Generate pain-driven content ideas from market signals with GPT-4o, Xpoz MCP, Google Sheets, ClickUp, and Slack

📘 Description This workflow automates market-driven content ideation by continuously discovering real user pain points from public discussions and converting them into execution-ready content ideas. It is designed for growth and content teams who want ideas grounded in actual customer language, frustrations, and unmet needs—rather than assumptions or generic brainstorming. On a scheduled basis, the workflow scans public search and social platforms for conversations related to a defined niche and keyword set. An AI discovery agent extracts recurring pain points, common complaints, and the exact phrasing users use when describing their problems. These raw market signals are then transformed by a second AI agent into pain-driven content ideas, each mapped to a platform, format, hook, core pain point, resonance logic, and CTA. All generated ideas are normalized, stored in a central Google Sheets content database, converted into execution tasks in ClickUp, and summarized in Slack for immediate team visibility.

Generate AI matte painting video variations with Seedance for VFX review

📘 Description This workflow is a fully automated AI matte painting generation system for VFX pipelines, designed to convert a single environment prompt into multiple cinematic background variations. It handles generation, validation, multi-variant rendering, compositing preparation, review workflows, and final delivery—eliminating manual coordination between artists, supervisors, and production systems. ⚙️ Step-by-Step Flow The process begins with a webhook trigger that serves as the shot request intake layer, receiving a POST request containing the environment prompt, shot code, optional plate image URL, and metadata such as project, sequence, and supervisor details. This input is then passed through a validation and normalization stage, ensuring all required fields are present while standardizing elements like sequence codes, project IDs, Slack channels, and timestamps. Once validated, the system fans out the request into four distinct cinematic variations—day (overcast realism), dusk (golden hour lighting), night (moonlit cinematic), and fog (atmospheric depth)—with each variant assigned a custom-engineered prompt. At the core of the workflow, a dynamic mode selection logic determines whether to use image-to-video generation (if a plate image is provided) or text-to-video generation (if no reference is available), while also configuring parameters such as audio generation, aspect ratio, and duration. Each variation is then submitted as an independent job to the Seedance API for AI video generation, returning unique job IDs for tracking. A polling loop handles asynchronous processing by checking the status of each job every 20 seconds until all reach a “succeeded” state, operating independently per variation. Once completed, the system constructs detailed metadata for each asset, including video URL, atmosphere type, variant ID, resolution, duration, and tags such as AI-generated and review status. In parallel, it generates an auto-configured Nuke compositing template with pre-built nodes for plate input, AI background, merge setup, color grading placeholders, and output writing. For production tracking, a Jira review task is created for each variation, while all assets are logged within the ClickUp system. An aggregation layer then consolidates all four variations into a single structured summary, formatted for seamless Slack delivery. A Slack notification is sent to the supervisor with the complete review package, including links to all variations, Jira tickets, inline Nuke scripts, and associated metadata. Finally, the system downloads the generated video assets and completes the workflow by sending an email to the requester with the video attachments and full production context, ensuring a smooth end-to-end delivery pipeline. 🚨 Error Handling • Global error trigger • Instant Slack alert • Prevents silent failures across pipeline 🧩 Prerequisites • Seedance API (video generation) • Slack OAuth2 • Gmail OAuth2 • Jira Cloud • ClickUp API • Webhook integration (input system) 💡 Key Benefits ✔ Parallel generation of multiple cinematic variations ✔ Automatic decision between image-to-video vs text-to-video ✔ Built-in compositing (Nuke script auto-generation) ✔ Full production pipeline (generation → review → delivery) ✔ Async-safe with polling loop ✔ Centralized asset tracking (Jira + ClickUp) ✔ Zero manual VFX coordination 👥 Perfect For VFX studios Film/TV production pipelines AI-driven matte painting workflows Previsualization teams Creative automation systems

