Video Guide
I prepared a detailed guide that shows the entire process of building an AI agent that integrates with Airtable data in n8n. This template covers everything from data preparation to advanced configurations.
Who is this for?
This workflow is designed for developers, data analysts, and business owners who want to create an AI-powered conversational agent integrated with Airtable datasets. It is particularly useful for users looking to enhance data interaction through chat interfaces.
What problem does this workflow solve?
Engaging with data stored in Airtable often requires manual navigation and time-consuming searches. This workflow allows users to interact conversationally with their datasets, retrieving essential information quickly while minimizing the need for complex queries.
What this workflow does
This workflow enables an AI agent to facilitate chat interactions over Airtable data. The agent can:
- Retrieve order records, product details, and other relevant data.
- Execute mathematical functions to analyze data such as calculating averages and totals.
- Optionally generate maps for geographic data visualization.
- Dynamic Data Retrieval: The agent uses user prompts to dynamically query the dataset.
- Memory Management: It retains context during conversations, allowing users to engage in a more natural dialogue.
- Search and Filter Capabilities: Users can perform tailored searches with specific parameters or filters to refine their results.
Set up steps
-
Separate workflows:
- Create additional workflow and move there Workflow 2.
-
Replace credentials:
- Replace connections and credentials in all nodes.
-
Start chat:
- Ask questions and don't forget to mention required base name.

Creating an API endpoint
Task:
Create a simple API endpoint using the Webhook and Respond to Webhook nodes
Why:
You can prototype or replace a backend process with a single workflow
Main use cases:
Replace backend logic with a workflow
Jonathan
Joining different datasets
Task:
Merge two datasets into one based on matching rules
Why:
A powerful capability of n8n is to easily branch out the workflow in order to process different datasets. Even more powerful is the ability to join them back together with SQL-like joining logic.
Main use cases:
Appending data sets
Keep only new items
Keep only existing items

Back Up Your n8n Workflows To Github
This workflow will backup your workflows to Github. It uses the public api to export all of the workflow data using the n8n node.
It then loops over the data checks in Github to see if a file exists that uses the workflow name. Once checked it will then update the file on Github if it exists, Create a new file if it doesn't exist and if it's the same it will ignore the file.
Config Options
repo_owner - Github owner
repo_name - Github repository name
repo_path - Path within the Github repository
>This workflow has been updated to use the n8n node and the code node so requires at least version 0.198.0 of n8n

Scrape and store data from multiple website pages
This workflow allows extracting data from multiple pages website.
The workflow:
1) Starts in a country list at https://www.theswiftcodes.com/browse-by-country/.
2) Loads every country page (https://www.theswiftcodes.com/albania/)
3) Paginates every page in the country page.
4) Extracts data from the country page.
5) Saves data to MongoDB.
6) Paginates through all pages in all countries.
It uses getWorkflowStaticData('global') method to recover the next page (saved from the previous page), and it goes ahead with all the pages.
There is a first section where the countries list is recovered and extracted.
Later, I try to read if a local cache page is available and I recover the cached page from the disk.
Finally, I save data to MongoDB, and we paginate all the pages in the country and for all the countries.
I have applied a cache system to save a visited page to n8n local disk. If I relaunch workflow, we check if a cache file exists to discard non-required requests to the webpage.
If the data present in the website changes, you can apply a Cron node to check the website once per week.
Finally, before inserting data in MongoDB, the best way to avoid duplicates is to check that swift_code (the primary value of the collection) doesn't exist.
I recommend using a proxy for all requests to avoid IP blocks. A good solution for proxy plus IP rotation is scrapoxy.io.
This workflow is perfect for small data requirements. If you need to scrape dynamic data, you can use a Headless browser or any other service.
If you want to scrape huge lists of URIs, I recommend using Scrapy + Scrapoxy.

Google Maps Scraper
This workflow allows to scrape Google Maps data in an efficient way using SerpAPI.
You'll get all data from Gmaps at a cheaper cost than Google Maps API.
Add as input, your Google Maps search URL and you'll get a list of places with many data points such as:
phone number
website
rating
reviews
address
And much more.
Full guide to implement the workflow is here:

Backup n8n workflows to Google Drive
Temporary solution using the undocumented REST API for backups using Google drive.
Please note that there are issues with this workflow. It does not support versioning, so please know that it will create multiple copies of the workflows so if you run this daily it will make the folder grow quickly. Once I figure out how to version in Gdrive I'll update it here.

AI agent chat
This workflow employs OpenAI's language models and SerpAPI to create a responsive, intelligent conversational agent. It comes equipped with manual chat triggers and memory buffer capabilities to ensure seamless interactions.
To use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.50.0 or later.

Scrape and summarize webpages with AI
This workflow integrates both web scraping and NLP functionalities. It uses HTML parsing to extract links, HTTP requests to fetch essay content, and AI-based summarization using GPT-4o. It's an excellent example of an end-to-end automated task that is not only efficient but also provides real value by summarizing valuable content.
Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.50.0 or later.

AI agent that can scrape webpages
⚙️🛠️🚀🤖🦾
This template is a PoC of a ReAct AI Agent capable of fetching random pages (not only Wikipedia or Google search results).
On the top part there's a manual chat node connected to a LangChain ReAct Agent. The agent has access to a workflow tool for getting page content.
The page content extraction starts with converting query parameters into a JSON object. There are 3 pre-defined parameters:
url** – an address of the page to fetch
method** = full / simplified
maxlimit** - maximum length for the final page. For longer pages an error message is returned back to the agent
Page content fetching is a multistep process:
An HTTP Request mode tries to get the page content.
If the page content was successfuly retrieved, a series of post-processing begin:
Extract HTML BODY; content
Remove all unnecessary tags to recude the page size
Further eliminate external URLs and IMG scr values (based on the method query parameter)
Remaining HTML is converted to Markdown, thus recuding the page lengh even more while preserving the basic page structure
The remaining content is sent back to an Agent if it's not too long (maxlimit = 70000 by default, see CONFIG node).
NB:
You can isolate the HTTP Request part into a separate workflow.
Check the Workflow Tool description, it guides the agent to provide a query string with several parameters instead of a JSON object.
Please reach out to Eduard is you need further assistance with you n8n workflows and automations!
Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.

Telegram AI Chatbot
The workflow starts by listening for messages from Telegram users. The message is then processed, and based on its content, different actions are taken. If it's a regular chat message, the workflow generates a response using the OpenAI API and sends it back to the user. If it's a command to create an image, the workflow generates an image using the OpenAI API and sends the image to the user. If the command is unsupported, an error message is sent. Throughout the workflow, there are additional nodes for displaying notes and simulating typing actions.

Ask questions about a PDF using AI
The workflow first populates a Pinecone index with vectors from a Bitcoin whitepaper. Then, it waits for a manual chat message. When received, the chat message is turned into a vector and compared to the vectors in Pinecone. The most similar vectors are retrieved and passed to OpenAI for generating a chat response.
Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.
