- Download the n8n JSON file (full or sanitized).
- In n8n: Workflows → Import from file.
- Open each node and reconnect credentials to your accounts.
- Test with manual execution before enabling triggers.
Sanitized JSON removes credential IDs — safer for sharing. Flow graph JSON is OpenRuna's lightweight format for diagrams and other tools, not n8n import.
Overview
OpenAI Assistant with custom n8n tools (14-node n8n automation, manualChat, openAiAssistant, executeWorkflow, toolWorkflow, summarize, toolCode) is free on OpenRuna — view the graph and export the JSON to import into n8n.
What this workflow does
"OpenAI Assistant with custom n8n tools" automates a manualChat-to-openAiAssistant flow in n8n across 14 nodes. 14 nodes · manualChat, openAiAssistant, executeWorkflow, toolWorkflow, summarize, toolCode Execution begins at the scheduled/triggered trigger and flows through the 14 configured nodes. On OpenRuna you get the visual graph, the integration list, and a downloadable JSON ready to import into n8n. Use it to learn integration patterns, fork it for your own use case, or deploy it quickly after reconnecting credentials.
Use cases
- Share it with your team as a documented reference for scheduled/triggered automations in the manualChat stack.
- Study how data moves from manualChat to openAiAssistant before building your own variant.
- Use it as a starting template when wiring manualChat, openAiAssistant, executeWorkflow, toolWorkflow, summarize, toolCode — adjust node parameters to your accounts and record IDs.
- Import "OpenAI Assistant with custom n8n tools" into n8n, reconnect credentials for manualChat, openAiAssistant, executeWorkflow, toolWorkflow, summarize, toolCode, and run the same automation in your own workspace.
Example output
Imported into n8n, "OpenAI Assistant with custom n8n tools" exposes 14 configured nodes. Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. Integrations: manualChat, openAiAssistant, executeWorkflow, toolWorkflow, summarize, toolCode. Open each node after import to map credentials to your own manualChat and openAiAssistant accounts. Run it once in test mode to verify any branch logic (Switch/IF nodes) before enabling production triggers.
Tips by platform
Claude
Paste the exported JSON for "OpenAI Assistant with custom n8n tools" into Claude and ask it to explain each of the 14 nodes. Claude is good at suggesting credential mappings for manualChat, openAiAssistant, executeWorkflow, toolWorkflow, summarize, toolCode, plus error-handling and idempotency improvements before you run it in production.
ChatGPT
Have ChatGPT generate a checklist for adapting "OpenAI Assistant with custom n8n tools" to your accounts — which manualChat, openAiAssistant, executeWorkflow, toolWorkflow, summarize, toolCode credentials to create and which node parameters to change first.
Cursor
Open the downloaded JSON in Cursor and use Agent mode to refactor hard-coded URLs into env vars, or to generate tests for any Code nodes. Keep the OpenRuna flow diagram open so you do not break connection order across the 14 nodes.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I import "OpenAI Assistant with custom n8n tools" into n8n?
- Click Download n8n JSON on this page, then in n8n choose Workflows → Import from file and select the downloaded file. Reconnect credentials on each node — the export carries credential IDs from the original author's instance, not working secrets.
- Which integrations does "OpenAI Assistant with custom n8n tools" use?
- It uses: manualChat, openAiAssistant, executeWorkflow, toolWorkflow, summarize, toolCode. The flow diagram above shows how each service connects across the 14 nodes. Filter OpenRuna by integration to find related workflows and tools.
- Can I import a sanitized export without credentials?
- Yes. Use "Download sanitized JSON" to strip credential references before sharing internally. You will still add your own manualChat and openAiAssistant credentials in n8n after import.
- What trigger type does "OpenAI Assistant with custom n8n tools" use?
- Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. After import, confirm the trigger node (webhook, schedule, or app event) matches your environment, then activate the workflow when you are ready to run it.
- Is "OpenAI Assistant with custom n8n tools" free to use?
- OpenRuna catalogs community n8n workflows under open licenses. Check the source corpus link for the original license; commercial use may require verifying the third-party API terms for manualChat, openAiAssistant, executeWorkflow, toolWorkflow, summarize, toolCode.
