Screenshot Analysis

Use vision AI to get help based on what you see on screen.

What is Screenshot Analysis?

Screenshot Analysis lets you capture your n8n canvas and send it to the AI for visual context. The AI can see your workflow layout, node connections, error messages, and configuration panels.

How to Use It

  1. Open your n8n workflow
  2. Open the N8N Insider panel
  3. Click the camera/screenshot button
  4. The current view is captured and attached to your next message
  5. Type your question and send

When to Use Screenshots

  • Debugging visual errors or red node indicators
  • Asking about specific parts of your workflow
  • When text description isn't enough
  • Showing error messages in the UI
  • Getting help with complex node configurations

Example Prompts with Screenshots

"What's causing this error?" (with screenshot of error)

"Is this the right way to connect these nodes?"

"How can I improve this workflow layout?"

"What does this configuration panel do?"

Supported AI Models

  • Claude 3.5 Sonnet (recommended)
  • GPT-4o / GPT-4 Vision
  • Claude 3 Opus
  • Gemini Pro Vision

Privacy Note

Screenshots are sent to the AI provider (via OpenRouter) for analysis. They are not stored permanently. Avoid capturing sensitive data if privacy is a concern.
