N8N Multi-Agent Flow

Questions
1

I have a flow in N8N where a primary agent is connected to another agent whose role is to send 10 questions to the user and generate a report.
In other words, the user contacts the primary agent, and they choose option 1 to speak to the secondary agent to initiate the service.
The problem is that at a certain point, instead of directing requests to the secondary agent, the primary agent consults their own memory node and asks the user questions, instead of directing the request to the secondary agent.
I’m using this flow, but I’ve tried it with the call node n8n workflow tool, and the same behavior occurs.
Is there a way to force the primary agent to bypass their memory node and direct all requests to the secondary agent?

Hey! You need to be extremely explicit in your instructions using words such as never and only when you explain to the first agent that it needs to redirect questions to the second agent.

It’s always down to prompt and how you direct the agents to use the tools. Often requires a lot of testing and they can still be a bit random after certain conditions.

Hi,

My first attempt was exactly this, using the prompt. I’ll try to be even more specific.

Thanks.
