Setup & Instructions — fluidX: Create Session, Analyze & Notify

Goal:
This workflow demonstrates the full fluidX THE EYE integration — starting a live session, inviting both the customer (via SMS) and the service agent (via email), and then accessing the media (photos and videos) created during the session.
Captured images are automatically analyzed with AI, uploaded to an external storage (such as Google Drive), and a media summary for the session is generated at the end.

  • The agent receives an email with a link to join the live session.
  • The customer receives an SMS with a link to start sharing their camera.
  • Once both are connected, the agent can view the live feed, and the system automatically stores uploaded images and videos in Google Drive.
  • When the session ends, the workflow collects all media and creates a complete AI-powered session summary (stored and updated in Google Drive).

Below is an example screenshot from the customer’s phone:

Flow Overview

Form Trigger → Create Session → Set Session Vars → Send SMS (User) → Send Email (Agent) → Monitor Media → Analyze Images (AI) → Upload Files to Google Drive → Generate Summary → Update Summary File

The workflow starts automatically when a Form submission is received.
Users enter the customer’s phone number and agent’s email, and the system creates a new fluidX THE EYE session.
As media is uploaded during the session, the workflow automatically retrieves, stores, analyzes, and summarizes it — providing a complete end-to-end automation example for remote inspection, support, or field-service use cases.

Notes

  • Do not store real personal data inside the template.
  • Manage API keys and secrets via n8n Credentials or environment variables.
  • Log out of https://live.fluidx.digital in the agent’s browser before testing, to ensure a clean invite flow and session creation.
