AI CV Screening Workflow
Automate your entire CV screening process from submission to initial AI analysis and HR notification with this powerful workflow. This n8n automation connects an Application Form trigger to Google Sheets and Gmail, streamlining candidate management. When a candidate submits their CV via the Application Form, the workflow converts the binary file to JSON, then uses the Google Gemini Chat Model via the AI Analysis & Rating node to intelligently analyze and rate the CV content. Simultaneously, it informs HR of the new CV received through Gmail and sends a Confirmation of CV Submission to the candidate, ensuring a professional and timely response. Finally, the AI analysis and rating are automatically added to your Candidate Lists in Google Sheets, providing a centralized and pre-screened database for your recruitment team. This workflow drastically reduces manual effort in CV processing, accelerates the initial screening phase, and ensures no application is overlooked, saving significant time and resources for HR departments and recruiters.

Automate your LinkedIn content creation and publishing by leveraging AI with this powerful workflow. This n8n automation connects LinkedIn, OpenAI, and Notion to streamline your social media presence. A Schedule Trigger initiates the process daily, querying your Notion database for today's scheduled posts. For each post, the workflow fetches all content from its Notion page, including text blocks and an image URL, then uses OpenAI to reformat the post text for optimal engagement. The workflow then combines the rephrased text and fetched image, publishing the complete post directly to LinkedIn. Finally, it updates the post's status in Notion to "Done," ensuring your content calendar remains accurate. This workflow is ideal for content creators, marketers, and businesses looking to maintain a consistent and engaging LinkedIn presence without manual effort, saving significant time on content preparation and publishing while ensuring high-quality, AI-enhanced posts.
Customer Support Channel and Ticketing System with Slack and Linear
Automate your customer support channel and ticketing system by efficiently managing incoming requests from Slack and creating structured tickets in Linear. This workflow connects Slack to capture customer inquiries, then leverages OpenAI's AI capabilities to understand and categorize these requests. It regularly polls Slack for new messages in a designated support channel using a Schedule Trigger, extracts key information, and checks Linear to see if similar issues already exist. If a new, unique issue is identified, the workflow uses OpenAI's language model to generate a comprehensive ticket description and then creates a new ticket in Linear, ensuring all relevant details are captured. This automation is ideal for customer support teams, product managers, and operations personnel who need to streamline their issue tracking, reduce manual data entry, and ensure no customer request falls through the cracks. It significantly reduces the time spent on triaging and creating support tickets, allowing teams to focus more on resolving customer issues rather than administrative tasks, ultimately improving response times and customer satisfaction.
