n8n Integration Guide
Deploy your GU-APE designs directly to n8n or export for manual setup.
Setting Up n8n Connection
Get Your n8n API Key
Log into your n8n instance and navigate to Settings > API. Create a new API key with the appropriate permissions for workflow creation.
Configure Credentials in GU-APE
Open GU-APE and go to Profile > n8n Connection. Enter your instance URL (e.g., https://n8n.example.com) and paste your API key.
Test the Connection
Click 'Test Connection' to verify GU-APE can communicate with your n8n instance. You should see a success message.
Export Options
Direct Deploy
Push your design directly to n8n with one click. Requires API key configuration.
JSON Export
Download your design as standard n8n workflow JSON for manual import.
Manual n8n Import
- Export your workflow as JSON from GU-APE
- Open your n8n instance in a browser
- Click 'Workflows' then 'Import from JSON'
- Paste your workflow JSON or upload the file
- Save and activate the workflow
Troubleshooting
Problem: Connection refused
Solution: Verify your n8n instance URL is correct and includes https://. Ensure your n8n instance is running and accessible.
Problem: Authentication failed
Solution: Check that your API key is correct and hasn't expired. Regenerate the key if necessary and update your GU-APE credentials.
Problem: Workflow not activating
Solution: Some nodes require credentials to be set up in n8n. Import the JSON manually and configure credentials there.
Problem: Node not supported
Solution: GU-APE supports standard n8n nodes. Custom or community nodes may not be available. Check the node reference for supported types.
