n8n is an extensible, open-source platform for workflow automation that allows you to integrate awork with various apps and services without requiring coding.
General information
n8n uses nodes to connect awork with other services and apps. These nodes act as interfaces, enabling actions to be performed in both directions. You can retrieve, process, or forward data from awork to other apps. Similarly, it's possible to send information from external apps back to awork. By linking multiple nodes, an automated workflow is created that seamlessly manages and optimizes the data flow between awork and other systems.
These workflows are built in a graphical user interface by creating and connecting nodes. Each node represents a specific action or data source. You start with a trigger (start node) and then add subsequent nodes with the following actions.
To set up the n8n integration in awork, there are two options:
The simplest option is to use our Community Node. Integrate this node directly into your n8n account and utilize all pre-built automations specifically designed for awork.
If the Community Node doesn’t cover all your desired automations, you can use custom API calls. Utilize the HTTP Request Node, which enables interaction with nearly any API. Define endpoint URLs, parameters, and authentication to include non-standard services in your workflow that are not natively supported by n8n.
Supported actions in n8n for awork:
Delete
Get
Head
Options
Patch
Post
Put
How it works
Create an account
In your awork workspace, go to Settings > Integrations
Select n8n under the API Connectors category from the library
Click Set up integration to go to the n8n page, or use this direct link
Sign up for an n8n account – n8n offers a 14-day free trial
2. Set up the integration
a. Using the Community Node
In your n8n account, go to Settings > Community Nodes > Install > Enter.
Enter the following package name:
n8n-nodes-aworkYou will now find awork as a regular tool in your n8n playground with all pre-built automations
From here, you can start building your custom workflow
b. Using the API
Click Add Workflow in your account to start a new workflow
Decide when your workflow should start, for example, based on a schedule or manually
To set up the awork integration, add an HTTP Request Node to your workflow. More details can be found here
Log in using a common authentication method. The HTTP Request Node allows you to make API calls to awork to retrieve the necessary data from the URLs
👉🏼 Learn here how to get an API key for authentication
Connect the awork node to another node (this defines the action that will follow the event triggered in awork)
3. Finalize your workflow
Test the workflow to ensure the nodes are properly connected
Save the workflow and activate it so that it runs automatically
By following these steps, you have successfully created and activated your first n8n workflow. For more information, check here.
