Filescan and Matrix integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Filescan and Matrix and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Cybersecurity, and Communication workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Filescan and Matrix

  • 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 Matrix and Filescan (using the HTTP Request node)

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

Step 3: Connect Matrix and Filescan

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

Step 5: Test and activate your Matrix and Filescan workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Matrix to Filescan 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.
