About This Workflow
Overview
This n8n workflow automates the process of retrieving specific images based on a user's intent. It leverages the power of AI, specifically the Langchain node with a GPT-4.1-mini model, to understand the user's request and query a Google Sheet acting as an image database. The workflow is triggered when executed by another workflow, allowing for seamless integration into larger automation processes.
It solves the problem of manually searching for images within a collection and provides an automated, intelligent way to access them. The use of a structured output parser ensures that the AI's findings are easily digestible and usable by subsequent nodes. Finally, the workflow retrieves the actual image file from Google Drive and sends it to a specified chat via Telegram, making it a complete image delivery solution.
Key Features
- Utilizes Langchain agent for intelligent image searching.
- Connects to Google Sheets for a dynamic image database.
- Supports image retrieval via Google Drive.
- Integrates with Telegram to send retrieved images.
- Structured output parsing for reliable AI responses.
- Triggered by other workflows for flexible automation.
How To Use
- Configure Trigger: Set up the 'When Executed by Another Workflow' node to define the inputs (intent, image reference, chat ID).
- Set Up AI Agent: Configure the 'Image Search Agent' with the GPT-4.1-mini model and define the system prompt to instruct the AI on its role and output format.
- Connect Image Database: Link the 'Image Database' node to your Google Sheet containing image information (name, ID, link).
- Implement Output Parsing: Use the 'Name, ID, & Link' node to parse the AI's output into a structured format.
- Add Conditional Logic: Employ the 'Not Found?' and 'Get?' IF nodes to handle cases where an image is not found or to proceed with retrieval.
- Configure Google Drive: Set up the 'Download File' node with your Google Drive credentials and the logic to extract the file ID from the AI's output.
- Send via Telegram: Configure the 'Send Photo' node with your Telegram credentials and the appropriate chat ID to deliver the retrieved image.
