n8n AI Business Workflows

Production-ready n8n workflows that combine AI with real business automation. Built from workflows running actual businesses, not tutorials.

Every workflow in this collection has been extracted from live business operations — lead generation, property management, client onboarding, SEO monitoring, and more. They've been generalised and documented so you can import them into your own n8n instance and adapt them to your business.

Why This Exists

Most n8n template repositories are either:

• Generic "hello world" examples that don't reflect real usage
• Overly specific to one SaaS tool with no AI integration
• Theoretical workflows that have never processed a real transaction

This repo is different. Every workflow here has been battle-tested in production environments — processing real leads, managing real properties, generating real reports, and handling real compliance requirements. The AI integration isn't bolted on as a gimmick; it's the core of what makes these workflows valuable.

Workflow Categories

1. Lead Scoring — AI-Powered Lead Qualification

Incoming lead → AI analyses fit against your Ideal Customer Profile → scores and routes to CRM pipeline stages automatically.

2. Client Onboarding — Automated Onboarding Sequences

New client trigger → welcome email → task creation in project management → document generation → CRM status update. End-to-end onboarding without manual steps.

3. SEO Monitoring — Automated SEO Tracking & Reporting

Scheduled crawl → rank tracking → AI analysis of ranking changes → alert on significant drops → weekly summary report delivered to stakeholders.

4. Social Media — AI Content Generation & Scheduling

Content brief → AI generates platform-specific copy (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) → image generation → schedule to platforms via API or CRM.

5. Email Triage — AI Email Classification & Response Drafting

Incoming email → AI classifies intent (spam / important / action-required) → drafts contextual response → routes to appropriate inbox folder or team member.

6. Reporting — Automated Business Reporting

Data pull from multiple sources (CRM, analytics, financials) → AI summarises trends and anomalies → generates formatted report → distributes to stakeholders on schedule.

7. Property Management — Short-Term Rental Automation

Guest message → AI-powered response in guest's language → dynamic pricing update triggers → cleaning schedule coordination → post-checkout review requests.

8. Compliance Tracking — Health & Government Compliance

Document expiry monitoring → staff notification with escalation chain → compliance dashboard update → audit trail logging. Built for industries with strict regulatory requirements.

Prerequisites

n8n Version

• n8n v1.60+ recommended (self-hosted or cloud)
• Some workflows use AI nodes introduced in v1.40+

API Keys You May Need

Depending on which workflows you import, you'll need credentials for some or all of:

Service	What For	Required By
Claude API (Anthropic)	AI analysis, classification, content generation	Most workflows
OpenAI API	Alternative AI model support	Some workflows
CRM API (e.g. GoHighLevel, HubSpot)	Contact management, pipeline automation	Lead Scoring, Onboarding, Social Media
Google Search Console	SEO rank data	SEO Monitoring
Google Analytics 4	Traffic and engagement data	SEO Monitoring, Reporting
Gmail / IMAP	Email access	Email Triage
Telegram Bot Token	Alert notifications	Multiple workflows
Google Sheets	Data storage and reporting	Reporting, Compliance
Supabase	Database storage	Reporting, Compliance
Property Management System (e.g. Guesty)	Booking and guest data	Property Management

n8n Node Conventions

These workflows follow strict n8n conventions to avoid common issues:

• Node names contain NO spaces (spaces in node names cause 404 webhook errors)
• IF nodes use v1 (typeVersion: 1), not v2
• Conditional routing uses chained IF v1 nodes, not Switch v3 (which is unreliable via API)
• Telegram trigger nodes use typeVersion: 1

How to Import Workflows

Method 1: Manual Import (Recommended)

1. Download the .json workflow file from the relevant category folder
2. Open your n8n instance
3. Click the "..." menu in the top-right → Import from File
4. Select the downloaded JSON file
5. Configure your credentials for each node (API keys, OAuth tokens, etc.)
6. Activate the workflow

Method 2: Via n8n API

# Import a workflow via the n8n REST API
curl -X POST "https://your-n8n-instance.com/api/v1/workflows" \
  -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: your-api-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @path/to/workflow.json

Method 3: Copy & Paste

1. Open the .json file and copy its entire contents
2. In n8n, press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V) on the canvas
3. The workflow nodes will appear — connect any missing links
4. Configure credentials

After Importing

1. Update all credentials — workflows are exported without credential values
2. Review webhook URLs — update any URLs to match your domain
3. Test with sample data before activating in production
4. Check environment-specific values — IDs, API endpoints, folder paths
