Hello Experts, I am newbie to N8N, I build my 1st workflow leveraging AI Agent, which takes prompt input from a chat box (manual input) and using Gemini LLM posts output to my LinkedIn as post. and it worked after some rounds of error 403 on LinkedIn node! Now I want to automate it, so that instead of chat box manual input, the AI Agent (Gemini supported) would read the prompt from an Excel or CSV File (say in column-A, at given time stamps in columb-B) and posts automatically on LinkedIN. I could add Excel node as input to AI Agent, didn’t give any error but not processing output to post on linkedIN (like it worked with manual input), how to fix that?

Hey @Neil_Nileshkumar !

Try create your own topic, instead hijacking a thread that is used for another purpose!

Cheers!

That’s great! I have recently completed Level 1 and will be moving on to Level 2. I expect to have several questions during workflow creation, and I am glad I can use this platform - particularly the “Help Me Build My Workflow” feature; for guidance.

Just automated a workflow where a new product photo in Shopify triggers an AI video generator. 10 minutes from ‘Photo’ to ‘Video Ad.’ The tech is finally at a point where solo founders can be able to compete with big agencies.

It’s a good Idea for learning….

Help me build my Workflow should focus on design and Architecture, but, troubleshooting is another concern… so, I agree with you

Great!

I can’t agree with you anymore!

Hi, I’m new to the community! I would love any advice on the best practices to get started?

Hi everyone,
I’m building an n8n workflow connected to a chatbot and I’m looking for advice on structuring it correctly.

Goal

• Handle chatbot conversations

• Automatically route users into two flows:

  • Sales (clients requesting services)

  • Drivers (independent drivers applying)

• Log every message

• Save structured data into an existing Excel file (no new files or sheets)

What I need help with

• Best way to manage conversation state (conversation_id, steps)

• How to ensure every message is logged without duplicating logic

• Recommended workflow structure to keep it clean and scalable

Here is a bit of insight, I’m seeing it pop up lately so might as well share it.

I used this to create my workflows when I was still using make.com days.

Explain the workflow in ,much detail, naturally, post it to claude.ai to write you a json copy and paste to get you started.

I haven’t used it for n8n yet, but then again I like building them out naturally now.

I have been using ai to learn alot more when it come’s to coding / servers.

Leverage Ai, think smarter by asking better quality questions.
Just my two cents.

That’s a good approach but I’ve found it works better to not jump straight into JSON.

First, break the workflow down in simple steps (trigger → get data → process → format → send). Then use AI to help with the logic and structure, not just to generate code.

After that, either generate parts with AI or build it directly in n8n.
