Setting up workflows in N8N leaves almost endless possibilities to combine your toolstack. It's impossible to list all of those possibilities in a help article, so below are some examples as inspiration to get started.
First, check out our article on how to connect to N8N 👉 Quick link.
In this article:
1. Articles trigger internal flows
Webhook receives article with data
Creates an email/message in your email tool
Responds to StoryChief with the ID, URL & date
Creates a task in Google tasks
2. Send a Slack message when a new article is published
Webhook receives article with data
⚠️ The N8N webhook needs to be selected as an EXTRA website, not as the primary destination
Creates a Slack message to your preferred channel
Fetches the message permalink from Slack
Responds to StoryChief with the ID, URL & date
Slack messages don't seem to have a specific ID, so we used a combination of the channel ID and the timestamp. This is similar to how the permalink is constructed
{
"id": "{{ $json.channel }}/p{{ $('Send a message').item.json.message_timestamp }}",
"permalink": "{{ $json.permalink }}",
"mac": "thisismywebhookkey"
}
