How to connect Cisco Meraki and Mattermost

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 Mattermost and Cisco Meraki (using the HTTP Request node)

You can find Mattermost and Cisco Meraki nodes in the nodes panel and drag them onto your workflow canvas. Mattermost node comes with pre-built credentials and supported actions. Cisco Meraki can be set up with the HTTP Request node using a pre-configured credential type. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Cisco Meraki. Configure Mattermost and Cisco Meraki nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Mattermost and Cisco Meraki

A connection establishes a link between Mattermost and Cisco Meraki (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 Mattermost and Cisco Meraki 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 Mattermost and Cisco Meraki with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
