Enhancing features with N8N
Hi there,
I wanted to bring this great app to your attention. We have been using it for a while now and I think its wonderful. N8N is an open-source workflow automation app which can be hosted on-prem or in their cloud. It is similar to Zapier, however in our case the self-hosting capabilities was a necessity.
It is easy to use with their WYSIWYG-interface and most can be done with zero-coding. The beauty is that workflows can be downloaded and shared. Ill try to upload a few of mine.
We have designed a few, such as;
- With a Blox-form authorized users can upload data to a database which is then used in a EC
- Send a pulse to N8N which then exports the dashboard to PDF and sends it to the user instead of solely the pulse notification
- Asking dashboard access from our dashboard catalog
- A simple report manager; authorized users can select dashboards or widgets which needs to be send to any email. This is submitted via Blox and stored in a database. With a Cron in N8N it selects the reports from the database for that timeslot and then sends it. In some cases we expanded this by not only sending a PDF, but also CSV/Excel files.
Just wanted to bring this to your attention, since it helped us out a lot 🙂
