iVendNext N8N - Demo Script

iVendNext N8N - Demo Script

A tight, repeatable demo that proves value in 15–20 minutes. Prepare once; deliver every time.


10.1 — Before the demo (preparation checklist)

  • A clean demo tenant at acme.ivendnext.com with sample Items, Customers, and at least one ready Sales Order to create live.

  • A dedicated integration user with an API key/secret, and the iVendNext API credential already saved in n8n.

  • The iVendNext Node installed and verified in n8n.

  • The three demo workflows from Section 11 pre-built and tested — then deactivated, so you can activate them live.

  • A Slack channel (or email inbox) on screen to show real-time output.

  • Two browser windows side by side: iVendNext on the left, n8n on the right.


Golden rule

Never demo a workflow you haven't run successfully at least once that morning. Live data, live keys, live network — rehearse it.


10.2 — Run of show

Min

Segment

What you show & say

0–2

Frame the problem

Ask: "How do orders from your website get into your system today?" Let them describe the manual pain. Agree it's slow and error-prone.

2–5

The node, simply

Show the n8n canvas. "This box is your iVendNext. Watch what it can do." Add an iVendNext node; open the live DocType dropdown to prove it reads their real structure.

5–9

Real-time trigger

Activate New Sale → Slack. Create a Sales Order in iVendNext live. Watch the Slack message appear in seconds. This is the "wow" moment — pause for it.

9–14

Two-way sync

Run the Magento workflow (Section 11.1). Change a price/stock in iVendNext; show it reflected. Then show a web order arriving as a Sales Order.

14–18

AI & future

Open the AI Agent demo (11.2). Type "What were Acme's top 3 selling items yesterday?" Let the agent answer from live data. Audible reaction guaranteed.

18–20

Close

"Everything you saw was built visually, with no code, and your team can own it. What would you automate first?"


10.3 — How to show each capability

  • Live DocType dropdown — open it slowly. The point is that it reflects their tenant, instantly. "This isn't a generic connector; it knows your business."

  • Trigger speed — keep iVendNext and Slack visible together so there's no doubt about the real-time link.

  • Get Many filters — build a "today's orders over £500" query live in 30 seconds to show reporting power.

  • Error resilience — if relevant, show the execution log and the "Continue On Fail" branch to pre-empt reliability concerns.


10.4 — Handling objections & observations live

Lean on Section 9.6. Two demo-specific tips:


  • "That looks complicated." Reply by deleting and rebuilding a two-node workflow in under a minute. Simplicity sells itself.

  • "Will it work with our [app]?" Open n8n's node search and type their app's name. If it's there (it usually is), the conversation is over. If not: "Does it have an API? Then yes."


10.5 — Talking points during the demo

  • "Notice I haven't written any code — and I won't."

  • "That dropdown came from your live system, not a template."

  • "This reacted in seconds. Imagine that for every order, every day."

  • "If your business changes tomorrow, you change this in minutes — not a project."
