bcgov/biohubbc/n8n

Webhook and workflow automation tool used within our application.

Documenation

N8N: https://docs.n8n.io/

Running Locally

Within the n8n directory, there is a folder credentials which contains the encrypted credential details for webhook HTTP requests to use. There is also the workflows directory which contains the workflow file(s). When a make clean web is run, these credentials and workflows are imported into n8n and can be called from within our app.

If a change needs to be made to the existing credentials/workflows or a new one needs to be added, this can be done from the browser in the local instance of n8n which is running at http://localhost:5678. When the changes have been made, make sure to save and then run the following command from the terminal/cmd line:

make n8n-export

This will export your changes and store them in the folders mentioned above so that next time a clean web command is issued, the appropriate latest credentials and workflows will be imported into n8n and the webhooks will work as expected.
