Setup

  1. Download the JSON and import it into an isolated n8n instance. Leave the workflow inactive.
  2. Connect your own credentials through n8n’s credential store. Replace REPLACE_WITH_* values with your resource identifiers.
  3. Inspect API destinations, Code nodes, database queries, file paths, and outbound actions.
  4. 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.

Credential types declared in the source

  • notionApi
  • openAiApi

Written set up steps

  1. Add a Notion credential to your n8n workspace (follow this Notion guide)
  2. Duplicate Company knowledge base Notion template to your Notion workspace, then make sure to share the new knowledge base with connection you created in Step 1.
  3. Add Notion cred to Get database details:Credential to connect with parameter, then to Search notion database:Notion API parameter (same for Search inside database record)
  4. Add OpenAI credential to Open AI Chat Model node (tested and working with Anthropic Claude 3.5 too)
  5. In Get database details, select the db you created from Step 2 in Database dropdown.
  6. Click Chat button to test the workflow. Then Activate it and copy the Chat URL from When chat message received.
