N8N Node Documentation

The N8N node in Lamatic enables bidirectional integration between Lamatic and N8N platforms. This node supports both triggering N8N flow from Lamatic and executing Lamatic flows from N8N, providing flexible automation capabilities.

Features

✅ Key Functionalities

• Bidirectional Integration: Supports both N8N to Lamatic and Lamatic to N8N flow.
• Easy Configuration: Simple dropdown-based workflow selection.
• Webhook Support: Built-in webhook handling for seamless communication.

✅ Benefits

• Combines N8N's workflow automation with Lamatic's Gen AI capabilities.
• Maintains existing N8N flow while adding AI functionality.
• Enables highly configurable cross-platform automation.