Triage customer support emails with Groq AI, ClickUp and Google Sheets

Customer Support Triage Automation with AI, ClickUp and Google Sheets 📘 Description This workflow automates the complete customer support email triage process by intelligently classifying incoming support emails, validating AI outputs, assigning tickets to appropriate teams, and orchestrating all downstream actions in a consistent, trackable manner. It is designed for support teams that need to instantly categorise and route high volumes of customer inquiries while maintaining quality, accountability, and fast response times. The workflow is triggered automatically when new emails arrive in your support inbox. Incoming emails are analysed by Grok AI to determine ticket category (Bug Report, Feature Request, Billing Question, Technical Support, General Inquiry, or Marketing Email) and urgency level (Low, Medium, High, Critical). A validation layer ensures AI outputs meet quality standards with automatic corrections for invalid responses. Based on the categorisation, the workflow applies intelligent routing rules to assign tickets to the right team (Engineering, Billing, Product, or Support), calculates SLA deadlines based on urgency, and detects escalation triggers like negative sentiment or churn risk keywords. For every ticket, the workflow runs parallel actions: it creates a detailed ClickUp task for team tracking, logs complete ticket information to Google Sheets for analytics, sends real-time Slack notifications to appropriate channels, and delivers a professional acknowledgement email to the customer with ticket details and tracking links. ⚙️ What This Workflow Does (Step-by-Step) 📧 Email Intake - Fetches new support emails from the Outlook inbox automatically. 📝 Assign Email Values - Normalises email data into a consistent structure for processing. 🧠 AI Analysis with Grok - Classifies tickets by category and urgency using AI reasoning. 🔍 Parse AI Response - Extracts structured data from AI output and adds metadata. ✅ Validate AI Response - Ensures outputs meet quality standards with automatic fixes for invalid categories or missing summaries. 🎯 Smart Assignment & SLA - Routes tickets to appropriate teams, calculates SLA deadlines (1 hour for Critical, 4 hours for High, 24 hours for Medium, 48 hours for Low), and flags escalation cases based on sentiment or urgency. 📋 Create ClickUp Task - Generates organised tasks with priority levels, tags, and complete ticket context. 🔗 Get ClickUp Task URL - Captures task links for tracking and reference. 📊 Log to Google Sheets - Records all ticket details in a centralised tracking spreadsheet. 💬 Team Notification (Slack) - Alerts the support team with ticket summary and ClickUp link. 🚨 Escalation Notification (Slack) - Sends urgent alerts to the escalation channel for critical or high-risk tickets. ✉️ Customer Acknowledgement (Email) - Delivers professional auto-reply with ticket details, SLA timeline, and tracking link. 🧩 Prerequisites • Microsoft Outlook or Gmail account for support inbox • Grok API credentials (x.ai) - can be replaced with OpenAI or Claude • Google Sheets OAuth2 for ticket tracking • ClickUp API access for task management • Slack API access for team notifications • Gmail OAuth2 for customer acknowledgement emails 💡 Key Benefits ✔ Instant categorisation of all incoming support emails ✔ Intelligent team routing based on ticket type and urgency ✔ Automatic SLA deadline calculation and tracking ✔ Built-in validation prevents AI errors from reaching customers ✔ Escalation detection for negative sentiment and churn risk ✔ Complete audit trail in Google Sheets ✔ Real-time team awareness via Slack ✔ Professional customer communication with zero delay ✔ Seamless ClickUp integration for task management 👥 Perfect For Customer support teams handling high email volumes SaaS companies managing technical support requests Operations teams needing instant triage and routing Businesses requiring strict SLA compliance Support organisations using ClickUp for task management Teams wanting complete visibility and accountability

Automate Stripe Invoicing Workflow with ClickUp & Gmail Notifications

Stripe invoicing automation that is connected to your CRM, in this example, it is ClickUp. At the end of the flow, once your lead has been sent an invoice, you (or your team) will be sent an email notifying you of the newly sent invoice with all relevant details. How it works: • Monitors ClickUp task status → triggers workflow when status changes to send invoice. • Fetches task details from ClickUp, including customer name, email, and project cost. • Creates a Stripe customer using the fetched information. • Generates a Stripe invoice via HTTP request, including description, footer, and due date (calculated in Unix timestamp). • Adds invoice items automatically with correct amounts (converted to cents for Stripe). • Sends the invoice to the customer automatically (manual or auto-charge option). • Sends notification emails to team members with a link to the ClickUp task. Works with other CRMs like Monday or HubSpot, not just ClickUp. Test mode is available in Stripe to validate the workflow without sending real invoices. Setup steps: • You will need to connect your ClickUp Account • Connect your Stripe Account via HTTP Request (Shown in YouTube Video Linked Below) • You will need to connect your email account to N8N (Gmail, Outlook etc) for sending the emails to your team and the client Important Have your Stripe account and PUT IT IN TEST/DEVELOPER MODE when testing and developing the automation. Alternatively, set up an entirely separate account from your main Stripe account. This is only up until the point where you want to send the invoice, as you cannot send an invoice when your Stripe account is in test/developer mode For a complete rundown on how to set this up watch my YouTube tutorial linked below See full video tutorial here: https://youtu.be/vthK5I8x33k?si=W0Nreu403pDs-ud3 My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seb-gardner-5b439a260/
