Route RAG customer support across WhatsApp and Outlook with Pinecone and OpenRouter

## Quick overview A production-ready 3-workflow system that handles customer support across WhatsApp and Email using RAG-powered AI. Automatically routes queries, detects escalation intent, logs handoffs to Google Sheets, alerts your team via Slack, and lets agents resolve cases with a single slash command. ## How it works 1. A form trigger accepts PDF, DOCX, and TXT documents, chunks them with a token splitter, embeds them using Google Gemini, and stores them in your Pinecone vector store to build the AI knowledge base. 2. Incoming messages from WhatsApp Business Cloud API and Microsoft Outlook are each normalized into a unified contact format — capturing channel, contact ID, name, and message text — before merging into a single pipeline. 3. Every message is checked against a Google Sheets handoff tracker. If the contact is currently assigned to a human agent, the message is forwarded directly to Slack without any AI involvement. 4. For active (non-handoff) contacts, the AI Support Agent queries Pinecone via RAG, pulls context from a sliding conversation memory window, and returns a structured JSON output containing a reply and a handoff_requested flag. 5. If the AI detects escalation intent or has no answer, it sets handoff_requested: true — the contact is logged to Google Sheets, AI goes silent for that contact, and a detailed alert is posted to your Slack support channel. 6. Answers are routed back through the originating channel — WhatsApp replies via Business Cloud API, email replies via Microsoft Outlook — keeping every conversation native to its platform. 7. Support agents run /resolve [contact_id] in Slack to close a handoff. The workflow validates the input, updates the Google Sheets row with agent name and timestamp, re-enables AI for that contact, and confirms resolution in the Slack channel. ## Setup 1. Pinecone + Embeddings: Create a Pinecone index and add your Pinecone credential to the "Insert into Vector Store" and "Knowledge Base" nodes. Set your Google Gemini API credential on both Embeddings nodes (one in Workflow 1, one in Workflow 2). 2. WhatsApp: Connect your WhatsApp Business Cloud API credential to the WhatsApp Trigger node. Replace YOUR_WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER_ID in both Send WhatsApp Message nodes. 3. Email: Add your Microsoft Outlook OAuth2 credential to the Outlook Trigger and the Send Email Answer node. 4. Handoff Sheet: Create a Google Sheet with a tab named Handoffs and these column headers exactly: contact_id | channel | contact_name | status | handoff_since | resolved_by | resolved_at. Set your Google Sheets credential and paste your Sheet ID into all four Google Sheets nodes across Workflows 2 and 3. 5. Slack: Create a Slack bot app, add it to your support channel, and set the credential in all three Slack nodes. Update the channel name if yours differs from #support-handoff. 6. AI Model: Add your OpenRouter (or OpenAI) API key to the Chat Model node. Swap the model slug in node settings as needed. 7. Slash Command: Activate Workflow 3 first to generate its production webhook URL. Then in your Slack app settings go to Slash Commands → Create New → set command to /resolve → paste the webhook URL → reinstall app to workspace. 8. Activate order: Workflow 1 (KB ingestion) → Workflow 3 (resolve handler) → Workflow 2 (main support flow). ## Requirements - n8n (self-hosted or cloud) - WhatsApp Business Cloud API account (Meta Developer App) - Microsoft 365 / Outlook account - Pinecone account - Google Gemini API key - OpenRouter or OpenAI API key or Any other LLM - Google Sheets - Slack workspace with a custom bot app ## Customization - Edit the system prompt in the AI Support Agent node to match your brand voice, support scope, and escalation rules - Swap Google Gemini Embeddings for OpenAI Embeddings — just replace the Embeddings node and ensure your Pinecone index dimensions match - dd more channels (Telegram, Instagram DM, etc.) by normalizing their payloads into the same contact format and feeding them into the Merge node - Adjust conversation memory window (default: 8 messages) in the Conversation Memory node - Trigger the resolve webhook from your CRM or helpdesk instead of Slack if preferred ## Additional info All three workflows must be active simultaneously for the system to function Handoff state is persisted in Google Sheets and survives n8n restarts or server reboots Once a contact enters handoff, the AI is completely silent for that contact — no accidental double-responses Document metadata (filename, uploader name, timestamp) is stored alongside vectors in Pinecone for full traceability Default chunk settings: 500 tokens / 100 overlap — tune in the Token Splitter node based on your document style Contact / Support 🔗 n8n Templates: n8n.io/creators/salmanmehboob 💼 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/salman-mehboob-pro 📧 Email: [email protected] 💬 WhatsApp: +92 306 746 6499

Answer hotel guest messages with GPT-4o mini, Slack, and Google Sheets

## Quick Overview This workflow receives guest messages via a webhook, uses OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini) to generate multilingual hotel support replies with an escalation flag, notifies the front desk in Slack when needed, logs the interaction to Google Sheets, and returns a JSON acknowledgement to the messaging gateway. ## How it works 1. Receives an inbound guest message through a webhook from a WhatsApp/Viber gateway. 2. Normalizes the incoming payload into a consistent structure (guest ID, channel, guest name, and message text). 3. Uses OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini) to generate a short reply in the guest’s language based on the built-in hotel information and outputs structured JSON with language, reply, category, and an escalate flag. 4. If the message needs human attention, posts the guest details and message to a Slack front-desk channel. 5. Routes the reply based on the reported channel and sends the generated reply text to Slack. 6. Appends the conversation data to Google Sheets and responds to the gateway with a JSON status including the detected language and whether it was escalated. ## Setup 1. Configure the inbound webhook URL in your WhatsApp/Viber gateway so it sends a payload containing at least channel, from, and text/message fields. 2. Add OpenAI API credentials for the GPT-4o-mini model. 3. Add Slack OAuth2 credentials and set the target channels for front-desk notifications and reply delivery. 4. Add Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials and update the spreadsheet/document ID and sheet tab used for logging.

Answer support questions from a knowledge base with OpenAI GPT-4o-mini

## Quick Overview This workflow powers a support chat experience that uses an OpenAI RAG agent with in-memory vector search to answer questions from a knowledge base, and includes a manual ingestion flow that fetches an external FAQ document, splits it into chunks, embeds it with OpenAI, and stores it for retrieval. ## How it works 1. Triggers when a new chat message is received. 2. Uses an OpenAI chat model with conversation memory to generate a support reply while following the system support guidelines. 3. Creates OpenAI embeddings for the user’s query and searches an in-memory vector knowledge base for the top matching snippets. 4. Uses the retrieved knowledge base content as a tool to ground the final answer and returns the response to the chat. 5. When run manually, fetches FAQ content from a specified URL via HTTP. 6. Splits the fetched text into chunks, converts it into documents, generates OpenAI embeddings, and inserts the vectors into the in-memory knowledge base for future queries. ## Setup 1. Add OpenAI credentials for both chat completions (GPT-4o-mini) and embeddings. 2. Update the source URL in the HTTP Request step (currently https://example.com/help-center/faq.txt) to point to your real FAQ/knowledge base content. 3. Run the manual ingestion flow once to populate the in-memory knowledge base before testing the chat trigger.
