What this workflow does

This AI workflow has 17 nodes and runs when an HTTP POST request hits its webhook URL. Along the way it connects OpenRouter Chat Model. It also calls api.crossref.org, api.semanticscholar.org and api.openalex.org over HTTP.

How it runs

Trigger: When an HTTP POST request hits its webhook URL.

  1. Extract Input Data (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 2 fields: paperTitle, paperAbstract
  2. Search CrossRef (HTTP Request): calls api.crossref.org
  3. Search Semantic Scholar (HTTP Request): calls api.semanticscholar.org
  4. Search OpenAlex (HTTP Request): calls api.openalex.org
  5. Merge: merges the data from its input branches
  6. Process References (Code): runs custom JavaScript code
  7. Prepare AI Context (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 3 fields: paperTitle, paperAbstract, references
  8. AI - Introduction (AI Agent): runs an AI agent, with model: OpenRouter Chat Model
  9. AI - Literature Review (AI Agent): runs an AI agent, with model: OpenRouter Chat Model
  10. Merge: merges the data from its input branches

…plus 5 more steps. See the full node list below.

Services it uses

OpenRouter Chat Model

HTTP calls to: api.crossref.org, api.semanticscholar.org, api.openalex.org

Before you upgrade to n8n 3.0

1 thing in this workflow is removed in n8n 3.0. Fix it before you upgrade:

  • AI Agent v1 (old agent modes) in AI - Introduction (v1.7), AI - Literature Review (v1.7), AI - Methodology (v1.7)…: replace with Latest AI Agent node (Tools Agent). For SQL Agent, use a Postgres or MySQL tool with a recent AI Agent.

Rather not rewrite it? Many of these flows can be rebuilt in Make (free plan).
