Automated Shipping Priority with AI and n8n

This n8n workflow automates the process of determining the next shipment to prioritize based on data from a shipping sheet, using AI for intelligent decision-making. It starts with a webhook trigger that initiates the process, where an AI agent analyzes shipping data to select the next priority shipment by considering the oldest order date and customer cancellation status. The AI generates a structured JSON output with shipment details such as ID, name, address, and special instructions. This data is then used to update an external Google Sheet with the shipment’s priority and status, marking it as ‘sent.’ Finally, the workflow responds back via webhook, providing real-time updates to any external system or user interface. This workflow is ideal for logistics and warehouse management, ensuring that shipping priorities are handled efficiently and automatically, reducing manual oversight.
