How to connect Ably and Metabase
- 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 Metabase and Ably nodes (using the HTTP Request node)
You can find the Metabase node in the nodes panel and drag it onto your workflow canvas. To add the Ably app to the workflow select the HTTP Request node and use the generic authentication method to make custom API calls to Ably. Configure Ably and Metabase one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
Step 3: Connect Metabase and Ably
A connection establishes a link between Metabase and Ably (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 Metabase and Ably 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 Metabase and Ably with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your Ably and Metabase workflow
Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Ably to Metabase 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.
