Webhook and Slack integration

This is a response chatbot in public channels through slash commands. I explain more in detail through the YouTube video, but it's only available in Korean. How it works? When you request the created slash command in Slack, the request comes to the webhook. Then, the Switch Node branches appropriately according to each slash command request. Here, a slash command called /ask is connected to the chatbot, and the chatbot generates answers to the questions asked. The final node responds to the channel. Set up steps Create a Slack app. Add chat:write permission in Slack OAuth&Permissions>Scopes. Create a Command in Slack Slash Commands menu and enter the n8n Webhook node's URL. Complete creating the Slash Commands. Enter the created command in the Switch node. 슬래시 커맨드를 통한 공개 채널에서의 응답 챗봇 입니다. 유튜브 영상에 더 자세하게 설명 드립니다. 설명 슬랙에 생성한 슬래시 커맨드를 슬랙에서 요청하면 웹훅에 요청이 들어옵니다. 이후 Switch Node에서 각 슬래시 커맨드의 요청에 따라 알맞게 분기합니다. 여기에서는 /ask​라는 슬래시 커맨드가 챗봇으로 연결되어 있고, 챗봇에서 질문한 내용의 답변을 생성합니다. 마지막 노드에서 채널로 응답을 합니다. 설정 방법 Slack 앱을 만드세요.

Summary Description: The "IT Department Q&A Workflow" is designed to streamline and automate the process of handling IT-related inquiries from employees through Slack. When an employee sends a direct message (DM) to the IT department's Slack channel, the workflow is triggered. The initial step involves the "Receive DMs" node, which listens for new messages. Upon receiving a message, the workflow verifies the webhook by responding to Slack's challenge request, ensuring that the communication channel is active and secure. Once the webhook is verified, the workflow checks if the message sender is a bot using the "Check if Bot" node. If the sender is identified as a bot, the workflow terminates the process to avoid unnecessary actions. If the sender is a human, the workflow sends an acknowledgment message back to the user, confirming that their query is being processed. This is achieved through the "Send Initial Message" node, which posts a simple message like "On it!" to the user's Slack channel. The core functionality of the workflow is powered by the "AI Agent" node, which utilizes the OpenAI GPT-4 model to interpret and respond to the user's query. This AI-driven node processes the text of the received message, generating an appropriate response based on the context and information available. To maintain conversation context, the "Window Buffer Memory" node stores the last five messages from each user, ensuring that the AI agent can provide coherent and contextually relevant answers. Additionally, the workflow includes a custom Knowledge Base (KB) tool (see that tool template here) that integrates with the AI agent, allowing it to search the company's internal KB for relevant information. After generating the response, the workflow cleans up the initial acknowledgment message using the "Delete Initial Message" node to keep the conversation thread clean. Finally, the generated response is sent back to the user via the "Send Message" node, providing them with the information or assistance they requested. This workflow effectively automates the IT support process, reducing response times and improving efficiency. To quickly deploy the Knowledge Ninja app in Slack, use the app manifest below and don't forget to replace the two sample urls: { "display_information": { "name": "Knowledge Ninja", "description": "IT Department Q&A Workflow", "background_color": "#005e5e" }, "features": { "bot_user": { "display_name": "IT Ops AI SlackBot Workflow", "always_online": true } }, "oauth_config": { "redirect_urls": [ "Replace everything inside the double quotes with your slack redirect oauth url, for example: https://n8n.domain.com/rest/oauth2-credential/callback" ], "scopes": { "user": [ "search:read" ], "bot": [ "chat:write", "chat:write.customize", "groups:history", "groups:read", "groups:write", "groups:write.invites", "groups:write.topic", "im:history", "im:read", "im:write", "mpim:history", "mpim:read", "mpim:write", "mpim:write.topic", "usergroups:read", "usergroups:write", "users:write", "channels:history" ] } }, "settings": { "event_subscriptions": { "request_url": "Replace everything inside the double quotes with your workflow webhook url, for example: https://n8n.domain.com/webhook/99db3e73-57d8-4107-ab02-5b7e713894ad", "bot_events": [ "message.im" ] }, "org_deploy_enabled": false, "socket_mode_enabled": false, "token_rotation_enabled": false } }

Who is this for? This workflow is designed for IT teams, service desk personnel, and incident management professionals who need a streamlined way to monitor and report on recent ServiceNow incidents directly within Slack. What problem is this workflow solving? / Use Case Manually monitoring incidents in ServiceNow can be time-consuming, and keeping teams updated about new or specific incidents often involves additional manual effort. This workflow automates the process of querying recent incidents from ServiceNow based on user-defined parameters and delivering formatted results directly to Slack. It ensures faster response times and improved incident visibility. What this workflow does This workflow integrates Slack and ServiceNow to provide an automated system for retrieving and presenting incident details. Slack User Interaction: Users initiate the workflow via a Slack modal form, selecting incident parameters like priority and state. ServiceNow Query: The workflow queries ServiceNow for incidents matching the selected criteria. Results Delivery: Incident results are sent back to Slack as a message formatted using Block Kit. If no results are found, the workflow notifies the user with a detailed message, either in a Slack channel or via direct message. Error Handling: If no channel is selected or any issues arise, the workflow ensures graceful fallback with appropriate notifications. Setup Instructions Slack Setup: Integrate Slack with n8n using a Slack app. Configure the modal form to accept parameters like priority and state. Check out this video for setting up a modal slack app on YouTube. ServiceNow Integration: Use ServiceNow credentials to connect with n8n. Ensure appropriate permissions for querying incidents. n8n Workflow Configuration: Import this workflow into n8n. Verify all node configurations, particularly those for ServiceNow API queries and Slack outputs. Set up webhook URLs for Slack event handling. Testing: Trigger the workflow from Slack to test modal inputs and incident queries. Confirm the output is correctly formatted and delivered to the intended Slack channel or user. How to Customize this Workflow to Your Needs Modify the ServiceNow query logic to include additional filters or fields. Adjust the Slack Block Kit formatting to match your organization’s preferred notification style. Use conditional logic to add more advanced handling for specific priorities or states. Expand the workflow to include escalation steps, such as notifying a specific team or creating follow-up tasks. Workflow Highlights Slack Modal Form**: Allows users to specify search criteria for incidents interactively. Dynamic Results Delivery**: Automatically sends results to a Slack channel or direct message based on user input. Error Handling**: Provides fallback notifications when no incidents are found or user inputs are incomplete. Customizable Integration**: Easily adaptable to fit different organizational needs, including advanced filtering and formatting options.
