5 N8N Workflows Worth Stealing

Automation shouldn't feel abstract. These N8N workflows solve real problems—the kind you'd actually want running quietly in the background while you focus on bigger things.

Each handles complex, multi-step processes that would otherwise consume hours of manual work. Here's what caught our attention.

1. SDR Agent: Chat-to-Lead Capture

This workflow replaces static web forms with an AI conversation that collects prospect information, validates data, checks for duplicates in Salesforce, and triggers automated follow-up sequences.

The value is in making data collection feel natural. Prospects engage with a conversation instead of filling out fields, which improves conversion rates while ensuring zero leads fall through the cracks.

2. Social Media Content Machine

Generates platform-specific content for X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, and YouTube Shorts—complete with images, approval workflows, and automated publishing.

If content creation is your bottleneck, this handles research, writing, image generation, and cross-platform optimization in one automated pipeline. You review and approve; the system handles everything else.

3. LinkedIn Scraper + Cold Outreach

Builds prospect lists from Apollo.io searches, enriches them with company research, generates personalized outreach messages, and feeds qualified leads directly into email campaigns.

This transforms prospecting from a manual, time-intensive process into a systematic pipeline. The personalization layer means outreach doesn't read like a mail merge.

4. WhatsApp AI Customer Support

Provides 24/7 customer support through WhatsApp by answering questions from your knowledge base, handling conversation context, and managing the platform's messaging windows.

Useful for teams drowning in repetitive support questions. The system handles the volume while your team focuses on complex issues requiring human judgment.

5. Agentic RAG System

Creates an intelligent knowledge base that performs vector searches, SQL queries, and document retrieval based on question type.

The intelligence here is in routing—the system determines whether a question needs semantic search across documents, a structured query against a database, or a combination. Handles mixed content types without manual configuration per query.
