This n8n workflow assists property managers and surveyors by reducing the time and effort it takes to complete property inventory surveys. In such surveys, articles and goods within a property may need to be captured and reported as a matter of record. This can take a sizable amount of time if the property or number of items is big enough. Our solution is to delegate this task to a capable AI Agent who can identify and fill out the details of each item automatically. How it works An AirTable Base is used to capture just the image of an item within the property Our workflow monitoring this AirTable Base sends the photo to an AI image recognition model to describe the item for purpose of identification. Our AI agent uses this description and the help of Google's reverse image search in an attempt to find an online product page for the item. If found, the product page is scraped for the item's specifications which are then used to fill out the rest of the details of the item in our Airtable. Requirements Airtable for capturing photos and product information OpenAI account to for image recognition service and AI for agent SerpAPI account for google reverse image search.

See all AI Automation→Run a multimodal WhatsApp AI assistant with OpenAI for text, voice and images
Quick overview This workflow turns WhatsApp into a multimodal assistant that answers text, voice notes, images, and PDF documents using OpenAI, and can generate images with DALL·E on demand, replying back in WhatsApp with either text, audio, or an image. How it works Triggers when a new WhatsApp message is received. Detects whether the incoming message is text, a voice note, an image, a PDF document, or an unsupported type. For text messages, generates an image with OpenAI DALL·E when the message starts with the configured /image command, and sends the generated image back to the sender. For voice notes, fetches the WhatsApp media URL, downloads the audio, transcribes it with OpenAI, and forwards the transcript to the assistant. For images, fetches the WhatsApp media URL, downloads the image, describes it with OpenAI vision using the configured analysis prompt, and forwards the description (plus any caption) to the assistant. For PDF documents, downloads the file from WhatsApp, extracts the PDF text, and forwards the extracted content (plus any caption) to the assistant, while non-PDF files receive an error message. Uses an OpenAI chat model with per-contact short-term memory to ge
Handle WhatsApp support text and voice messages with OpenAI GPT-5 Mini
Quick overview This workflow responds to incoming WhatsApp Business messages, handling both text and voice notes by transcribing audio with OpenAI and replying with an OpenAI chat agent that uses per-contact conversation memory and answers only from the business information you provide. How it works Triggers when a new WhatsApp message is received. Routes the incoming message by type, sending text messages directly to the support flow, audio messages to a voice-transcription flow, and other message types to a fallback reply. For voice notes, retrieves the WhatsApp media URL, downloads the audio file, and transcribes it to text with OpenAI. Sends the customer’s text (original or transcribed) to an OpenAI chat agent configured to answer only using your provided business information. Stores and reuses a per-contact conversation history keyed by the sender’s WhatsApp number to maintain context across messages. Sends the agent’s response back to the customer as a WhatsApp text message. Setup Connect WhatsApp Business Cloud credentials for both receiving messages (trigger) and sending replies, and ensure your WhatsApp webhook is configured to point to the trigger URL.

Answer customer questions on WhatsApp with OpenAI, Gmail, and Google Sheets
Quick overview This workflow answers incoming WhatsApp customer questions using an OpenAI-powered agent that reads your live website via HTTP requests, escalates unclear or sensitive cases to your support team via Gmail, and logs each conversation to Google Sheets. How it works Triggers when a new WhatsApp message is received. Loads configuration values (company name, website root URL, AI model, language rules, escalation email, and WhatsApp phone number ID) and extracts the customer phone number and message text. Ignores non-text WhatsApp updates (such as images, audio, and status messages). Uses OpenAI with conversation memory to navigate your website by listing links and fetching relevant pages, then generates a structured result containing an answer, escalation flag, sentiment, topic, and source URLs. If the agent marks the request as needing a human, sends an escalation email via Gmail to your support address with the customer details and the drafted reply. Sends the final plain-text reply back to the customer on WhatsApp. Appends the conversation details to a Google Sheets log.
