Overview This workflow acts as an AI-powered smart time tracker for employees or personal use. It records work sessions via a webhook, logs start/end/break times into n8n Data Tables, and uses OpenAI to automatically summarize working patterns and send reminders or monthly reports via Gmail. How It Works Webhook /track-time → Receives a POST request with a method ( start , break , or end ) and duration if applicable. Switch Logic → Directs the request to create or update the appropriate record in your Data Table. Data Tables → Store timestamps, break durations, and worker IDs in a secure local table. Schedule Triggers Daily (10:00) → Checks if today’s shift was not started and sends a reminder. Monthly (Day 1, 06:00) → Compiles last month’s working data and sends an AI report to management. OpenAI Analysis Summarizes working hours and productivity trends. Detects missed clock-ins or irregular patterns. Gmail Integration → Sends formatted daily or monthly reports to both employees and supervisors. Example Webhook Requests # Start work
