n8n is an extensible, open-source platform for workflow automation that lets you integrate awork with apps and services without requiring coding.
Key benefits and use cases
Use n8n to keep work moving between awork and the rest of your tools.
Automate data flow by connecting awork with other services and apps
Work in both directions by retrieving, processing, and forwarding data from awork—or sending data back into awork
Build workflows visually by creating and connecting nodes in n8n’s graphical interface
How the n8n integration works
n8n uses nodes to connect awork with other services and apps. Nodes act as interfaces, enabling actions to be performed in both directions.
Workflows are built by creating and connecting nodes. You start with a trigger (start node), then add nodes with the following actions.
Supported actions in n8n for awork:
Delete
Get
Head
Options
Patch
Post
Put
Tip: If you want the fastest path, start with the Community Node. If you need something more custom, switch to API calls with the HTTP Request Node.
How to use the n8n integration
Create an n8n account
Sign up for an n8n account (n8n offers a 14-day free trial).
Set up the integration
To set up the n8n integration in awork, you have two options:
Use the Community Node to add awork as a regular tool in n8n with pre-built automations
Use custom API calls with the HTTP Request Node if you need automations that aren’t covered by the Community Node
Option A: Install the Community Node
In your n8n account, go to Settings > Community Nodes > Install > Enter
Enter the package name:
n8n-nodes-aworkFind awork in your n8n playground with all pre-built automations
Start building your custom workflow
Option B: Use the API with an HTTP Request Node
Click Add Workflow in your n8n account to start a new workflow
Decide when your workflow should start (for example, on a schedule or manually)
Add an HTTP Request Node to your workflow (details here)
Log in using a common authentication method and make API calls to awork to retrieve data from the URLs
Connect the awork node to another node to define what action will follow the event triggered in awork.

Finalize your workflow
Test the workflow to ensure the nodes are properly connected
Save the workflow and activate it so it runs automatically

Best practices and tips
Start simple by building a workflow with a trigger and one follow-up action
Use the Community Node first if you want pre-built awork automations in n8n
Use the HTTP Request Node when you need custom API calls beyond what the Community Node covers
