How to Build a Simple AI Agent Workflow with n8n

## What you will build A workflow that watches a form submission, uses AI to categorize it, and posts a summary to Slack. ## Step 1: Create a new workflow Start a blank workflow from your n8n dashboard. ## Step 2: Add a trigger node Add a form submission trigger or webhook node. ## Step 3: Add an AI Agent node Connect it to your trigger, configure a prompt like "categorize this submission and summarize it in one sentence." ## Step 4: Connect your AI model Add your AI provider's API key in the node settings. ## Step 5: Add an action node Add a Slack node using the AI Agent's output as the message. ## Step 6: Test the workflow Use n8n's test feature with sample data before activating. ## Step 7: Activate and monitor Activate the workflow, review the execution log for past runs. ## Expanding from here This pattern generalizes to categorizing tickets, summarizing emails, or triaging feedback.
