Send daily LinkedIn post drafts with Tavily, Groq Llama 3.3 and Gmail

## Quick overview This workflow runs daily at 8 AM to rotate through a topic list, research it with Tavily web search, generate a LinkedIn post and image prompt with Groq (Llama 3.3 70B), create a Pollinations.ai image URL, and email you the post with the image attached via Gmail. ## How it works 1. Runs every day at 8:00 AM on a schedule. 2. Selects today’s topic from a rotating list based on the day of the year. 3. Searches the web with Tavily to fetch up-to-date results for the selected topic. 4. Uses a Groq-hosted Llama model to write a LinkedIn post and a matching image prompt grounded in the Tavily results. 5. Builds a Pollinations.ai image generation URL from the image prompt and downloads the generated image file. 6. Emails the post text with the image attached via Gmail, and sends a text-only fallback email if image generation or download fails. ## Setup 1. Add a Groq API credential to the Groq Chat Model node. 2. Create a Tavily API key and configure HTTP Header Auth with `Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_TAVILY_KEY>` for the Tavily Search request. 3. Connect a Gmail OAuth2 credential and update the recipient email address in both Gmail send steps. 4. Edit the topic list in the topic-selection code step if you want different rotating themes. ## Requirements - Groq API key (free tier available) - Tavily API key (free tier — 1,000 searches/month) - Gmail account (OAuth2) ## Customization - Edit the topic list inside the "Pick Today's Topic" code node to change what subjects the post rotates through. - Change the Groq model in the "Groq Chat Model" node if you want a different LLM (e.g. a smaller/faster or larger Groq model). - Adjust the schedule trigger if you want a different posting time, or swap the Gmail "send to" address to deliver the draft to someone else for review. ## Additional info This workflow emails you a draft for manual review before posting — it does not post to LinkedIn automatically. If image generation fails, a text-only fallback email is sent instead so you never miss the post text.

Send low-stock inventory reorder emails from Snowflake with Claude and Outlook

## Quick overview This workflow runs daily, queries Snowflake for items at or below their reorder level, and groups them by supplier. For each supplier, it uses Anthropic Claude to draft a reorder email, optionally appends details to a Google Docs log, and sends the email via Microsoft Outlook. ## How it works 1. A Schedule Trigger fires every day at 07:00 (Europe/Helsinki timezone) and passes through a Workflow Config node that holds your optional Google Docs log ID. 2. A Snowflake query fetches all inventory rows where current_stock <= reorder_level. If no items qualify, the workflow exits cleanly via a Pass Through node with no further action. 3. A Code node groups the low-stock items by supplier_name, producing one batch per vendor. A SplitInBatches loop then processes each supplier one at a time. 4. For each supplier, a Set node extracts the supplier email, item count, and a pre-rendered Markdown item list, then passes everything to an LLM chain powered by Claude (claude-sonnet-4-6). 5. Claude generates a concise, professional reorder request email body in Markdown, constrained by a system prompt to return only the email content with no preamble. 6. The Markdown output is converted to HTML and optionally appended as a one-line entry to a Google Docs audit log (skipped if no doc ID is configured). The workflow then sends the HTML email to the supplier via Microsoft Outlook before advancing to the next vendor. ## Setup 1. Open the Workflow Config node and set log_doc_id to the document ID from your Google Doc URL (the string between /d/ and /edit). Leave it empty to skip audit logging entirely. 2. Add your Snowflake credentials to the Query Snowflake DB node and verify the query matches your database name, schema, and table. The expected columns are item_id, item_name, current_stock, reorder_level, supplier_name, and supplier_email. 3. Add your Anthropic credentials to the Claude Email Generation node. 4. Add your Microsoft Outlook credentials to both the Send Reorder Email and Send Error Alert nodes. Update the toRecipients field in Send Error Alert to your alert address. 5. If logging is enabled, add your Google Docs credentials to the Log to Google Docs node. 6. In n8n Settings > Error Workflow, point to a dedicated error-handler sub-workflow that wires into the Send Error Alert node (it is intentionally unwired in this workflow). ## Requirements - Snowflake account with an inventory table containing current_stock, reorder_level, supplier_name, and supplier_email columns - Anthropic API credentials (claude-sonnet-4-6) - Microsoft 365 account with Outlook access - Google Docs OAuth2 credentials (only if audit logging is enabled) ## Customization - Adjust the Snowflake query to match your schema, add filters by warehouse or category, or join additional tables for richer item metadata. - Modify the Claude system prompt in Build Email Draft to change tone, language, or email structure — for example to generate Finnish-language emails or include purchase order references. - Change the cron expression in When 7am Daily to run at a different time or frequency. - Extend the log entry format in Log to Google Docs to include item names, SKUs, or a hyperlink back to the workflow execution. - Replace the Google Docs logging step with a Slack notification, a row insert into PostgreSQL, or any other audit destination by swapping the node after Check Configured Doc ID.

Generate VEO3 videos from form ideas with ChatGPT, fal.ai, Drive and Gmail

## Quick overview This workflow collects a video idea via an n8n Form, uses OpenAI to turn it into an optimized prompt, generates an 8-second VEO3 video with native audio via fal.ai, saves the MP4 to Google Drive, and emails the Drive link via Gmail. ## How it works 1. Receives a submission from an n8n Form with the requester’s email, a plain-English video idea, and a selected style. 2. Uses OpenAI (via an AI Agent) to convert the idea and style into a structured VEO3 title and detailed prompt returned as JSON. 3. Cleans and parses the AI JSON, creates a filename-safe title, and sets the generation parameters to 16:9 and 8 seconds. 4. Submits the prompt to fal.ai’s queue endpoint for the fal-ai/veo3 model and gets a request ID. 5. Polls fal.ai every 30 seconds until the job status returns COMPLETED. 6. Retrieves the final MP4 URL from fal.ai, downloads the video, uploads it to Google Drive, and emails the Google Drive web link to the requester via Gmail. ## Setup 1. Create a fal.ai account, generate an API key, and replace `YOUR_FAL_AI_API_KEY` in the fal.ai HTTP request headers. 2. Add an OpenAI API credential in the OpenAI Chat Model node and select the model you want to use. 3. Connect Google Drive OAuth2 and replace `YOUR_GDRIVE_FOLDER_ID` with the target folder ID where videos should be saved. 4. Connect Gmail OAuth2 for sending emails, then activate the workflow and use the Form URL (path `veo3-video-generator`) to submit requests.
