N8N Automations

We've migrated away from Zapier, and now use a self-hosted version of N8N. This is less costly and far more powerful.

Not really understanding the testing and how to grab a record with new values like "Onboarding email"

sacred-rose•6/17/25, 12:26 AM

I would appreciate it if you help me with it

sacred-rose•6/17/25, 12:27 AM

1. I want to filter everyone who doesn't have ella as an onboarder because that means that they don't have a national chapter so onboarders should actually reach out to them.

sacred-rose•6/17/25, 12:27 AM

Right now they know they have to ignore it but if it didn't appear in the first place in the onboarding channel it would be better.

sacred-rose•6/17/25, 12:28 AM

2. Also: I think we want to let them know only when they verified their email if possible. (so people don't reach out to new joiners who don't even check their inbox (which i suppose is low actual interest))

sacred-rose•6/17/25, 12:29 AM

3. If we don't solve 2 and do 1, I worry the N8N automation could trigger sometimes before the email is assigned (the Airtable automation)

sacred-rose•6/17/25, 12:31 AM

4. I'm deleting some fields that we are showing in the message in the pipeline and are not useful

I just added LLM summaries + google search to the N8N new member flow.

sacred-rose•6/18/25, 6:24 PM

Can you help me with the point 1 I wrote?

hurt-tomatoOP•6/18/25, 6:57 PM

Yeah ive added that filter. You want to apply that to the onboaring pipeline messagse?

hurt-tomatoOP•6/18/25, 6:58 PM

I've done that, so now only ella@pauseai.info onboarder messages appear in pipeline

hurt-tomatoOP•6/18/25, 6:58 PM

lmk if you want some other configuration

Hhurt-tomato lmk if you want some other configuration

sacred-rose•6/18/25, 7:17 PM

Well, it would be better probably if we would only showed in the pipeline the people that verified their emails. There's an automation on Airtable that triggers then, I don't have idea if we can send a signal to N8N from there.

sacred-rose•6/18/25, 7:18 PM

Also it would be cool if we had an automation that would check periodically on the people that agreed to the volunteeer agreement and give them the Volunteer role.

hurt-tomatoOP•6/19/25, 8:09 AM

Hmm this seems feasible

hurt-tomatoOP•6/19/25, 8:20 AM

Ok added it

hurt-tomatoOP•6/19/25, 8:21 AM

Maybe we should also do the inverse, remove the role if someone isn't registered.

sacred-rose•6/19/25, 9:49 AM

Thanks a lot!

colossal-harlequin•6/20/25, 11:05 AM

As long as we don't act that way in any outage edge cases.

colossal-harlequin•6/20/25, 11:08 AM

How will credentials/accounts work on the N8N instance @Joep Meindertsma ?

Ccolossal-harlequin How will credentials/accounts work on the N8N instance @Joep Meindertsma ?

hurt-tomatoOP•6/20/25, 11:22 AM

shared uname + pw, i'll send you credential

sacred-rose•6/20/25, 6:05 PM

What about adding someone to a google group if they get added to a team on Airtable?

sacred-rose•6/23/25, 6:57 PM

@Joep Meindertsma the adding the volunteer role doesn't seem to be working. Examples: superwojtek3141, larissa_mf5439, jonas01794

sacred-rose•6/23/25, 6:57 PM

~~I've also seen you're not checking for people who haven't agreed to the agreement, which is possible if you put you're not gonna put any hours on volunteering~~ :done: this myself

sacred-rose•6/23/25, 6:59 PM

I've also checked if the reason was that people were joining after filling up the form but that doesn't seem to be the case (at least I think superwojtek joined beforehand)

sacred-rose•6/23/25, 6:59 PM

But I think that would be a common problem, we could check all table records or from the last 10 days, not just new ones

sacred-rose•6/25/25, 10:36 PM

@Joep Meindertsma I don't know how to debug the automations, not finding any info of what went wrong

sacred-rose•6/25/25, 10:39 PM

oh, im understanding now, i can manually change previous steps' outputs and so test subsequent steps

sacred-rose•6/25/25, 10:50 PM

oh, we need the user's ID, not username

sacred-rose•6/25/25, 11:02 PM

PauseBot is not on Github, no?

hurt-tomatoOP•6/30/25, 8:38 PM

Yes, PauseBot is on n8n not github

colossal-harlequin•7/5/25, 10:03 AM

So does the bot project in the repos run anywhere or do anything?

And where is the n8n implementation / behaviour descrived?

(I can read the config, but most can't. I just want to document better!)

awake-maroon•7/5/25, 12:56 PM

nope, it’s archived. n8n runs under https://n8n.pauseai.info/

colossal-harlequin•7/5/25, 1:01 PM

OK the GitHub repos is actually plenty clear on the deprecation, sorry for having missed the moment!

hurt-tomatoOP•7/29/25, 1:54 PM

I'll try to setup an N8N automation for donations, linking both PayPal and Wise payments to a single airtable

Hhurt-tomato I'll try to setup an N8N automation for donations, linking both PayPal and Wise ...

awake-maroon•7/29/25, 2:22 PM

wth is Wise?

awake-maroon•7/29/25, 2:22 PM

or rather how do we use it

hurt-tomatoOP•7/29/25, 2:23 PM

it's a bank, we use it to receive donations in addition to Paypal and Bunq

awake-maroon•7/29/25, 2:23 PM

so is it the main bank account rn?

hurt-tomatoOP•7/29/25, 2:24 PM

Not necessarily, but it's a bank account that we use. mostly for making international payments.

awake-maroon•7/29/25, 2:24 PM

alr, should we list it here? https://pauseai.info/donate

hurt-tomatoOP•7/29/25, 2:25 PM

Interesting how we even received some donations through wise... If it's not listed there

hurt-tomatoOP•7/29/25, 2:28 PM

Oh no I'm confused - it was sent through wise, but received on bunq. We only use wise for payments.

hurt-tomatoOP•7/29/25, 2:29 PM

But maybe we should switch to using wise over bunq, as I don't think i can integrate bunq over n8n, but i can with wise.

hurt-tomatoOP•7/29/25, 3:05 PM

I've made a repo for discussing n8n stuff https://github.com/PauseAI/n8n-automations

I disabled the automation for new mebmers. I've updated the repo to reflect this.

sacred-rose•10/20/25, 11:56 PM

@Joep Meindertsma can we add this? https://www.npmjs.com/package/@florianai/n8n-nodes-discord-trigger it would be cool to track Discord members on Airtable

Ssacred-rose @Joep Meindertsma can we add this? https://www.npmjs.com/package/@florianai/n8n-...

Seems like a good idea
