Webhook and Airtable integration

This workflow creates an automatic self-hosted URL shortener. It consists of three sub-workflows: Short URL creation for extracting the provided long URL, generating an ID, and saving the record in the database. It returns a short link as a result. Redirection for extracting the ID value, validating the existence of its correspondent record in the database, and returning a redirection page after updating the visits (click) count. Dashboard for calculating simple statistics about the saved record and displaying them on a dashboard. Read more about this use case and how to set up the workflow in the blog post How to build a low-code, self-hosted URL shortener in 3 steps. Prerequisites A local proxy set up that redirects the n8n.ly domain to your n8n instance An Airtable account and credentials Basic knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS Nodes Webhook nodes trigger the sub-workflows on calls to a specified link. IF nodes route the workflows based on specified query parameters. Set nodes set the required values returned by the previous nodes (id, longUrl, and shortUrl). Airtable nodes retrieve records (values) from or append records to the database. Function node calculates statistics on link clicks to be displayed on the dashboard, as well as its design. Crypto node generates a SHA256 hash.

This workflow demonstrates how to can use Redis to implement rate limits to your API. The workflow uses the incoming API key to uniquely identify the user and use it as a key in Redis. Every time a request is made, the value is incremented by one, and we check for the threshold using the IF node. Duplicate the following Airtable to try out the workflow: https://airtable.com/shraudfG9XAvqkBpF

This workflow automatically deletes user data from different apps/services when a specific slash command is issued in Slack. Watch this talk and demo to learn more about this use case. The demo uses Slack, but Mattermost is Slack-compatible, so you can also connect Mattermost in this workflow. Prerequisites Accounts and credentials for the apps/services you want to use. Some basic knowledge of JavaScript. Nodes Webhook node triggers the workflow when a Slack slash command is issued. IF nodes confirm Slack's verification token and verify that the data has the expected format. Set node simplifies the payload. Switch node chooses the correct path for the operation to perform. Respond to Webhook nodes send responses back to Slack. Execute Workflow nodes call sub-workflows tailored to deleting data from each individual service. Function node, Crypto node, and Airtable node generate and store a log entry containing a hash value. HTTP Request node sends the final response back to Slack.

Who is this template for? This workflow template is designed for teams involved in training management and feedback analysis. It is particularly useful for: HR Departments**: Automating the collection and response to training feedback. Training Managers**: Streamlining the process of handling feedback and ensuring timely follow-up. Corporate Trainers**: Receiving direct feedback and taking actions to improve training sessions. This workflow offers a comprehensive solution for automating feedback management, ensuring timely responses, and improving the quality of training programs. How it works This workflow operates with an Airtable trigger but can be easily adapted to work with other triggers like webhooks from external applications. Once feedback data is captured, the workflow evaluates the feedback and directs it to the appropriate channel for action. Tasks are created in Usertask based on the feedback rating, and notifications are sent to relevant parties. Here’s a brief overview of this n8n workflow template: Airtable Trigger**: Captures new or updated feedback entries from Airtable. Switch Node**: Evaluates the feedback rating and directs the workflow based on the rating. Webhook**: Retrieves the result of a Usertask task. Task Creation**: Creates tasks in Usertask for poor feedback. Creates follow-up tasks for fair to good feedback. Documents positive feedback and posts recognition on LinkedIn for very good to excellent ratings. Notifications**: Sends email notifications to responsible parties for urgent actions. Sends congratulatory emails and posts on LinkedIn for positive feedback. To summarize Flexible Integration**: This workflow can be triggered by various methods like Airtable updates or webhooks from other applications. Automated Task Management**: It creates tasks in Usertask based on feedback ratings to ensure timely follow-up. Multichannel Notifications**: Sends notifications via email and LinkedIn to keep stakeholders informed and recognize successes. Comprehensive Feedback Handling**: Automates the evaluation and response to training feedback, improving efficiency and response time. Instructions: Set Up Airtable: Create a table in Airtable to capture training feedback. Configure n8n: Set up the Airtable trigger in n8n to capture new or updated feedback entries. Set Up Usertask: Configure the Usertask nodes in n8n to create and manage tasks based on feedback ratings. Configure Email and LinkedIn Nodes: Set up the email and LinkedIn nodes to send notifications and post updates. Test the Workflow: Run tests to ensure the workflow captures feedback, creates tasks, and sends notifications correctly.

