HTTP Request and Slack integration

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

How to connect HTTP Request and Slack

  • 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 HTTP Request and Slack nodes

You can find HTTP Request and Slack 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 HTTP Request and Slack nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 4: Customize and extend your HTTP Request and Slack 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 HTTP Request and Slack with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

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

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

Back Up Your n8n Workflows To Github

This workflow will backup your workflows to Github. It uses the public api to export all of the workflow data using the n8n node.

It then loops over the data checks in Github to see if a file exists that uses the workflow name. Once checked it will then update the file on Github if it exists, Create a new file if it doesn't exist and if it's the same it will ignore the file.

Config Options
repo_owner - Github owner

repo_name - Github repository name

repo_path - Path within the Github repository

>This workflow has been updated to use the n8n node and the code node so requires at least version 0.198.0 of n8n

Create LinkedIn Contributions with AI and Notify Users On Slack

This workflow automates the process of gathering LinkedIn advice articles, extracting their content, and generating unique contributions for each article using an AI model. The contributions are then posted to a Slack channel and a NocoDB database for record-keeping. The workflow is triggered weekly to ensure new articles are continuously collected and responded to. Who is this for? This workflow is designed for professionals, marketers, and content creators looking to boost their LinkedIn presence by regularly engaging with LinkedIn advice articles. It’s especially useful for those who want to be seen as a "thought leader" or "top voice" in their niche by contributing relevant and unique advice to trending topics. What problem is this workflow solving? Manually searching for relevant LinkedIn articles, reading through them, and crafting thoughtful contributions can be time-consuming. This workflow solves that by automating the process of finding new articles, extracting key content, and generating AI-powered contributions. It helps users stay consistently active on LinkedIn, contributing value to trending discussions. What this workflow does Triggers Weekly: The workflow is set to run every Monday at 8:00 AM. Search Google for LinkedIn Advice Articles: Uses a predefined Google search URL to find the latest LinkedIn advice articles based on the user's area of expertise. Extract LinkedIn Article Links: A code node extracts all LinkedIn advice article links from the search results. Retrieve Article Content: For each article link, the workflow retrieves the HTML content and extracts the article title, topics, and existing contributions. Generate AI-Powered Contributions: The workflow sends the extracted article content to an AI model, which generates unique, helpful advice for each topic within the article. Post to Slack & NocoDB: The AI-generated contributions, along with the article links, are posted to a designated Slack channel and stored in a NocoDB database for future reference. Setup Google Search URL: Update the Google search URL with the relevant LinkedIn advice query for your field (e.g., "site:linkedin.com/advice 'marketing automation'"). Slack Integration: Connect your Slack account and specify the Slack channel where you want the contributions to be posted. NocoDB Integration: Set up your NocoDB project to store the generated contributions along with the article titles and links. How to customize this workflow Change Search Terms**: Modify the Google search URL to focus on a different LinkedIn topic or expertise area. Adjust Trigger Frequency**: The workflow is set to run weekly, but you can adjust the frequency by changing the schedule trigger. Enhance Contribution Quality**: Customize the AI model's prompt to generate contributions that align with your brand voice or content strategy. Workflow Summary This workflow helps users maintain a consistent presence on LinkedIn by automating the discovery of new advice articles and generating unique contributions using AI. It is ideal for professionals who want to engage with LinkedIn content regularly without spending too much time manually searching and drafting responses.

Host your own Uptime Monitoring with Scheduled Triggers

This n8n workflow demonstrates how to build a simple uptime monitoring service using scheduled triggers. Useful for webmasters with a handful of sites who want a cost-effective solution without the need for all the bells and whistles. How it works Scheduled trigger reads a list of website urls in a Google Sheet every 5 minutes Each website url is checked using the HTTP node which determines if the website is either in the UP or DOWN state. An email and Slack message are sent for websites which are in the DOWN state. The Google Sheet is updated with the website's state and a log created. Logs can be used to determine total % of UP and DOWN time over a period. Requirements Google Sheet for storing websites to monitor and their states Gmail for email alerts Slack for channel alerts Customising the workflow Don't use Google Sheets? This can easily be exchanged with Excel or Airtable.
