversation, allowing the AI to maintain context.
- Processes Messages with Google Gemini: Utilizes the Google Gemini Chat Model as the underlying large language model to generate responses based on the input and the conversational history.
- Orchestrates with an AI Agent: An "AI Agent" node (likely a LangChain agent) ties together the memory and the language model, enabling more complex conversational capabilities and potentially tool usage (though no specific tools are defined in this basic setup).
Prerequisites/Requirements
- n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
- Google Gemini API Key: An API key for the Google Gemini model, configured as a credential in n8n.
Setup/Usage
- Import the workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- You will need to set up a credential for the "Google Gemini Chat Model" node. This typically involves providing your Google Gemini API key.
- Activate the workflow: Once imported and configured, activate the workflow.
- Interact with the Chat Trigger: The "When chat message received" node acts as the entry point. You would typically interact with this trigger through an n8n chat integration (e.g., a custom chat UI, Telegram, Slack, etc., depending on how the Chat Trigger is exposed in your n8n setup). Send a message to initiate a conversation with the AI.

Auto-reply & create Linear tickets from Gmail with GPT-5, gotoHuman & human review
This workflow automatically classifies every new email from your linked mailbox, drafts a personalized reply, and creates Linear tickets for bugs or feature requests. It uses a human-in-the-loop with gotoHuman and continuously improves itself by learning from approved examples. How it works The workflow triggers on every new email from your linked mailbox. Self-learning Email Classifier: an AI model categorizes the email into defined categories (e.g., Bug Report, Feature Request, Sales Opportunity, etc.). It fetches previously approved classification examples from gotoHuman to refine decisions. Self-learning Email Writer: the AI drafts a reply to the email. It learns over time by using previously approved replies from gotoHuman, with per-classification context to tailor tone and style (e.g., different style for sales vs. bug reports). Human Review in gotoHuman: review the classification and the drafted reply. Drafts can be edited or retried. Approved values are used to train the self-learning agents. Send approved Reply: the approved response is sent as a reply to the email thread. Create ticket: if the classification is Bug or Feature Request, a ticket is created by another AI agent in Linear. Human Review in gotoHuman: How to set up Most importantly, install the gotoHuman node before importing this template! (Just add the node to a blank canvas before importing) Set up credentials for gotoHuman, OpenAI, your email provider (e.g. Gmail), and Linear. In gotoHuman, select and create the pre-built review template "Support email agent" or import the ID: 6fzuCJlFYJtlu9mGYcVT. Select this template in the gotoHuman node. In the "gotoHuman: Fetch approved examples" http nodes you need to add your formId. It is the ID of the review template that you just created/imported in gotoHuman. Requirements gotoHuman (human supervision, memory for self-learning) OpenAI (classification, drafting) Gmail or your preferred email provider (for email trigger+replies) Linear (ticketing) How to customize Expand or refine the categories used by the classifier. Update the prompt to reflect your own taxonomy. Filter fetched training data from gotoHuman by reviewer so the writer adapts to their personalized tone and preferences. Add more context to the AI email writer (calendar events, FAQs, product docs) to improve reply quality.
