How to connect Canvas and Postgres

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.

To set up Canvas integration, add the HTTP Request node to your workflow canvas and authenticate it using a generic authentication method. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Canvas to query the data you need using the API endpoint URLs you provide.

Requires additional credentials set up

Use n8n’s HTTP Request node with a predefined or generic credential type to make custom API calls.
