When the bot is mentioned, it acknowledges the request, asks a read-only pyATS-backed AI agent to plan the work, and either replies with findings or sends interactive commit approval cards per device. When a card is clicked, the workflow handles approval or cancellation; approved changes are executed and verified through the full-access pyATS agent, then the result is posted back to Slack.\n\n\n### Setup\n- \ud83d\udda5\ufe0f Deploy the pyATS MCP server with access to your network testbed.\n- \ud83d\udce5 Import the workflow into n8n.\n- \ud83e\udd16 Configure your Slack bot, credentials, and webhooks.\n- \ud83d\udcda Follow the repository documentation for the complete setup process.\n\n\n### Customization\n\n[This README](https://github.com/ponchotitlan/pyATS-loves-agenticops/tree/main/n8n/Slack%20ChatOps%20for%20my%20network) includes step-by-step instructions for:\n\n- \ud83d\udcf1 Configuring your own pyATS testbed and devices.\n- \u2601\ufe0f Setting up a Cloudflare Tunnel or ngrok.\n- \ud83e\udd16 Creating and configuring the Slack bot and webhooks.\n- \ud83d\udc33 Launching all required services with Docker Compose.\n\n" }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "4e58fae3-69ba-4929-be3a-b71bfe8cb8f5", "name": "Sticky Note1", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ -2624, 736 ], "parameters": { "color": 7, "width": 608, "height": 384, "content": "## Receive Slack mention\n\nStarts the bot-mention path, generates a friendly standby phrase, and posts an immediate Slack acknowledgement before deeper processing begins." }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "051d44ad-8f20-4da1-b00a-8d2e0b8ea594", "name": "Sticky Note2", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ -1952, 736 ], "parameters": { "color": 7, "width": 896, "height": 544, "content": "## Plan network request\n\nExtracts the Slack request text, runs the planning AI agent with read-only pyATS access and memory, then parses the agent output into structured JSON." }, "typeVersion": 1 }, { "id": "cf1003a7-1770-4c20-97bc-94988145bf69", "name": "Sticky Note3", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [ -1024, 816 ], "parameters": { "color": 7, "width": 528, "height": 432, "content": "\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n## Route planning outcome\n\nChecks whether the planning result requires a commit.
