How ITOps teams use n8n to make mincemeat of mundane tasks

Helpdesk and ticketing

Answer FAQs in real time

Connect bots in Slack or Teams to your knowledge base using out-of-the-box AI agents to respond instantly to common queries.

Take control of your ticket queue

No more stressing over misplaced or backlogged tickets. Automate pre-defined rules for categorizing, triaging, and escalating your tickets to fix critical issues faster.

Reduce password reset requests

Make painfully dull manual password resets a thing of the past. Trigger a workflow to automate the reset for you when users submit a self-service request. And focus on something you actually enjoy instead.

Employee lifecycle

Onboard employees faster

Get new employees up to speed in no time by automatically provisioning accounts and assigning the correct permissions as soon as HR confirms a hire.

Eliminate offboarding security risks

Rest assured that nothing slips through the cracks by immediately revoking system access, deactivating accounts, and securely archiving data when you get an offboarding request.

Bye-bye to access request backlog

End the frustration of drawn-out manual approval by automating your process for software and system access requests. So you can focus on higher-value tasks instead.

Run rapid root cause analysis

Gather and analyze logs and system data to identify the root cause of an incident so you can fix the problem faster.

Stress-free stakeholder communication

Confusion creeps in fast as comms slow down when you handle incidents manually. With n8n, you can give status updates to stakeholders with automated notifications so everyone stays on the same page.

    Template library

    You won’t have to reinvent the workflow

    Create workflows in minutes with 70+ ready-to-go ITOps templates — and counting. Our developer community adds new templates to the library for common use cases every month.

    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.

    Case Study

    How Stepstone finishes 2 weeks’ work in only 2 hours with n8n workflows

    n8n_image

    The challenge: The Stepstone Group faced a challenge with new job adverts' time-to-market. Varied formats from employers required data sanitization and standardization, lacking a seamless integration method. This necessitated a data integration sprint, taking about two weeks.

    The solution: Stepstone implemented n8n on AWS instances with a PostgreSQL database. The setup is leveraging AI to parse and update adverts automatically with significant time savings and the ability to experiment and test workflows efficiently.

    “We’ve sped up our integration of data sources by 25X."

    "It takes me 2 hours max to connect up APIs and transform the data we need. You can’t do this that fast in code.”
