n8n Workflow: Automate Jira Backlog Hygiene and Reporting with Slack, Gmail, and GPT-4

This n8n workflow streamlines the process of maintaining a healthy Jira backlog, generating reports, and communicating insights across your team using Slack, Gmail, and an AI agent powered by Azure OpenAI. It helps identify, analyze, and report on Jira issues, ensuring your backlog remains organized and actionable.

What it does

This workflow performs the following key steps:

  1. Scheduled Trigger: Initiates the workflow on a predefined schedule (e.g., daily, weekly).
  2. Google Sheets Data Retrieval: Reads data from a specified Google Sheet, likely containing parameters or configurations for Jira queries or reporting.
  3. AI Agent Analysis (Azure OpenAI): Utilizes an AI Agent, powered by an Azure OpenAI Chat Model, to process the retrieved data. This agent is likely configured to perform complex analysis, summarize information, or generate insights based on the Jira data.
  4. Structured Output Parsing: Parses the output from the AI Agent into a structured format (e.g., JSON) to ensure consistency and ease of use in subsequent steps.
  5. Data Aggregation: Combines and aggregates the processed data, preparing it for reporting and communication.
  6. Conditional Logic (If): Evaluates conditions based on the aggregated data. This could be used to determine if certain thresholds are met, if specific issues need attention, or if reports should be sent.
  7. Jira Software Interaction: (Likely) Interacts with Jira Software based on the conditional logic. This could involve updating issues, creating new ones, or retrieving additional data. Note: While the Jira node is present, its specific action and connection are not defined in the provided JSON.
  8. Slack Notification: Sends messages or reports to a designated Slack channel, keeping the team informed of backlog status or critical issues.
  9. Gmail Email Notification: Sends detailed reports or summaries via Gmail to relevant stakeholders.
  10. Edit Fields (Set): Transforms or sets specific fields in the data at various points in the workflow, ensuring data is in the correct format for downstream nodes.
  11. Sticky Note: Provides a visual annotation within the workflow for documentation or reminders.

Demo Personalized Email This n8n workflow is built for AI and automation agencies to promote their workflows through an interactive demo that prospects can try themselves. The featured system is a deep personalized email demo. --- 🔄 How It Works Prospect Interaction A prospect starts the demo via Telegram. The Telegram bot (created with BotFather) connects directly to your n8n instance. Demo Guidance The RAG agent and instructor guide the user step-by-step through the demo. Instructions and responses are dynamically generated based on user input. Workflow Execution When the user triggers an action (e.g., testing the email demo), n8n runs the workflow. The workflow collects website data using Crawl4AI or standard HTTP requests. Email Demo The system personalizes and sends a demo email through SparkPost, showing the automation’s capability. Logging and Control Each user interaction is logged in your database using their name and id. The workflow checks limits to prevent misuse or spam. Error Handling If a low-CPU scraping method fails, the workflow automatically escalates to a higher-CPU method. ⚙️ Requirements Before setting up, make sure you have the following: n8n — Automation platform to run the workflow Docker — Required to run Crawl4AI Crawl4AI — For intelligent website crawling Telegram Account — To create your Telegram bot via BotFather SparkPost Account — To send personalized demo emails A database (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite) — To store log data such as user name and ID 🚀 Features Telegram interface using the BotFather API Instructor and RAG agent to guide prospects through the demo Flow generation limits per user ID to prevent abuse Low-cost yet powerful web scraping, escalating from low- to high-CPU flows if earlier ones fail --- 💡 Development Ideas Replace the RAG logic with your own query-answering and guidance method Remove the flow limit if you’re confident the demo can’t be misused Swap the personalized email demo with any other workflow you want to showcase --- 🧠 Technical Notes Telegram bot created with BotFather Website crawl process: Extract sub-links via /sitemap.xml, sitemap_index.xml, or standard HTTP requests Fall back to Crawl4AI if normal requests fail Fetch sub-link content via HTTPS or Crawl4AI as backup SparkPost used for sending demo emails --- ⚙️ Setup Instructions Create a Telegram Bot Use BotFather on Telegram to create your bot and get the API token.
