Ready for 3.0. This template uses no nodes that n8n 3.0 removes. No removed nodes, versions or helpers found. Static check, last run 2026-10-19.

What this workflow does

This AI workflow has 18 nodes and runs on a schedule (every 15 minutes). Along the way it connects OpenAI Chat Model and Slack.

How it runs

Trigger: On a schedule (every 15 minutes).

  1. Fetch Vessel Telemetry & AIS Data (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
  2. Fetch Port & Weather Context (HTTP Request): calls an HTTP API
  3. Stage 1: Anomaly Detection Agent (AI Agent): runs an AI agent, with model: OpenAI Model - Anomaly Detection; output parser: Anomaly Detection Schema
  4. Stage 2: Context Aggregation Agent (AI Agent): runs an AI agent, with model: OpenAI Model - Context Aggregation; output parser: Context Aggregation Schema
  5. Stage 3: Route Simulation Agent (AI Agent): runs an AI agent, with model: OpenAI Model - Route Simulation; output parser: Route Simulation Schema
  6. Stage 4: Executive Briefing Agent (AI Agent): runs an AI agent, with model: OpenAI Model - Executive Briefing; output parser: Executive Briefing Schema
  7. Format Approval Request (Edit Fields (Set)): sets 7 fields: vessel_id, briefing_summary, recommended_route…
  8. Human Approval Required (Wait): pauses until form
  9. Notify Vessel & Operations Team (Slack): uses Slack
