n8n is an extensible open-source platform for workflow automation that lets you integrate awork with apps and services without any coding knowledge.

Key Benefits and Use Cases

Use n8n to automatically connect workflows between awork and your other tools.

• Automate data flows by connecting awork with other services and apps
• Work in both directions by pulling data from awork, processing it and forwarding it, or sending data back to awork
• Create workflows visually by setting up and connecting nodes in n8n's graphical interface

How n8n Integration Works

n8n uses nodes to connect awork with other services and apps. Nodes act as interfaces through which actions can be performed in both directions.

Workflows are created by setting up nodes and connecting them to each other. You start with a trigger (start node) and then add nodes with the following actions.

Supported actions in n8n for awork:

• Delete
• Get
• Head
• Options
• Patch
• Post
• Put

How to Use 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

1. Go to Settings > Community Nodes > Install > Enter in your n8n account
2. Enter the package name: n8n-nodes-awork
3. Find awork in your n8n workspace with all pre-built automations
4. Start building your custom workflow

Option B: Use the API with an HTTP Request Node

1. Click Add Workflow in your n8n account to start a new workflow
2. Decide when your workflow should start (for example, on a schedule or manually)
3. Add an HTTP Request Node to your workflow (details here)
4. Authenticate using a common authentication method and make API calls to awork to retrieve data via the URLs
5. Connect the awork node to another node to specify which action should follow the event triggered in awork

Finalize Your Workflow

1. Test the workflow to make sure the nodes are connected correctly
2. Save the workflow and activate it so it runs automatically

Tips

• Start simple by creating a workflow with a trigger and one action that follows
• Use the Community Node first if you want to use pre-built awork automations in n8n
• Use the HTTP Request Node if you need custom API calls that go beyond what the Community Node can do
