Webhook and Postgres integration

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

How to connect Webhook and Postgres

  • 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 Webhook and Postgres nodes

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

Step 3: Connect Webhook and Postgres

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

Step 5: Test and activate your Webhook and Postgres workflow

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

🤖 Advanced Slackbot with n8n

Use case

Slackbots are super powerful. At n8n, we have been using them to get a lot done.. But it can become hard to manage and maintain many different operations that a workflow can do.

This is the base workflow we use for our most powerful internal Slackbots. They handle a lot from running e2e tests for Github branch to deleting a user. By splitting the workflow into many subworkflows, we are able to handle each command seperately, making it easier to debug as well as support new usecases.

In this template, you can find eveything to setup your own Slackbot (and I made it simple, there's only one node to configure 😉). After that, you need to build your commands directly.

This bot can create a new thread on an alerts channel and respond there.

Or reply directly to the user.
Screenshot 20240301 at 07.53.41.png

It responds for help request to return a help page.
Screenshot 20240301 at 08.16.40.png

It automatically handles unknown commands.
Screenshot 20240301 at 08.16.54.png

It also supports flags and environment variables. For example /cloudbot-test info mutasem --full-info -e env=prod would give you the following info, when calling subworkflow.
Screenshot 20240301 at 08.34.31.png

How to setup

  1. Add Slack command and point it up to the webhook. For example.
    Screenshot 20240229 at 22.09.40.png
  2. Add the following to the Set config node
  • alerts_channel with alerts channel to start threads on
  • instance_url with this instance url to make it easy to debug
  • slack_token with slack bot token to validate request
  • slack_secret_signature with slack secret signature to validate request
  • help_docs_url with help url to help users understand the commands
  1. Build other workflows to call and add them to commands in Set Config. Each command must be mapped to a workflow id with an Execute Workflow Trigger node
  2. Activate workflow 🚀

How to adjust

  1. Add your own commands.
  2. Depending on your need, you might need to lock down who can call this.

Suspicious Login Detection

This n8n workflow is designed for security monitoring and incident response when suspicious login events are detected. It can be initiated either manually from within the n8n UI for testing or automatically triggered by a webhook when a new login event occurs. The workflow first extracts relevant data from the incoming webhook payload, including the IP address, user agent, timestamp, URL, and user ID. It then splits into three parallel processing paths. In the first path, it queries GreyNoise's Community API to retrieve information about the investigated IP address. Depending on the classification and trust level received from GreyNoise, the alert is given a High, Medium, or Low priority. This priority is assigned based on the best practices documentation from GreyNoise on how to apply their data to analysis. Once a priority is assigned, a message is sent to a Slack channel to notify users about the alert. The second path involves fetching geolocation data about the IP address using IP-API's Geolocation API and merging it with data from the UserParser node. This data is then combined with the data obtained from GreyNoise. In the third path, the UserParser node queries the Userparser IP address and user agent lookup API to obtain information about the user's IP and user agent. This data is merged with the IP-API data and GreyNoise data. The workflow then checks if the IP address is considered an unknown threat by examining both the noise and riot fields from GreyNoise. If it is considered an unknown threat, the workflow proceeds to retrieve the last 10 login records for the same user from a Postgres database. If there are any discrepancies in the login information, indicating a new location or device/browser, the user is informed via email. Potential issues when setting up this workflow include ensuring that credentials are correctly entered for GreyNoise and UserParser nodes, and addressing any discrepancies in the data sources that could lead to false positives or negatives in threat detection. Additionally, the usage of hardcoded API keys should be replaced with credentials for security and flexibility. Thorough testing and validation with sample data are crucial to ensure the workflow performs as expected and aligns with security incident response procedures.

Webhook and Postgres integration details

integrationWebhook node
Webhook

Webhooks are automatic notifications that apps send when something occurs. They are sent to a certain URL, which is effectively the app's phone number or address, and contain a message or payload. Polling is nearly never quicker than webhooks, and it takes less effort from you.

Use case

Save engineering resources

Reduce time spent on customer integrations, engineer faster POCs, keep your customer-specific functionality separate from product all without having to code.
