How to connect Slack and VirusTotal

  • 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 Slack and VirusTotal (using the HTTP Request node)

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

Step 3: Connect Slack and VirusTotal

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

Step 5: Test and activate your Slack and VirusTotal workflow

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