1.1 Workflow description

Title: Create recurring AI-powered data digests in Slack with Super Assistant
Workflow name: Create recurring AI-powered data digests in Slack with Super Assistant

Stop the daily grind of checking multiple apps just to stay updated. This template automates the creation of recurring digests by querying a powerful AI assistant you build on the Super platform.

First, create an assistant in Super (https://super.work/) and connect it to all your key data sources like Notion, Jira, Slack, and HubSpot.

Then, use this n8n workflow to ask it a specific question on a recurring schedule (e.g., "What was the progress on our key projects yesterday?").

The workflow delivers a concise, AI-generated summary directly to a Slack channel of your choice. It's the easiest way to get the information that matters most, without the manual work.

Who is this for?

Team leads & managers: Get automated daily or weekly reports on project progress, sales performance, or customer support trends without having to chase down information.
Operations teams: Monitor key business activities by receiving automated summaries from various sources in a single, convenient message.
Anyone overwhelmed by information: Replace manual check-ins across multiple platforms with a single, intelligent digest tailored to your needs.

What problem does this solve?

Eliminates manual reporting: Frees you from the repetitive, time-consuming task of gathering updates from different tools every day.
Centralizes key insights: Delivers crucial information from all your connected apps (via your Super assistant) into a single, easy-to-read Slack message.
Saves time and improves focus: Start your day with a concise, actionable summary instead of context-switching between numerous tabs and dashboards.
Makes powerful, data-connected AI accessible: Simplifies the process of querying a sophisticated AI assistant on a recurring basis to get answers from your own company's data.

How it works

First, in Super: The process starts on the Super platform (https://super.work/), where you create a new assistant. You'll define its purpose with a prompt and connect it to your live data sources (e.g., your Jira projects, Notion databases, etc.).
Scheduled trigger: The n8n workflow runs automatically on a schedule you define (e.g., every weekday morning at 8:30 AM).
Define the recurring query: A Set node holds the specific question you want to ask your Super assistant each time the workflow runs.
Query the Super assistant: An HTTP Request node sends this query, along with your unique assistant ID, to the Super API.
Deliver the digest to Slack: Your Super assistant generates an answer based on the live data it can access. The workflow then formats this answer and posts it as a clear, concise message in your designated Slack channel.

Setup

Set up your Super assistant (Prerequisite): First, go to Super, create an assistant, connect it to your data sources, and copy its Assistant ID and your API Token.
Configure the query: In the Set query node, write the question you want to ask your assistant on a recurring basis (e.g., "Summarize all new deals created in HubSpot yesterday.").
Connect to the Super API: In the Query Super Assistant (HTTP Request) node:
- Paste your Assistant ID into the assistantId field in the body.
- Add your Super API Token for authentication. We recommend creating a "Generic Credential" of type "Bearer Token" for this.
Connect Slack: In the Send digest in Slack node, select your Slack account and choose the channel where you want the digest to be posted.
Set the schedule: Adjust the Schedule Trigger to your desired frequency and time.
Activate the workflow, and your automated digests will start arriving as scheduled!

Taking it further

Change the destination: Not a Slack user? Easily swap the Slack node for an Email node to send the digest to your inbox, or a Google Sheets node to log all digests over time.
Create dynamic queries: Use n8n's expression editor in the Set query node to make your questions dynamic. For example, you could automatically insert yesterday's date into the query each day.
Build multi-step reports: Chain multiple HTTP Request nodes to ask your Super assistant several different questions, then combine all the answers into a single, more comprehensive report.

