n8n Workflow Automation
Trigger, manage, and monitor n8n workflows through conversation. Chat-driven control over your automation stack.
What This Skill Does
The n8n skill connects your BetterClaw agent to your n8n instance, turning conversation into automation. List workflows, activate or deactivate them, trigger manual executions, check execution status, pass data between steps, and orchestrate multi-tool processes. The value scales with how much you have already built in n8n. For someone with 50 workflows, this skill is transformative. For someone starting from scratch, it pairs well with n8n's own visual builder. The skill communicates with n8n's REST API and requires your n8n instance URL and API key.
Example workflow
Your ops agent monitors a Slack channel for expense approval requests, triggers an n8n workflow that validates the amount against budget, routes to the right approver, and posts the result back to the original Slack thread.
