How to connect Filescan 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 Filescan (using the HTTP Request node)

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