Complete business WhatsApp AI-Powered RAG Chatbot using OpenAI
n8n template #2845Summary
Use templateThe provided workflow in n8n is designed to create a Business WhatsApp AI RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) Chatbot. How it works: Webhook Setup: The workflow begins by setting up webhooks for verification and response. The Verify webhook receives GET requests and sends back a verification code, while the Respond webhook handles incoming POST requests from Meta regarding WhatsApp messages. Message Handling: Once a message is received, the workflow checks if the incoming JSON contains a user message. If it does, the message is processed further; otherwise, a generic response is sent. AI Agent Interaction: The user's message is passed to the AI Agent node, which uses a conversational agent
How to set it up
- Open template #2845 on n8n.io and click Use for free, or copy the template JSON and paste it onto an empty canvas in n8n.
- Create 5 credentials under Credentials → Add credential: Google Drive, WhatsApp Business Cloud, Embeddings OpenAI, OpenAI Chat Model, Qdrant Vector Store. Then open each of those nodes and pick the credential.
- Check the model in the AI Agent node. The template may point at a model your account can't use; swap it for one you have access to.
- Click Execute workflow and step through each node's output to confirm the data looks right.
- Toggle the workflow to Active so its trigger runs on its own.
