Hey lovely n8n community.
I’ve got a question that’s not 100% n8n related, but hoping that some of you might have faced similar questions.
I’m looking for a self hosted chat that can also handle attachments and can pass these attachments in any way to n8n.
I have tried mattermost but unfortunately the attachments are not sent via the webhook.
Here my requirements:
if possible it should be self hosted
support attachments (photos via Smartphone) that are sent via Webhook or other way to n8n.
a possibility to send a message to the chat even without it being triggered by the chat node.
Notifications would be great
Something working like telegram would be great but since it’s going to be a chat for my kids I do not want to use telegram.
The n8n chat itself is great but I have the problem that I don’t have notifications or the possibility to send a message without it being triggered by the initial chat from the user.
Does anyone have a rocket chat running and knows if this would work?
I know I know I could just stick a piece of paper to the fridge and list the chores they have to do on that paper instead of creating agents and using AI … but this is more fun.
Thanks, the file upload works fine and I’m already using that.
One of my main issues is I can’t send multiple answers to the chat node, like from steps that happen before the final answer.
Another think I would like is to be able to send messages based on some other triggers, like a schedule where n8n would send a message to the chat which should trigger a notification for example.
You can try Typebot its pefect match to all your requirements but if you looking for similar like rocketchat because you want human interaction chatting too then you can try Chatwoot
nice, that’s great! So far, most of my WhatsApp chatbot projects use n8n & Typebot, and my advice is to really dig into its API integrations. They are incredibly powerful for reducing your AI budget and letting you loop specific AI agent flows within certain workflows.
