What is n8n Integration in Feedspace?

Overview

Feedspace integrates with n8n, an open-source workflow automation tool available as a self-hosted solution or a cloud service. Using Feedspace webhooks and n8n’s workflow nodes, you can automatically send notifications, back up testimonials, and connect Feedspace to hundreds of other services whenever a new testimonial is submitted.

Automation through n8n requires the Feedspace webhook feature, available on Professional and Business plans.

How Feedspace connects with n8n

The Feedspace and n8n integration works through webhooks:

1. You create a Webhook Trigger node in n8n, which gives you a unique webhook URL.
2. You register that URL in Feedspace under Automation, then the Webhook tab.
3. Every time a new testimonial is submitted in Feedspace, the event payload is sent to n8n automatically.
4. n8n processes the data and triggers downstream nodes, such as Slack, Discord, Google Drive, or any other connected service.

What you can automate with n8n

• Send Slack or Discord messages when a new testimonial arrives
• Forward testimonial alerts to Telegram or WhatsApp
• Upload video testimonial files to Google Drive or Dropbox
• Create Notion database entries from new testimonials
• Send email notifications or push data to any HTTP endpoint

Step 1: Set up n8n

You can use n8n in two ways:

• n8n Cloud: sign up at n8n.io for a managed instance.
• Self-hosted: install n8n on your own server using npm (npm install -g n8n) or Docker.

Step 2: Create a workflow with a webhook trigger

1. Log in to your n8n instance. On the home screen, click Build a workflow.
2. In the workflow editor, click Add first step…
3. A panel opens showing “What triggers this workflow?”. Select On webhook call.
4. In the Webhook node panel, change HTTP Method from GET to POST.
5. Click the Production URL tab and copy the webhook URL shown. Use this URL when registering the webhook in Feedspace.

Step 3: Register the webhook in Feedspace

1. Log in to your Feedspace workspace.
2. Click Automation in the left sidebar, then click the Webhook tab.
3. Click Create Webhook, paste the n8n webhook URL into the endpoint field, and click Create Webhook to save.
4. Click Activate in the Action column on the new webhook row to start sending event data to n8n. All available events are subscribed by default.

Step 4: Add action nodes and activate

1. Back in n8n, add the action nodes you need (Slack, Discord, Google Drive, etc.).
2. Map the fields from the Feedspace webhook payload to each action node.
3. Click Listen for test event in the Webhook node panel to confirm the webhook receives data from Feedspace, then click Publish in the top right to make the workflow live.

What’s next

Once your workflow is active, n8n will process every new Feedspace testimonial automatically. For platform-specific guides, see the related articles below.

Common questions

Is n8n free?

n8n is open-source and free to self-host. The cloud plan at n8n.io has a free trial and paid plans based on workflow executions. On the Feedspace side, webhooks require a Professional or Business plan.

How is n8n different from Zapier or Make?

n8n is open-source and can be self-hosted, giving you full control over your data. It uses a node-based editor similar to Make but with more developer-friendly features like code nodes and custom HTTP requests. Zapier and Make have native Feedspace modules, while n8n connects via Feedspace webhooks and HTTP nodes.

Does n8n use the Automation Secret Key?

No. n8n connects to Feedspace through the webhook system, not through the Automation Secret Key. You register the n8n webhook URL in the Webhook tab of the Feedspace Automation module.
