GraphQL and HTTP Request integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for GraphQL and HTTP Request and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Data & Storage, Development, and Core Nodes workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect GraphQL and HTTP Request

  • 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 GraphQL and HTTP Request nodes

You can find GraphQL and HTTP Request in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure GraphQL and HTTP Request nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect GraphQL and HTTP Request

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

Step 5: Test and activate your GraphQL and HTTP Request workflow

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

Create Linear tickets from Notion content

This workflow allows you to define multiple tickets/issues in a Notion page, then easily import them into Linear.

Why is it useful?

We use this workflow internally at n8n for collaboration between Product and Engineering teams:

  • Engineering needs all work to be in our ticketing system (Linear) in order to keep track of it
  • Product prefers to review features in Notion. This is because it and can be used to dump all your thoughts and organise them into themes afterwards, plus it better supports rich content like videos

Features

  • Supports rich formatting (bullets, images, videos, links, etc.)
  • Keeps links between the Notion and Linear version, in case you need to refer back
  • Allows you to assign each issue to a team member in the Notion definition
  • Avoids importing the same issues twice if you run it again on the same page (meaning you can issues incrementally)

You can see an example of the required format of the Notion page here.

Low Stock & Sold Out Watcher for Shopify

This n8n workflow automates the process of monitoring inventory levels for Shopify products, ensuring timely updates and efficient stock management. It is designed to alert users when inventory levels are low or out of stock, integrating with Shopify's webhook system and providing notifications through Discord (can be changed to any messaging platform) with product images and details. Workflow Overview Webhook Node (Shopify Listener): This node is set up to listen for Shopify's inventory level webhook. It triggers the workflow whenever there is an update in the inventory levels. The webhook is configured in Shopify settings, where the n8n URL is specified to receive inventory level updates. Function Node (Inventory Check): This node processes the data received from the Shopify webhook. It extracts the available inventory and the inventory item ID, and determines whether the inventory is low (less than 4 items) or out of stock. Condition Nodes (Inventory Level Check): Two condition nodes follow the function node. One checks if the inventory is low (low_inventory equals true), and the other checks if the inventory is out of stock (out_of_stock equals true). GraphQL Node (Product Details Retrieval): Connected to the condition nodes, this node fetches detailed information about the product using Shopify's GraphQL API. It retrieves the product variant, title, current inventory quantity, and the first product image. HTTP Node (Discord Notification): The final node in the workflow sends a notification to Discord. It includes an embed with the product title, a warning message ("This product is running out of stock!"), the remaining inventory quantity, product variant details, and the product image. The notification ensures that relevant stakeholders are immediately informed about critical inventory levels.
