If building and indexing vector stores or duplicating data isn't necessarily your thing, an alternative implementation of the [RAG]({{ $env.WEBHOOK_URL }} approach is to leverage existing knowledge-bases such as support portals.\n\n### How it works\n* A simple AI agent is connected with chat trigger to receive user queries.\n* The AI agent is instructed to fetch information from the knowledge-base via the attached custom workflow tool (aka \"knowledgebase tool\").\n* There is no step to replicate the entire support articles database into a vector store. You may choose not too because of time, cost and maintainence involved.\n* Instead, the tool leverages the existing support portal's search API to retrieve knowledge-base articles.\n* Finally, the search results are formatted before sending an aggregated response back to the agent.\n\n### How to use?\n* Customise the subworkflow to work with your own support portal API and format accordingly.\n* Try the following queries\n * How do I connect my icloud to acuityScheduling?\n * How do I download past invoices for my Acuity account?\n\n### Requirements\n* OpenAI for LLM.\n* If your organisation's APIs require authorisation, you may need to add custom credentials as necessary.\n\n### Customising this workflow\n* Add additional tools to reach other parts of your internal knowledgebase.\n* Not using OpenAI? Feel free to swap but ensure the LLM has tools/function calling support.\n\n\n### Need Help?\nJoin the [Discord]({{ $env.WEBHOOK_URL }} or ask in the [Forum]({{ $env.WEBHOOK_URL }}\n\nHappy Hacking!" }, "typeVersion": 1, "notes": "This stickyNote node performs automated tasks as part of the workflow." }, { "id": "a918718f-915d-4d5c-a7c2-a015b8a84bbb", "name": "KnowledgeBase Tool Subworkflow", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.executeWorkflowTrigger", "position": [ 1620, 80 ], "parameters": { "workflowInputs": { "values": [ { "name": "query" } ] } }, "typeVersion": 1.1, "notes": "This executeWorkflowTrigger node performs automated tasks as part of the workflow." } ], "pinData": {}, "connections": { "61ca5a4b-3661-4330-ac4c-e09e75dd764c": { "main": [ [ { "node": "error-handler-61ca5a4b-3661-4330-ac4c-e09e75dd764c", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ], [ { "node": "error-handler-61ca5a4b-3661-4330-ac4c-e09e75dd764c-b0e2cc2e", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ], [ { "node": "error-handler-61ca5a4b-3661-4330-ac4c-e09e75dd764c-15cd6d77", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ], [ { "node": "error-handler-61ca5a4b-3661-4330-ac4c-e09e75dd764c-e0f89105", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ], [ { "node": "error-handler-61ca5a4b-3661-4330-ac4c-e09e75dd764c-68716278", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ], [ { "node": "error-handler-61ca5a4b-3661-4330-ac4c-e09e75dd764c-8a28e754", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ], [ { "node": "error-handler-61ca5a4b-3661-4330-ac4c-e09e75dd764c-f4ea4034", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ], [ { "node": "error-handler-61ca5a4b-3661-4330-ac4c-e09e75dd764c-d4953298", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ], [ { "node": "error-handler-61ca5a4b-3661-4330-ac4c-e09e75dd764c-b78f867a", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] }, "d9f2e90f-128b-458b-b3cf-79db2ec08633": { "main": [ [ { "node": "error-handler-d9f2e90f-128b-458b-b3cf-79db2ec08633-4ce231a4", "type": "main", "index": 0 } ] ] } }, "name": "Chattrigger Workflow", "settings": { "executionOrder": "v1", "saveManualExecutions": true, "callerPolicy": "workflowsFromSameOwner", "errorWorkflow": null, "timezone": "UTC", "executionTimeout": 3600, "maxExecutions": 1000, "retryOnFail": true, "retryCount": 3, "retryDelay": 1000 }, "description": "Automated workflow: Chattrigger Workflow.
