IT Support Slack AI Bot - n8n Automation Template

This workflow transforms your Slack workspace into an intelligent IT support hub. By integrating Slack, OpenAI, and custom knowledge base tools, it enables employees to receive instant, AI-powered assistance for IT-related inquiries.

The bot acknowledges messages, processes them through an AI agent, searches the knowledge base (e.g., Confluence), and delivers accurate, contextual responses—all while keeping conversations clean and user-friendly.

Perfect for IT teams aiming to reduce response times, improve efficiency, and empower employees with quick access to troubleshooting and IT policies.
