n8n Integration

Use HTTP Request nodes to send notifications and receive responses from your n8n workflows.

Simple Notification

Add an HTTP Request node with:

Body:

{
  "title": "Workflow Complete",
  "body": "{{ $json.summary }}",
  "priority": "normal"
}

Dynamic Content

Use n8n expressions to include workflow data:

{
  "title": "New Lead: {{ $json.name }}",
  "body": "Email: {{ $json.email }}\nCompany: {{ $json.company }}",
  "actions": [
    {"type": "url", "label": "View Lead", "value": "{{ $json.crm_url }}"}
  ]
}

Bidirectional Workflow (Ping it Back)

Create human-in-the-loop workflows where n8n waits for your mobile response.

Workflow Structure

Step 1: Send Notification with Buttons

HTTP Request node:

Body:

{
  "title": "Approve Purchase Order",
  "body": "{{ $json.vendor }} - ${{ $json.amount }}",
  "priority": "high",
  "actions": [
    {"type": "button", "label": "Approve", "key": "approve", "style": "primary"},
    {"type": "button", "label": "Reject", "key": "reject", "style": "destructive"}
  ]
}

Step 2: Loop Node (Poll for Response)

Add a Loop node that polls until a response is received:

Inside the loop, add an HTTP Request:

Step 3: Branch on Response

Add an IF node:

Then route to "Approved" or "Rejected" branches.

Use Cases

• Purchase order approvals - Route to payment processing or rejection
• Access request workflows - Grant or deny permissions
• Content moderation - Publish or flag content
• Escalation confirmations - Acknowledge alerts

Error Notifications

Add an Error Trigger workflow to notify on failures:

1. Create a new workflow with Error Trigger
2. Add HTTP Request node to send notification
3. Include error details in the body:

{
  "title": "Workflow Failed",
  "body": "{{ $json.workflow.name }}: {{ $json.execution.error.message }}",
  "priority": "high",
  "actions": [
    {"type": "url", "label": "View Execution", "value": "{{ $json.execution.url }}"}
  ]
}
