# Build an n8n AI chatbot with memory and email escalation

**Use case:** 

Generates an n8n AI Agent workflow: a Chat Trigger, an agent with window-buffer memory on an OpenAI chat model, and a Gmail tool the agent can call to escalate to your support team. The sub-nodes are wired the way n8n expects - one chat model, one memory, the tool as a tool - so the JSON imports without a red marker. Attach OpenAI and Gmail credentials after import.

## Input

```json
{
  "prompt": "A customer support chatbot: when a chat message arrives, an AI agent with conversation memory answers using an OpenAI chat model, and it can send an email through Gmail to the support team when the customer asks to escalate."
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "workflowName": {
    "label": "Workflow",
    "format": "text"
  },
  "valid": {
    "label": "Valid",
    "format": "boolean"

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [n8n Workflow Generator - Prompt to Importable JSON](https://apify.com/mediocre_interest/n8n-workflow-builder.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/mediocre_interest/n8n-workflow-builder.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