This workflow will allow you to use OpenAI Assistant API together with a chatting platform. This version is configured to work with Hubspot, however, the Hubspot modules can be replaced by other platform and it will work similarly. Prerequisites: Create a Hubspot Chat (Live chat available on free plan) or Chatflow (paid hubspot only) and configure it to send all replies toward an n8n webhook (you need to create a custom app for that. I will create a separate article on how to do it, meanwhile, feel free to message me if you need support. Setup: Create a OpenAI Assistant, define its functionality and functions Update the Hubspot modules with the Hubspot API Key Update the OpenAI modules with OpenAI API Key Create an Airtable or any other database where you keep a reference between the thread id in Hubspot and Assistant API If you need help deploying this solution don't hesitate to email me or schedule a call here.

What this template does This workflow will collect order data as it is produced, then send a summary email of all orders at the end of every day, formatted in a table. It receives new orders via webhook and stores in Airtable. At 7PM every day, it sends a summary email with the day's orders in a HTML table Setup: Instructions Video Create a new table in Airtable and give it a field time with type date, orderID with type number, and orderPrice also with type number. Create a new access token if you haven't already at https://airtable.com/create/tokens/new. Make sure to give the token the scopes data.records:read, data.records:write, schema.bases:read and access to whichever table you choose to store the orders. A pop-up window appears with the token. Use this token to make Create New Credential > Access Token for Airtable in the Store Order and Airtable Get Today's Orders nodes. Create access credentials for your Gmail as described here: https://developers.google.com/workspace/guides/create-credentials. Use the credentials from your client_secret.json in the Send to Gmail node. In the Store Order node, change Base and Table to the database and table in your Airtable account you wish to use to store orders. Make sure to use these same values in the Airtable Get Today's Orders node. Every time an order is created in your system, send a POST request to Webhook from your order software. Each request must contain a single order containing fields 'orderID' and 'orderPrice' (or, edit Set Order Fields to select which incoming fields you wish to save) Change the schedule time for sending email from Everyday at 7PM to whichever time you choose. Test: Activate the workflow. From the node Webhook, copy Production URL Send the following CURL request to the URL given to you: curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"orderID": 12345, "orderPrice": 99.99}' YOUR_URL_HERE It should say Node executed successfully. Now check your Airtable and confirm the order was stored in the right place.

Sometimes you need the rich text field to be in HTML instead of Markdown. This template either syncs a single record or all records at once. Youtube tutorial

This n8n workflow template allows you to create a CRUD endpoint that performs the following actions: Create a new record Get a record Get many records Update a record Delete a record This template is connected with Airtable but you can replace the Airtable nodes with anything you need to interact with (e.g. Postgres, MySQL, Notion, Coda...). The template uses the n8n Webhook node setting 'Allow Multiple HTTP Methods' to enable multiple HTTP methods on the same node. Features Just two nodes to create 5 endpoints Use it with Airtable or replace the Airtable nodes for your own customization Add your custom logic exploiting all n8n's possibilities Workflow Steps Webhook node**: exposes the endpoints to get many records and create a new record Webhook (with ID) node**: exposes the endpoints to get, update, and delete a record. Due to a n8n limitation, this endpoint will have an additional code in the path (e.g. https://my.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/580ccc56-f308-4b64-961d-38323501a170/customers/:id). Keep this in mind when using these endpoints in your application Various Airtable nodes**: execute various specific operations to interact with Airtable records Getting Started To deploy and use this template: Import the workflow into your n8n workspace Customize the endpoint paths by tweaking the 'Path' parameters in the 'Webhook' and 'Webhook (with ID)' nodes (currently customers) Set up your Airtable credentials by following this guide and customize the Airtable nodes by selecting your base, table, and the correct fields to update. ...or... replace the Airtable nodes and connect the endpoint to any other service (e.g. Postgres, MySQL, Notion, Coda) How to use the workflow Activate the workflow Connect your app to the endpoints (production URLs) to perform the various operations allowed by the workflow Note that the Webhook nodes have two URLs, one for testing and one for production. The testing URL is activated when you click on 'Test workflow' button and can't be used for production. The production URL is available after you activate the workflow. More info here.
