Faraday and Orbit integration
Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Faraday and Orbit and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable AI, and Analytics workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
How to connect Faraday and Orbit
- Step 1: Create a new workflow
- Step 2: Add and configure nodes
- Step 3: Connect
- Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
- Step 5: Test and activate your workflow
Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
Step 2: Add and configure Orbit and Faraday nodes (using the HTTP Request node)
You can find the Orbit node in the nodes panel and drag it onto your workflow canvas. To add the Faraday app to the workflow select the HTTP Request node and use the generic authentication method to make custom API calls to Faraday. Configure Faraday and Orbit one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
Step 3: Connect Orbit and Faraday
A connection establishes a link between Orbit and Faraday (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.
Step 4: Customize and extend your Orbit and Faraday integration
Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Orbit and Faraday with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your Faraday and Orbit workflow
Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Faraday to Orbit or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.
Build your own Faraday and Orbit integration
Create custom Faraday and Orbit workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
