ProductivityBeginner✓ Release process: run on a live n8n instance

Guided Decision Support System

Guided Decision Support System ships as a ready-to-import n8n automation package: load the bundled workflow JSON, connect the credentials listed on this page, and activate it on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud.

AI-powered business advisor: accepts decision queries via a POST webhook (wire it to any website form) or a built-in manual test path, analyzes with OpenAI using structured frameworks (pros/cons, SWOT, first principles), emails a detailed decision report, creates follow-up cards in Trello, and logs all decisions to Google Sheets for historical reference.

How it works

Workflow summary

One workflow handles everything end-to-end.

1Receives a decision query via form or webhook
2Parses and normalizes the question, context, urgency, and category
3AI analyzes the decision using structured frameworks (pros/cons, SWOT, cost-benefit)
4Emails a decision report with recommendations and next steps
5Creates a follow-up card in Trello
6Logs the decision to Google Sheets

Why this exists

Solo founders and consultants agonising for days over decisions that needed a structured pros/cons framework, losing momentum because the analysis step had no clear process.

“I spent a week going back and forth on a pricing decision. I knew what information I needed but I didn't have a framework to process it quickly.”

FAQ

About this template

How long does it take to set up Guided Decision Support System?

Most people finish in minutes following the guide. If you’ve never used n8n before, budget an hour — the first workflow is always the slowest.

What if I get stuck?

Email support@n8ntemplatestore.com. Free basic support is included with every purchase, and you’ll get a reply from our team within 24 hours. If setup needs more than email, we can schedule a call.

Do I need to pay for OpenAI?

API costs are separate and go directly to the provider — typically a few dollars a month at most for a solo business. Full breakdown is in the setup guide.

Can I customize the workflow?

Yes, completely. You own the .json — edit nodes, swap in your own prompts, re-wire the logic. Our support team can help you plan customizations over email.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

Refunds are issued only as described in our Refund Policy (https://n8ntemplatestore.com/refund-policy). Or add Setup Service at checkout for a live install and test session — pick any tier you prefer.
