What it does

You instantly classify customer risk by submitting KYC details through an n8n form, which sends the data to OpenAI for automated profiling. High-risk cases automatically save to a Google Sheet and trigger a Slack alert, while lower-risk submissions are logged separately for your review.

How it works

When it runs: Triggered by an event · Event · on form submission
How hands-off: Assists you, you do the final step
Setup: An afternoon · about an afternoon

Watch out for

PII data sent to OpenAI may violate privacy regulations so you must implement strict data masking before the API call.
Hallucinated risk scores can misclassify users, add a confidence threshold check to require human review for borderline cases.
Slack notification limits can delay alerts during high volume, use n8n's retry logic with exponential backoff to handle rate limiting.
Google Sheets API quotas are low for bulk operations, batch insert rows instead of writing them one by one in the workflow.
