# N8N Workflow Skill

## Overview

This skill enables document workflow automation using **n8n** - the most popular workflow automation platform with 7800+ community templates. Chain document operations, integrate with 400+ apps, and build complex document pipelines.

## How to Use

- Describe what you want to accomplish

- Provide any required input data or files

- I'll execute the appropriate operations

**Example prompts:**

- "Automate PDF → OCR → Translation → Email workflow"

- "Watch folder for new contracts → Review → Notify Slack"

- "Daily report generation from multiple data sources"

- "Batch document processing with conditional logic"

## Domain Knowledge

### n8n Fundamentals

n8n uses a node-based workflow approach:

```
Trigger → Action → Action → Output
   │         │         │
   └─────────┴─────────┴── Data flows between nodes

```

### Key Node Types

Type
Examples
Use Case

**Triggers**
Webhook, Schedule, File Watcher
Start workflow

**Document**
Read PDF, Write DOCX, OCR
Process files

**Transform**
Code, Set, Merge
Manipulate data

**Output**
Email, Slack, Google Drive
Deliver results

### Workflow Example: Contract Review Pipeline

```
{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "name": "Watch Folder",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.localFileTrigger",
      "parameters": {
        "path": "/contracts/incoming",
        "events": ["add"]
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "Extract Text",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.readPdf"
    },
    {
      "name": "AI Review",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.anthropic",
      "parameters": {
        "model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
        "prompt": "Review this contract for risks..."
      }
    },
    {
      "name": "Save Report",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.writeFile"
    },
    {
      "name": "Notify Team",
      "type": "n8n-nodes-base.slack"
    }
  ]
}

```

### Self-Hosting vs Cloud

Option
Pros
Cons

**Self-hosted**
Free, full control, data privacy
Maintenance required

**n8n Cloud**
No setup, auto-updates
Costs at scale

```
# Docker quick start
docker run -it --rm \
  -p 5678:5678 \
  -v ~/.n8n:/home/node/.n8n \
  n8nio/n8n

```

## Best Practices

- **Start with existing templates, customize as needed**

- **Use error handling nodes for reliability**

- **Store credentials securely with n8n's credential manager**

- **Test workflows with sample data before production**

## Installation

```
# Install required dependencies
pip install python-docx openpyxl python-pptx reportlab jinja2

```
