Overview
Unlock Scalable FAQ & Content Creation with this AI Agent
This AI-driven n8n workflow streamlines the generation of comprehensive FAQ sections and descriptive content for your products, services, or categories. It intelligently pulls source information from Google Sheets, applies customizable Q&A templates, and leverages OpenAI's GPT models (like gpt-4o-mini) to enrich and complete answers. The structured JSON output is then saved to Google Drive, ready for seamless integration into your CMS (e.g., WordPress, Strapi, Webflow) or other content platforms. This agent is perfect for businesses looking to efficiently generate and maintain informative content at scale.
Key Features & Benefits
- Automated Content Pipeline: Fetches data directly from Google Sheets, minimizing manual data entry.

- Customizable Templates: Pre-defines question/answer structures for different types of services or categories (e.g., native integrations, API-only, general categories), ensuring consistency.
- Structured Output: Generates well-formatted JSON files, making it easy to import content into various CMS platforms or use in other applications.
- Google Drive Integration: Automatically saves generated content to specified Google Drive folders for organized storage and access.
- Status Tracking: Updates the source Google Sheet to mark processed items, providing clear visibility on progress.
- Batch Processing: Designed to handle multiple services or categories efficiently, ideal for large-scale content generation tasks by processing sheet by sheet and item by item.
- Extensible: Includes placeholder nodes for direct CMS integration (Strapi, WordPress, Webflow, HTTP Request) that can be configured to your specific needs.
Use Cases
- B2C E-commerce: Generate rich FAQ content for product listings or categories managed in Google Sheets, using AI to elaborate on features, usage, and troubleshooting, then upload to your e-commerce platform.

Prerequisites
- An n8n instance (Cloud or self-hosted).
- OpenAI API Key with access to a suitable model (e.g., gpt-4o-mini, gpt-4).
- Google Workspace account with Google Sheets and Google Drive access.
- Configured Google OAuth2 credentials in n8n for Google Sheets and Google Drive nodes.
- A master Google Sheet containing service/category data. This sheet should have tabs named 'Single Integration Native', 'Single Integration Cred-only', 'Single Integration Non-native', 'Categories', each with columns like 'displayName', 'status', and 'row_number' (for status updates).
- Google Drive Folder IDs for where the generated JSON files will be saved for each category/type (these need to be configured in the 'Prepare Job' node).
Setup Instructions
- Download the n8n workflow JSON file.
- Import the workflow into your n8n instance.
- Configure Google Credentials: Ensure you have Google OAuth2 credentials set up in n8n. Assign these credentials to the 'Get Services' (Google Sheets), 'Create From Text' (Google Drive), and 'Update Row Status' (Google Sheets) nodes.
- Configure Google Sheets Node ('Get Services'): Set the 'Document ID' to your master Google Sheet that contains the data.
- Configure OpenAI Nodes: In the 'OpenAI Chat Model' node (used by the 'AI Completion1' chain), enter your OpenAI API Key and select your preferred model (e.g., gpt-4o-mini).
- Set Output Folders in 'Prepare Job' Node: Edit this node. In the
outdir
assignment, replace placeholder strings like"Insert the corresponding Google Drive folder ID here"
with your actual Google Drive Folder IDs for each sheet type ('Single Integration Native', 'Single Integration Cred-only', etc.). This determines where output files are saved. - Review/Customize Q&A Templates: The 'Set' nodes named 'Single Integration Native', 'Single Integration Cred-only', 'Single Integration Non-native', and 'Categories' contain the Q&A templates. Modify these if needed to suit your content structure.
- Review/Customize AI Prompt: The 'AI Completion1' node contains the prompt instructing the AI. Adjust this if you need different AI behavior for answer completion.
- (Optional) CMS Integration: If you plan to send data directly to a CMS, configure the placeholder nodes (Strapi, Wordpress, Webflow, HTTP Request) at the end of the workflow with your specific CMS details and credentials. Otherwise, they can be removed or left inactive.
- Activate the workflow. The 'When clicking ‘Test workflow’' trigger initiates the process for all defined sheets. The workflow processes each sheet and its items, calling its own 'Execute Workflow Trigger' part for individual item processing.
