Connect n8n and Expertise can work with your workflows directly: see which ones are active, check recent execution history, and trigger a workflow’s webhook on demand. Reads are instant; activating, deactivating, or triggering a workflow pauses for your approval first.

​
What you can ask

“What workflows do I have, and which are active?”
“Show me the last few runs of my onboarding-email workflow.”
“Why did that workflow execution fail?”
“Trigger the lead-sync workflow now.” (asks for approval before running)
“Turn off the abandoned-cart workflow.” (asks for approval before running)

​
Connecting

  1. Open Connections in the dashboard and click n8n → Connect.
  2. Enter your n8n instance URL, https://<name>.app.n8n.cloud for n8n Cloud, or your self-hosted URL.
  3. In n8n, create an API key under Settings → n8n API, then paste it in.
  4. Ask Expertise to list your n8n workflows to confirm it’s live.

​
Tools

​
Good to know

  • Triggering needs an active workflow with a webhook. Expertise can only run a workflow this way if it’s turned on and starts with a Webhook trigger node, for anything else, run it from n8n directly.
  • Workflow-side webhook auth isn’t supported. If your webhook trigger expects its own authentication, Expertise can’t call it and will ask you to run it from n8n instead.
  • Large execution data is summarized, not dumped, ask for specifics if you need a particular node’s output.
  • Every write pauses for your approval, including turning a workflow’s live triggers on or off.

​
Troubleshooting

The workflow needs to be active and start with a Webhook trigger node, check both in n8n, or ask Expertise to look up the workflow’s details first.
Reconnect from the Connections tile, the API key may have been revoked or regenerated in n8n.
