Reconcile Rent Payments with Local Excel Spreadsheet and OpenAI

This n8n workflow is designed to work on the local network and assists with reconciling downloaded bank statements with internal tenant records to quickly highlight any issues with payments such as missed or late payments or those of incorrect amounts. This assistant can then generate a report to quick flag attention to ensure remedial action is taken. How it works The workflow monitors a local network drive to watch for new bank statements that are added. This bank statement is then imported into the n8n workflow, its contents extracted and sent to the AI Agent. The AI Agent analyses the line items to identify the dates and any incoming payments from tenants. The AI agent then uses an locally-hosted Excel ("XLSX") spreadsheet to get both tenant records and property records. From this data, it can determine for each active tenant when payment is due, the amount and the tenancy duration. Comparing to the bank statement, the AI Agent can now report on where tenants have missed their payments, made late payments or are paying the incorrect amounts. The final report is generated and logged in the same XLSX for a human to check and action. Requirements A self-hosted version of n8n is required. OpenAI account for the AI model Customising this workflow If you organisation has a Slack or Teams account, consider sending reports to a channel for increased productivity. Email may be a good choice too. Want to go fully local? A version of this workflow is available which uses Ollama instead.

Transfer credentials to other n8n instances using a Multi-Form

Purpose This workflow allows you to transfer credentials from one n8n instance to another. How it works A multi-form setup guides you through the entire process You get to choose one of your predefined (in the Settings node) remote instances first Then all credentials of the current instance are being retrieved using the Execute Command node On the next form page you can select one of the credentials by their name and initiate the transfer Finally the credential is being created on the remote instance using the n8n API. A final form ending indicates if that action succeeded or not. Setup Select your credentials in the nodes which require those Configure your remote instance(s) in the Settings node Every instance is defined as object with the keys name, apiKey and baseUrl. Those instances are then wrapped inside an array. You can find an example described within a note on the workflow canvas. How to use Grab the (production) URL of the Form from the first node Open the URL and follow the instructions given in the multi-form Disclaimer Please note, that this workflow can only run on self-hosted n8n instances, since it requires the Execute Command Node. Security: Beware, that all credentials are being decrypted and processed within the workflow. Also the API keys to other n8n instances are stored within the workflow. This solution is primarily meant for transferring data between testing environments. For production use consider the n8n enterprise edition which provides a reliable way to manage credentials across different environments.

Build a Financial Documents Assistant using Qdrant and Mistral.ai

This n8n workflow demonstrates how to manage your Qdrant vector store when there is a need to keep it in sync with local files. It covers creating, updating and deleting vector store records ensuring our chatbot assistant is never outdated or misleading. Disclaimer This workflow depends on local files accessed through the local filesystem and so will only work on a self-hosted version of n8n at this time. It is possible to amend this workflow to work on n8n cloud by replacing the local file trigger and read file nodes. How it works A local directory where bank statements are downloaded to is monitored via a local file trigger. The trigger watches for the file create, file changed and file deleted events. When a file is created, its contents are uploaded to the vector store. When a file is updated, its previous records are replaced. When the file is deleted, the corresponding records are also removed from the vector store. A simple Question and Answer Chatbot is setup to answer any questions about the bank statements in the system. Requirements A self-hosted version of n8n. Some of the nodes used in this workflow only work with the local filesystem. Qdrant instance to store the records. Customising the workflow This workflow can also work with remote data. Try integrating accounting or CRM software to build a managed system for payroll, invoices and more. Want to go fully local? A version of this workflow is available which uses Ollama instead.

in other news I installed @n8n_io tonight and holy moly it’s good

it’s compatible with EVERYTHING

We're using the @n8n_io cloud for our internal automation tasks since the beta started. It's awesome! Also, support is super fast and always helpful. 🤗

Last week I automated much of the back office work for a small design studio in less than 8hrs and I am still mind-blown about it.

n8n is a game-changer and should be known by all SMBs and even enterprise companies.
