This n8n template builds upon a simple appointment request form design which uses AI to qualify if the incoming enquiry is suitable and/or time-worthy of an appointment. This demonstrates a lighter approach to using AI in your templates but handles a technically difficult problem - contextual understanding! This example can be used in a variety of contexts where figuring out what is and isn't relevant can save a lot of time for your organisation. How it works We start with a form trigger which asks for the purpose of the appointment. Instantly, we can qualify this by using a text classifier node which uses AI's contextual understanding to ensure the appointment is worthwhile. If not, an alternative is suggested instead. Multi-page forms are then used to set the terms of the appointment and ask the user for a desired date and time. An acknowledgement is sent to the user while an approval by email process is triggered in the background. In a subworkflow, we use Gmail with the wait for approval operation to send an approval form to the admin user who can either confirm or decline the appointment request. When approved, a Google Calendar event is created.

The purpose of this n8n workflow is to automate the process of identifying incoming Gmail emails that are requesting an appointment, evaluating their content, checking calendar availability, and then composing and sending a response email. Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.
Run AI employee onboarding with Groq, Google Workspace, and Gemini
Quick overview This workflow ingests onboarding documents from Google Drive into an in-memory vector store with Google Gemini embeddings, then runs a multi-channel onboarding chatbot powered by Groq, sends role-based welcome emails via Gmail when a new hire appears in Google Sheets, and schedules day 1/7/30 check-in emails. How it works Manually runs an ingestion flow that lists files in a specified Google Drive folder, downloads them, extracts text, and indexes them into an in-memory vector store using Google Gemini embeddings. Receives employee questions via n8n Chat (and optionally Slack or Telegram), normalizes the message into a single format, and rejects empty or overly long inputs. Uses a Groq LLM agent with per-user session memory to retrieve relevant excerpts from the in-memory company_docs knowledge base and generate a grounded answer, or directs the user to HR when no relevant content is found. Routes the assistant’s response back to the originating channel (n8n Chat, and optionally Slack or Telegram). Triggers every minute on updates to a Google Sheets “Hires” sheet, validates rows marked as Hired, and skips hires already present in the “Tracking” sheet. Builds a depart
AI: Summarize podcast episode and enhance using Wikipedia
The workflow automates the process of creating a summarized and enriched podcast digest, which is then sent via email. Note that to use this template, you need to be on n8n version 1.19.4 or later.
