Automate Udemy Q&A: AI-Powered Replies via Google Sheets

Transform Your Udemy Student Support from Time Drain to Revenue Driver

Stop spending hours answering the same repetitive Udemy student questions while missing high-value opportunities. This AI-powered n8n workflow automatically processes your Udemy Q&A messages, intelligently routing routine questions to AI auto-replies while escalating sales opportunities and important conversations directly to your inbox.

What This Workflow Does

This automated system connects to Udemy's Instructor API and processes every unreplied message thread through intelligent AI routing:

• Auto-Reply Path: Technical questions, course clarifications, greetings, and routine support get context-aware Markdown responses generated by Mistral Large (with Claude Sonnet 4.5 fallback) and posted back to Udemy automatically
• Escalation Path: Sales opportunities, refund requests, complaints, personal questions, and ambiguous messages trigger email notifications with deep links to your Udemy inbox for personal response
• Smart Decision Engine: Structured-output AI agent applies 18+ explicit rules to categorize messages, ensuring sales triggers and complaint detection never get missed
