Icons describe general node roles, inferred from node types. Inspect the parameters for the configured action.
Drag to pan; use + and − to zoom. Reconstructed from the exported node positions; nothing runs here. Dashed lines represent non-main connections. Full node names and notes appear below.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| When clicking ‘Test workflow’ | Trigger | Manual Trigger | See node parameters |
| Google Drive | Files / media | Google Drive | download |
| When chat message received | Trigger | Chat Trigger | See node parameters |
| Window Buffer Memory | Data store | Memory Buffer Window | See node parameters |
| OpenAI | AI & models | Open Ai | assistant / create |
| OpenAI2 | AI & models | Open Ai | file |
| OpenAI1 | AI & models | Open Ai | assistant / update |
| OpenAI Assistent | AI & models | Open Ai | assistant |
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.
