How it works
The exported workflow contains the following configured nodes. Their connections are shown above; inspect the JSON for the complete logic, expressions, and external actions.
| Node | Category | Type | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI Chat Model | AI & models | OpenAI Chat Model | See node parameters |
| Search notion database | Web / API | Tool Http Request | POST |
| Get database details | Integration | Notion | database |
| Window Buffer Memory | Data store | Memory Buffer Window | See node parameters |
| Search inside database record | Web / API | Tool Http Request | See node parameters |
| Format schema | Transform | Edit Fields | See node parameters |
| AI Agent | AI & models | Agent | See node parameters |
| When chat message received | Trigger | Chat Trigger | See node parameters |
Setup
- Download the JSON and import it into an isolated n8n instance. Leave the workflow inactive.
- Connect your own credentials through n8n’s credential store. Replace
REPLACE_WITH_*values with your resource identifiers. - Inspect API destinations, Code nodes, database queries, file paths, and outbound actions.
- Run with synthetic data and harmless destinations. Enable triggers only after checking the actual outputs.
Requirements
An n8n instance with the listed node types and compatible versions. Service-connected workflows may require accounts, credentials, or paid APIs.
