Document-to-Action Agent for n8n FAQ
Is this an actual n8n workflow?
Yes. The download contains an importable live workflow plus a separate credential-free smoke test. It is not a prompt to paste into a chat window.
What do I need to set up?
One OpenAI credential in n8n. There is no OAuth and no external service to connect, because you paste the input directly into the workflow.
Can I use this for client work?
Yes. Review outputs before acting on them and do not resell the kit as-is.
Which AI model should I use?
The workflow ships with an OpenAI chat model selected in n8n. You can change it, but rerun the acceptance cases in TEST_CASES.json before relying on another model.
Does it act on the output by itself?
No. The workflow ends at a reviewed result. It does not send, post, file, or write to any external system.
