Augment contact records: Slack for research assistant
Runs on a schedule across Slack, HubSpot and Airtable, branches on the check before anything is written, then drops anything it has already handled. Built for research assistant, around a "Normalize Request Payload" step, in 19 documented nodes.
Augment contact records with HubSpot and HTTP / REST API with instant alerts for Research Assistant . An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Data Enrichment' pattern for AI & automation. It runs on a schedule and orchestrates 19 nodes across Slack, HTTP / REST API, HubSpot. It uses n8n's LangChain AI nodes (Agent/Chain + chat model). Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. Nothing slips through the cracks.

What you'll learn
Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •Building a provider waterfall that only pays for a fallback on a real miss
- •Scoring records after enrichment so the score sees the richest data
- •Upserting so repeat runs update rather than duplicate
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
