AlienVault and FileMaker integration

Make sure you have n8n installed and running:

• Install n8n on any platform using npm or Docker;
• Or let n8n host it for you on its cloud infrastructure.

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: on an app event, on schedule, on a webhook call, when called by another workflow, or manually. In some cases, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Drag the FileMaker node from the nodes panel on the left to the workflow canvas. Before dragging, choose the action FileMaker will perform. You can also swap steps and add the AlienVault node first, as the step 4.

Click on the FileMaker node, then click on the "Select credential" dropdown option next to the “Credential to connect with” field. Follow the authentication process to grant n8n access to your FileMaker. You can also share credentials you've created, and store sensitive credential information in an external vault using n8n's external secrets feature.

Add the HTTP Request node to your workflow canvas and authenticate it using a predefined credential type. This allows you to perform custom operations, without additional authentication setup.

Click on the HTTP node to configure its settings. Use the AlienVault API docs to construct your request. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to AlienVault to query the data you need using the URLs you provide. See the example here.

Connect the output of the AlienVault node to the input of the FileMaker node or vice versa.
