This workflow automates project initiation via chat using an AI agent built on n8n and LangChain. When a user requests a new project, it creates a standardized folder structure in Dropbox and sends notifications to Slack and Gmail upon confirmation. Reduces manual effort and increases transparency at the start of each project.
## Who it´s for
- Project managers automating onboarding processes
- Teams using Dropbox for storing project data
- Freelancers and agencies standardizing client onboarding
- Administrators reducing repetitive folder creation tasks
- Companies integrating AI assistants into daily operations
## What the automation does
- Triggers when a chat message is received (e.g., ´Create project X´)
- Automatically creates a folder /Projects/X/ with subfolders like Briefs, Assets, Work
- After successful creation, the bot asks for user confirmation before sending alerts
- On approval, posts a message in Slack (#projects) and sends an email via Gmail
- Stops execution if folder creation fails — no unnecessary notifications sent
- Uses an AI agent with memory and MCP tools for file handling and messaging
