Haresh Product Search

Search e-commerce products via n8n webhook integration

Product Search Skill

Purpose

Enables users to search for products in the e-commerce catalog using natural language queries.

When to Use

• User asks to find products, search inventory, or browse catalog
• User mentions specific product types, categories, or brands
• User provides price constraints or filtering requirements

Workflow

1. Parse user intent to extract search parameters:

   • Product category (e.g., "running shoes", "laptops")
   • Price constraints (e.g., "under $100", "between $50-$200")
   • Sort preferences (e.g., "cheapest first", "highest rated")

2. Transform parameters into JSON payload with category, price_min, price_max, sort_by

3. Use exec tool to POST to n8n webhook at http://localhost:5678/webhook/product-search

4. Parse n8n response and present results to user in friendly format

Parameter Mapping

• Category synonyms: "gym shoes" becomes "fitness", "sneakers" becomes "footwear"
• Price parsing: "under X" sets price_max to X
• Sort options: "cheapest" sorts price ascending, "best" sorts by rating

Error Handling

• If no results: Suggest broader search terms
• If webhook fails: Inform user search service is unavailable
• If timeout: Ask if user wants to wait or retry
