Automate workflows with n8n

Databases
Workflow automation tool
Overview

The n8n integration connects Jet Admin to your n8n instance, so you can trigger workflows and automations directly from a Jet Admin action, button, or approval step. It's a way to extend what Jet Admin can do by handing off multi-step processes to n8n instead of building them into the app itself.

Data passed to and from n8n can be joined to records in your own database, so the results of an automation land back on the right record. Every trigger is scoped by role and recorded in the audit log, keeping automated actions just as accountable as manual ones.

What you can do
Trigger a workflow
Start an n8n workflow from a Jet Admin action or button.
Send data to n8n
Pass record data from Jet Admin into an n8n workflow via webhook.
Receive workflow results
Pull the output of an n8n workflow back into a Jet Admin view.
Use Cases
Scenario
What it looks like

Key benefits

  • Extend Jet Admin's automation. Hand off complex, multi-step processes to n8n instead of building them from scratch.
  • Two-way data flow. Send record data into a workflow and bring the results back to the same record.
  • Role-based triggers. Control who can kick off an automation from Jet Admin.
  • Full audit trail. Every workflow trigger is logged alongside your other data changes.
