Integration with Angular frontend & c# .net 8 backend

Questions
1

I was on Youtube and found the topic ’ How to Chat With PDFs using Pinecone and n8n’. simply the workflow seemed like a good thing for my Angular 18 frontend and my c# .net 8 backend app.
can someone outline how I can use n8n in my application.
I understand the upload to a google drive, as a 1st part. I am amazed with the 2nd step to do the embedding as part of the work flow. I am also interested with the testing of the workflow so that changes, etc. are tested.

Yes it probably involves embedding, which is crazy expensive for this startup company. I am still interested in a solution, if someone know how todo.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hi @murphymj5209

Thanks for posting here and welcome to the community! :tada:

You can run n8n as a standalone instance. The Google Drive Trigger for example then only needs a callback url of your n8n instance.

Have a look in our self-host documentation:

Please share your concrete workflow if you run into any particular issues.

Tip for sharing your workflow in the forum

Pasting your n8n workflow

Ensure to copy your n8n workflow and paste it in the code block, that is in between the pairs of triple backticks, which also could be achieved by clicking </> (preformatted text) in the editor and pasting in your workflow.

```
<your workflow>
```

Make sure that you’ve removed any sensitive information from your workflow and include dummy data or pinned data as much as you can!
