Prerequisites
- An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
- Asana account with API access.
- OpenAI API key (GPT-4 access highly recommended for best results).
- Pinecone account and API key for vector database (contextual memory).
- PostgreSQL database credentials and a pre-configured table for storing results.
Setup Instructions
- Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
- Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
- Configure the 'Asana' node: Provide your Asana API credentials. Specify the workspace, project, or assignee to fetch tasks from.
- Configure the 'OpenAI Chat Model' node (likely within the 'AI Agent' node): Enter your OpenAI API Key and select your preferred model (e.g., gpt-4, gpt-4-turbo).
- Set up the 'Embeddings OpenAI' node with your OpenAI API key if not already covered by a shared credential.
- Configure the 'Pinecone Vector Store' node: Input your Pinecone API key, environment, and the name of your index. This node will be used for storing and retrieving task context.
- Configure the 'Postgres' node: Enter your PostgreSQL database connection details (host, user, password, database name, port) and specify the table for storing prioritized tasks.
- Customize Prompts: Review and adjust the system and user prompts within the 'AI Agent' or relevant LLM nodes to tailor the prioritization logic to your specific business needs (e.g., criteria for urgency, impact definitions).
- Set Schedule: The workflow is often pre-configured with a daily schedule (e.g., 'Schedule' trigger node). Adjust the timing as required.
- Test thoroughly with sample Asana tasks to ensure correct prioritization and data logging.
- Activate the workflow.
