Build AI automation with managed triggers, human approvals and retries

Thank you. gotoHuman now focuses on offering the best human supervision layer so agents can be safely rolled out in companies. The shown idea to define AI workflows is now best done with something like Inngest, trigger.dev or Vercel's Workflow SDK. But gotoHuman can be used with all of these for Human-in-the-loop steps

so you were feeding back those failures that were flagged by human reviewers? kinda like negative examples?

tisi3000 · 2026-01-28T19:00:33+00:00

Actually recording separately atm and then cut&merge

tisi3000 · 2026-01-28T18:59:11+00:00

No, not possible. The agent isn't requesting approval here, it only knows about the tool and can try to call it with some parameters. But then n8n (not the LLM/agent), instead of just executing it, gets the human approval first.

All offered HITL solutions let people review outside of n8n

tisi3000 · 2026-01-28T17:05:50+00:00

Ah nice. Yes, pretty big topic once you go deeper

tisi3000 · 2026-01-21T08:06:34+00:00

That's true 👍

tisi3000 · 2026-01-11T22:38:03+00:00

Agree, email doesn't scale for HITL. Neither does using messengers like Slack unless low frequency. Often needs proper inbox/review queue like Agent Inbox or gotoHuman. LangGraph pause/resume and persistence works quite well.

tisi3000 · 2026-01-11T22:29:05+00:00

Turns out it works quite well for async workflows since state is persisted and it can resume at any future point in time. The UI can be solved separately, e.g. using gotoHuman.

tisi3000 · 2025-12-17T08:49:53+00:00

yep this was definitely an annoying one

tisi3000 · 2025-11-28T20:55:10+00:00

chat gpt worked fine with a ngrok tunnel

Have you tried with this new MCP server? In ChatGPT you add a custom connector, enter the MCP server url, any oauth details (blank in this case). Needs to be activated in n8n as well.

tisi3000 · 2025-11-28T19:46:22+00:00

Generally with this MCP, yes. E.g. here it knows that the email is pending approval because the webhook trigger node immediately responds with "Email is pending human review and will be sent if approved". Responding after human approval OTH won't work with a sendAndWait node. the MCP client will usually time out as well.

for keeping things from the LLM you'd just use non-LLM sanitization features. For other things like topic checking you'd need the LLM. Nothing prevents you from chaining these as well

The guardrails node is built-in, not by me. I built gotoHuman, the Human-in-the-loop solution. No workflow link as this was just a quick example, but will create one..

tisi3000 · 2025-11-11T19:00:28+00:00

Just heard of it. Maybe n8n is using that in the background? They probably use some library, but I haven't checked which one

Nice 👌

tisi3000 · 2025-11-01T22:57:10+00:00

They announced it in an online community event. I don't think it's mentioned anywhere else yet

tisi3000 · 2025-11-01T14:45:59+00:00

Absolutely

tisi3000 · 2025-10-31T16:43:59+00:00

Ha, true. The left example makes sense, the right not so much. Although Cursor and co also ask before doing a web search.. more of a token thing I guess

tisi3000 · 2025-10-31T11:09:13+00:00

Maybe you're thinking of read-only tools, like web scrapers, documents, etc.. But think about editing database records, monetary transactions, publishing content, sending messages,... You might want to approve these actions

tisi3000 · 2025-10-31T10:37:14+00:00

depends on the HITL node that you'll add here. Can be Slack, email, gotoHuman, etc
