Using OpenAI To Drive Workflows

Hello everyone! I’m just returning from a decade-long hiatus from Sugar/SuiteCRM. It’s good to be back!
I wanted to see if anyone has attempted to integrate ChatGPT into SuiteCRM outside of generating campaigns and emails. I’ve read the posts that I could find regarding this topic, but didn’t see much beyond some light tinkering.

Had anyone tried any deeper integrations? I think Im going after workflows first. I’d love to hear from anyone thats had any measure of success or challenges exploring this concept.
If not, I’ll be sure to report back my experiences, and hopefully share some useful knowledge with the community.

Best Regards,

Toby

Welcome back :smiley:

The SuiteCRM team is going to add power tools build by Pedro, but it does not use any AI.


abuzarfaris created addon called a AI-powered dashlets for SuiteCRM.

The new low-code features provide some great integration spots for AI. Not done yet, though.

I am personally interested in a less common way of integrating AI, but one that I think fits the SuiteCRM world - running AI models locally, to use all the information in the local database, without sending it over to the cloud. Just a dream at this point.

Hi Toby,

I’m usually going via the V8 API and using n8n.io
Triggering from SuiteCRM is a bit cumbersome, but works with a Webhook Plugin:

From there, I’d trigger n8n Workflows and do all the logic, AI, integration with other software.
It’s so much faster and easier to integrate into processes than trying to build an extension or similar for Suite.

So yes, a lot of AI - and other integrations - where SuiteCRM was usually either the trigger or just displaying results. Computation / business logic was outside SuiteCRM.

That’s true, need some AI local data modeling tool instead of sending our data to cloud.

It will be more secure. :melting_face:

Where can we get that web hook addon? Can we use it to get data from our ETL tool and store into CRM? :thinking:

The extension is here:

GitHub - SidorkinAlex/SuiteCRMWebHooks (there is a bug on PHP 8.3 with Suite 8.8 - below it seems to be working).

Local AI Model:

This works fantastically: GitHub - n8n-io/self-hosted-ai-starter-kit: The Self-hosted AI Starter Kit is an open-source template that quickly sets up a local AI environment. Curated by n8n, it provides essential tools for creating secure, self-hosted AI workflows.
