n8n Workflows MC Cars

This folder contains exportable n8n workflow definitions for the MC Cars qualification automation.

Workflows

01 Qualification Payment Email

Trigger: Postgres NOTIFY on channel lead_qualified (fires when qualify_lead() creates a sales order).

Flow:

  1. Receives notification with sales_order_id, customer_id, etc.
  2. Fetches full order + customer data from Postgres.
  3. Sends HTML email to customer with:
    • Booking summary (vehicle, dates, pricing)
    • Kaution bank transfer instructions
    • Payment link for the rental amount

02 Mietvertrag PDF Email

Trigger: Same lead_qualified Postgres notification.

Flow:

  1. Checks if mietvertrag_template_path is set in site_settings.
  2. If no template → workflow stops (no error).
  3. If template exists:
    • Fetches customer + sales order data
    • Downloads DOCX template from document-templates storage bucket
    • Fills placeholders using JSZip (in a Code node)
    • Converts filled DOCX to PDF via Gotenberg
    • Sends PDF as email attachment to customer
