Agent Hub
The Agent Hub is a library of example agents and workflows for Propeller. Each one does a job for your sales team, such as checking the margin of a quote or listing the quotes that are about to expire. You download an example, connect it to your environment and adjust it to your own process.
The Agent Hub is part of this Help Center. It is not a screen in Propeller. The examples run in n8n, a separate tool for automations. Their results show in Propeller.
The Agent Hub is in beta and the examples may still change. They are free to use and adapt, but they are examples, not supported product features. Test an example in a test environment and check the results before you use it on real customers. Something does not work or a workflow is missing? Let us know through the feedback option at the bottom of the page.
Know the two kinds
Every example is an agent or a background workflow. Each library page says which.
| Agent | Background workflow | |
|---|---|---|
| How it starts | A colleague clicks Workflows on a page in Propeller and starts it | By itself: on a schedule or when an email comes in |
| Where the result shows | At once, in the AI Agents dialog on that page, like the answer above | A little later in Propeller. Usually as an action in the Action Hub |
| What Propeller needs | An agent, registered under Admin > Agents | Nothing to set up |
| Example | Margin validator | Expiring quote follow-ups |
Start here
- Pick an example. Open the workflow library and read what an example gives you.
- Check what it needs. See the table below. Some examples need a paid account elsewhere.
- Do the setup once. Set up n8n and connect it to Propeller.
- Install the example. Install a workflow from the library explains the steps every example shares. An agent has one more: you register it under Admin > Agents.
- Make it yours. Each library page lists the settings you can change. For bigger changes, adjust a workflow with an AI assistant.
Know what you need before you start
| You need | For | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| An n8n account | Every example | n8n sells its plans by the number of runs a month. See Set up n8n |
| A Propeller API key | Every example except the Margin validator | A colleague with the API Keys role makes it |
| An OpenAI account | Six examples that use AI: Sales advisor chat, Cross-sell and up-sell assistant, Product translation agent, Email to quote request, PO email to draft order and Voice to quote request | You pay OpenAI per use |
| A Gmail mailbox | Email to quote request and PO email to draft order | Use a mailbox of its own, not a personal one |
Two things to settle inside your company first:
- Data leaves Propeller. Every example sends Propeller data to n8n. The six AI examples also send it to OpenAI: customer emails, purchase orders, recordings, product texts or quote lines with cost prices. Check this with the colleague who is responsible for data protection.
- Someone has to install it. You do not need to be a developer, but you do work in n8n: importing a file, picking a login and changing a setting. Take your time for a first install, or ask a technical colleague.
Divide the work
| Who | Does what | Reads |
|---|---|---|
| A manager | Chooses an example and decides who gets the results | The workflow library |
| Someone who is at ease with settings | Installs the example in n8n and registers the agent | Install a workflow from the library |
| A technical colleague | Changes what an example does or builds a new agent | Adjust a workflow with an AI assistant and Build your own agent in the developer docs |
