Self-host: recommended method for full-control or customized use cases. Unlike other platforms that charge per operation, step, or task, n8n charges only for full workflow executions. This approach guarantees predictable costs and scalability, no matter the complexity or volume of your workflows.

Cisco Meraki and Orbit: Automate Workflows with n8n

How to connect Cisco Meraki and Orbit

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 Orbit and Cisco Meraki (using the HTTP Request node)

You can find Orbit and Cisco Meraki nodes in the nodes panel and drag them onto your workflow canvas. Orbit 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 Orbit and Cisco Meraki nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
