n8n

Trigger n8n workflows from SurveyTale responses via webhooks.

n8n

n8n is a workflow automation tool. SurveyTale connects to n8n using webhooks: SurveyTale sends each survey response to an n8n Webhook node, and your workflow takes it from there.

Prerequisites

  • A SurveyTale workspace with permission to manage integrations.
  • An n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted).

Set up the integration

  1. In n8n, create a new workflow and add a Webhook node. Set it to listen for POST requests and copy the generated webhook URL.
  2. In SurveyTale, open Workspace Settings -> Integrations -> Webhooks and click Add Webhook.
  3. Paste the n8n webhook URL as the destination.
  4. Choose the trigger (typically Response finished) and, optionally, the surveys to watch. Save.
  5. Back in n8n, add nodes after the Webhook node to route the data wherever you need (databases, Slack, email, your API, etc.).
  6. Activate the n8n workflow.

Payload shape

SurveyTale posts a JSON body to the n8n Webhook node. See Webhooks for the full payload shape.

Notes and troubleshooting

  • Make sure your n8n instance is reachable from the public internet so SurveyTale can deliver the webhook.
  • If the workflow does not run, confirm the n8n workflow is active and the Webhook node URL matches the one saved in SurveyTale.