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

Detect semantic duplicate website pages with Google Drive, Postgres and Ollama

## Quick overview This workflow scans HTML files in a Google Drive folder, extracts and stores page text in Postgres, generates local vector embeddings with Ollama, and uses PGVector similarity searches to produce CSV reports that flag semantically duplicate website pages. ## How it works 1. Starts manually and clears the existing PGVector embeddings table and the scraped page text table in Postgres. 2. Lists files in a specified Google Drive folder, filters to the target documents, and processes them in batches. 3. Downloads each HTML file from Google Drive, extracts the main body text, cleans it, and upserts the results into a Postgres table for scraped pages. 4. Reads the scraped page text back from Postgres in batches, splits it into overlapping chunks, and attaches page metadata (sheet_id, file_name, file_url) to each chunk. 5. Generates embeddings locally with Ollama and inserts the chunk vectors and metadata into Postgres (PGVector), deduplicating already-processed pages. 6. Builds an HNSW index in Postgres, computes chunk-to-chunk similarity matches and a pairwise page report, and exports the results as a CSV file. 7. Computes page-level centroid embeddings, finds highly similar page pairs, and exports a page-level duplicate report as a CSV file. ## Setup 1. Add Google Drive OAuth2 credentials and set the Google Drive folder URL/ID used to scan for your HTML files. 2. Add Postgres credentials for a database with the pgvector extension enabled and permissions to create/alter tables and indexes (including HNSW indexes). 3. Add an Ollama credential and ensure the embedding model mxbai-embed-large:latest is available on your Ollama instance. 4. Confirm your source files are HTML documents and that the workflow’s text extraction and similarity thresholds match your content and desired duplicate sensitivity. ## Requirements - Working instance of n8n, either self-hosted or on the cloud. Remember, this workflow can be computationally expensive. - Google Drive API (with OAuth setup in n8n credentials section) - Ollama (for open source models) or any Embedding model API - PostgreSQL with PGVector or any other vector database - PgAdmin (for PostgreSQL) or your interface to access database tables via SQL for troubleshooting (optional). ## Additional info Limitations and Enhancements: Physical system memory mxbai-embed-large Running through Ollama is free and private, but the embedding generation speed depends entirely on your hardware. The more system memory you have, the more data you can process in batches in the loop node. Similarity threshold and boilerplate content The cosine distance used in this workflow is 0.15 for chunk-level matching. And 0.05 (similarity above 95%) of the threshold is used for page-level centroid matching. This is only the starting point. Once you have the data, and especially if your data has more noise, you might need to tweak these thresholds for better matching. This workflow needs HTML files to extract text This workflow doesn't crawl a website or fetch pages by entering a URL. You need to download HTML files (rendered or source) for consumption. Use parallel processing and Cloud APIs Two sub-processes take the most time: Downloading HTML files from Google Drive Creating vector embeddings If you can use parallel processing in n8n and execute these sub-processes in parallel, the process will be done much faster. Additionally, if you can use cloud APIs for embedding, it may save some you some processing time as well. Use efficient SQL queries Since I am from a non-tech background and not a coder, I used a mix of Gemini, Perplexity and Claude to create SQL codes for this workflow. If you're better at it, you can run computationally efficient queries that would help you achieve better results with less computation expense and time.

Answer BigQuery questions in Microsoft Teams with Claude 3.5 dual agents

## Quick overview Turn Microsoft Teams into a natural language BI tool. This dual-agent Claude workflow intelligently classifies user questions, generates safe BigQuery SQL, executes the query, and returns a plain-English summary alongside a data preview directly to your Teams channel. ## How it works 1. The workflow listens for new messages in a designated Microsoft Teams channel or chat. 2. It checks a 24-hour static data cache for your BigQuery schema. If the cache is missing or expired, it automatically fetches the latest INFORMATION_SCHEMA metadata. 3. A main Claude 3.5 Sonnet agent classifies the user's intent (analytical, conversational, or unsafe) and identifies the relevant database tables. 4. If the intent is analytical, a specialized Claude SQL sub-agent generates a read-only SELECT query tailored exactly to your schema. 5. The workflow executes the query against BigQuery (safely constrained to a maximum of 100 rows). 6. A final Claude agent translates the raw query results into a concise, plain-English summary. 7. The answer is posted back to Teams as an Adaptive Card, complete with a formatted data preview and the generated SQL code. 8. Non-analytical questions or pipeline errors are intelligently routed to receive standard conversational replies in Teams. ## Setup 1. CRITICAL SECURITY: Restrict your Google Cloud Service Account IAM roles to BigQuery Data Viewer and BigQuery Job User ONLY. Do not use a highly privileged account. 2. Configure your Microsoft Teams trigger and posting credentials, specifying the target team and channel for the bot to operate in. 3. Configure your Google BigQuery credentials to allow reading metadata and executing queries. 4. Configure your Anthropic credentials for the three Claude LangChain nodes. 5. Update the "Configure Variables" node with your specific GCP Project ID and BigQuery Dataset ID. ## Requirements - A Google Cloud project with BigQuery enabled and existing structured datasets. - An Anthropic API key with access to the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model. - Microsoft Teams administrator access to authorize the n8n integration. ## Customization - Distributed Environments: If you are running n8n with multiple worker nodes (Queue Mode), you must swap the $getWorkflowStaticData() schema cache logic to read/write from a dedicated Key-Value store (like Redis or Supabase) to ensure state synchronization. - UI Layout: Modify the Create Teams Adaptive Card node to add corporate branding, custom colors, or alter the FactSet data preview structure. ## Additional info This architecture features built-in pipeline protections, including strict 40,000-character payload limits to prevent LLM context window blowouts, and fallback handling for "zero-row" query results to ensure users are never left without a response.
