n8nClaude APIStructured Extraction
Source Repo →

Extracts quote details from an inbound email without inventing numbers, and escalates anything touching money or lawyers to a human. 3.19 seconds per run against live executions. What it refuses to do unsupervised is the part that makes it safe to run unsupervised.

The film

Try it

A browser-side simulation of the routing logic — pick an input and watch which rule fires. The logged runs below are the receipts.

Simulation — same rules, sample inputs

Pick a sample. The inputs are fictional; the routing rules are the ones the live agent enforces in code, and the live agent averages 3.19s per run.

Always escalates — enforced in code, not just asked for

  • The body mentions refund, chargeback, lawyer, legal, overdue invoice, unpaid, dispute, small claims
  • Urgency is high
  • The draft contains a [PRICE] gap — a reply with a hole in it never goes out unseen
  • The model returned anything unparseable — it fails closed
  • Spam is logged silently. You are not buzzed for backlink offers.

Logged runs

Each replay below animates a logged n8n execution at the speed it actually ran — the decision path, the output, and the latency come straight from the execution log. Nothing staged.

Draft reply

Thanks for reaching out. We can definitely help you consolidate Viber and email orders into one place. Before I quote this, I need to understand a bit more: are you looking for a simple dashboard that pulls in existing messages, or do you want customers to place orders through a new form or system? And what's your budget range for this? Once I know those details, I can tell you whether November is realistic and what it'll cost.

Logged as an error run — a downstream node failed. The classification still routed to a human, so nothing was lost. That failure mode is the design.
