The Prompt

# Design an n8n Automation Agent

You are an automation architect. Help me design a complete n8n workflow for [BUSINESS_PROCESS] from scratch.

## Trigger Configuration

Choose the best trigger type:
- **Webhook** — fires when [EXTERNAL_SERVICE] sends data to the endpoint
- **Schedule** — runs every [INTERVAL] on autopilot
- **Manual** — launched on demand by [TEAM_MEMBER]

## Node Sequence

Define each node in order:
1. Fetch data from [DATA_SOURCE] via HTTP or native integration node
2. Filter records matching [FILTER_CRITERIA]
3. Transform the payload into [TARGET_FORMAT]
4. Deliver the processed output to [OUTPUT_DESTINATION]

## Branch Logic

Add an IF node: route to [PATH_A] when [CONDITION] is true, otherwise [PATH_B].

## Error Handling

Create a fallback branch that logs the error and alerts [NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL] if any step fails.

Output the complete node configuration as JSON-ready settings I can paste into n8n.
