Triage car repair requests and reply to customers
A published walkthrough shows an n8n workflow receives car repair requests from a web form. The AI classifies each by job type, urgency, and summary, afterward creates an Airtable record and sends an instant customer reply. The Airtable base displays job status and timestamps for processed requests.

Why it matters
Comparing products, prices and delivery options is slow work for a human and fast work for an agent. Cases like this show agents doing the legwork before anything gets bought. It is one of 65 sightings filed under Shopping on Agent Sightings (number 9 by interest), and one of 36 involving n8n.
How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into n8n or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Shopping task: triage car repair requests and reply to customers. Collect order/policy details, prepare exact steps, and pause before submit or payment.
Tip: Ask the agent to stop before checkout and show you the final basket, price and delivery date before you confirm.
