📄 Description

🚀 Feature: Automation Enhancements for Open WebUI

contributor license agreement

This PR adds three powerful automation features to Open WebUI, enabling advanced workflow orchestration, persistent memory, and intelligent tool routing.


Features

1. N8N Pipeline Integration (PIPE v2.2.0)

Connect Open WebUI directly to N8N workflows for end-to-end automation.

Key Features:

  • SSE Streaming: Real-time Server-Sent Events for streaming workflow responses
  • Retry Logic: Exponential backoff with configurable retry policies
  • Execution Tracking: Full history of workflow runs with status, duration, errors
  • Analytics: Success rates, average duration, error tracking per configuration
  • User-Scoped: Complete user isolation and security

API Endpoints (9 total):

  • POST /api/n8n/config - Create N8N configuration
  • POST /api/n8n/trigger/{config_id} - Trigger workflow (non-streaming)
  • POST /api/n8n/trigger/{config_id}/stream - Trigger workflow (SSE streaming)
  • GET /api/n8n/configs - List user configurations
  • GET /api/n8n/analytics/{config_id} - Get workflow analytics
  • And 4 more...

2. Auto Memory Plugin

Automatically extract and store conversation facts using Named Entity Recognition.

Key Features:

  • NER (Spacy): Extracts people, organizations, dates, locations, products, etc.
  • ChromaDB Storage: Vector embeddings for semantic search
  • Deduplication: Prevents redundant memory storage
  • User-Scoped: Privacy-preserving user collections
  • Configurable: Confidence thresholds, entity types, context length

Use Cases:

  • Remember user preferences automatically
  • Track conversation context across sessions
  • Build persistent knowledge bases
  • Accumulate facts over time

3. AutoTool Filter

Automatically suggest relevant tools using semantic similarity matching.

Key Features:

  • Semantic Matching: Sentence embeddings + cosine similarity
  • Smart Suggestions: Top-K recommendations with confidence scores
  • Auto-Injection: Optional automatic tool selection
  • Embedding Cache: Fast similarity calculations (<500ms)
  • Configurable: Thresholds, model selection, caching options

Use Cases:

  • Reduce manual tool selection
  • Improve UX with smart tool discovery
  • Auto-route queries to appropriate tools
  • Suggest tools based on query semantics
