n8n

n8n is an open-source, low-code workflow automation platform to build and run custom, complex automations by connecting different apps and services using a visual, node-based interface.

Integrations and Connectors

AgilePoint NX integrates in these ways with n8n:

  • Activities in Process Builder
  • AI Control Towers
  • Access tokens

Activities in Process Builder

You can use out-of-the-box activities for n8n to execute actions in process-based apps.

An activity is a functional unit, or task, in a process-based app. Activities that integrate with a third-party system provide access to the API functionality for that system in a simple, point-and-click, form-entry format. This means that you can easily leverage APIs without writing code.

Process Activities for n8n

The following activities are available for n8n:

  • Invoke Agent

For more information, refer to the process activities for n8n in Process Builder.

AI Control Towers

You can use n8n AI Control Towers to orchestrate operations within your apps.

An AI Control Tower is a process activity used for robust, secure monitoring that work with predictive AI to improve workflows with dynamic, predictive capabilities. These predictive AI agents enable real-time monitoring, control, and adaptation for process instances, dynamically adjusting them based on AI-driven predictions. AI Control Towers seamlessly handle AI agent integration and orchestration across multiple apps. AI Control Towers also provides centralized, real-time monitoring and analytics features that leverage AI to help organizations oversee their operations, improve governance, and optimize their business processes.

The following AI Control Towers are available for n8n:

  • Adapt Flow
  • Ad Hoc Task
  • Initiate Subprocess
  • Invoke Agent
  • Send Notification

Access Tokens

You can create access tokens for n8n.

An access token is a secure object that stores an endpoint (usually a URL) and authentication credentials to connect to a service or technology. Often this is an external or third-party service, like Salesforce or SharePoint, but access tokens can also connect to an AgilePoint NX enviornment, local database, or other types of technologies. Once an access token is created, app designers can simply select and reuse it, rather than entering the credentials each time they are needed.

For more information, refer to Access Token for n8n.
