How to connect Ably and Cisco Meraki

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 Cisco Meraki and Ably nodes using the HTTP Request nodes

You can find the Cisco Meraki node in the nodes panel and drag it onto your workflow canvas. It will be added as the HTTP Request node with a pre-configured credential type. To add the Ably app to the workflow, select the HTTP Request node and use a generic authentication method. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Cisco Meraki and Ably. Configure Cisco Meraki and Ably nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
