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 Zulip and OpenCTI (using the HTTP Request node)

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