Actions
What your agents can do in n8n
Start an n8n Cloud workflow by sending it data, through the production URL of its Webhook trigger. For self-hosted n8n, use the HTTP step with your own URL.
Read 0
Look things up. Nothing changes.
This tool has no read actions.
Write 1
Create, change or send.
Send data to a workflow
Sends one JSON object to the n8n workflow behind this webhook, which runs the workflow with the object as the Webhook node's body.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Paste a webhook address you create in n8n. The address is the credential, and calls go only to n8n's own servers.
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Let an agent update n8n
Have the agent send data to a workflow in n8n as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 02
Share what it finds in Slack
Give one agent n8n and Slack: it can send data to a workflow in n8n and post a summary to a Slack channel in the same run.
- 03
Run it as a workflow step
Add "Send data to a workflow" to a workflow, and it runs in n8n the same way every time, with or without an agent.
