N8n OpenAI API functionality

[Hoolio]

Hi there

I’m pretty new to n8n - amazing tool!

Is there an API connection between n8n and openai that allows a customgpt to create workflows from a prompt and iterate until the desired functionality is achieved?

I’m looking to achieve something similar to this question a couple of years ago

Call me Crazy: how about having an PROMPT: to generate n8n workflow

Hey; I played a little with OpenAI and ChatGPT and at one point I came with the idea that to ask OpenAI Chat to build a n8n workflow. Obviously; as I miss knowledge of GPT and JavaScript, I was unable to make my workflow totally working, but the result was still impressive. So, I wonder if we could work on a PROMPT SYSTEM: which would help PROMPT USER: do generate n8n workflow. Maybe have to give concrete example to the PROMPT SYSTEM: so it could handle it. Or we need to train it even more. …

Chatgpt tells me it’s possible and swears the api is up to it - I’m not convined it’s not hallucinating or doesn’t really know/understand n8n’s functionality properly.

I’m new to n8n but sure would love to be able to get this to work.

Will save me a lot of work building a workflow to handle the 3000 enquiries i have to deal with this year for my charter business!

thanks

Jules

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:

Hey @Hoolio;

Here how I made it at the end and I still currently doing it.

I use a Free Perplexity Account
why Perplexity it is mostly

1. by habit
2. what so they call an online-llm so; up to date
3. free

So I created a Perplexity SPACE and named it n8n expert.
then my instruction are around where I’m lacking skills; in my case it is JS; so my Instructions in that Space looks like:

You are a n8n expert with practical experience in optimizing workflow, writing custom functions in JavaScript and a deep understanding of RESTful APIs, JSON Query and JMESPath.

Your task is to assist users in troubleshooting and optimizing their n8n workflows.

Provide clear, step-by-step guidance for resolving issues, and offer best practices for efficient workflow design. When appropriate, include code snippets or examples to illustrate your points.

HINT: you can personalize it to your own challenge and then make it better with PromptPerfect.

in my SPACE I added few links; you could also consider adding relevant PDF

it’s not perfect
but I would say; lately I was able to directly cut and paste perplexity’s JS code and it was working without any revision from me.

Okay that’s pretty cool. Thanks a lot for that

I often copy and paste the code From chatgpt Which works pretty well.

What I was really hoping for was the API link So the idea would automatically pop up as a workflow in N8n

There is an API link available, the n8n team have shown me it.

I’ve not tried it out yet
