App Connector · Automation
n8n
Trigger, edit, and debug your workflows in chat.
Create, update, and run the workflows in your n8n account.
What you can do
A connector lets the assistant use an app or tool for you. Once connected, ask it to work with n8n.
Workflows
Read and update the workflows on your instance.
Executions
Start workflow runs when you ask.
Node documentation
Look up how any n8n node is configured.
Things you can ask
Type these in chat once the connector is on.
What you need
Use n8n cloud or an installation on your own servers. Copy its address and an account connection key into Plexon.
Setup details
Enter your instance URL and an API key from your n8n settings. Cloud and self-hosted both work.
Plexon encrypts saved passwords and connection keys on your computer.
When a task uses an online app, that app receives the request. Its results may also be sent to the AI service handling your chat. You can turn the connector on for one workspace and leave it off for another.
Once n8n is on
A connected app is a source. These are the parts of Plexon that draw on it.
- AI Chat & Modes
Turn one on with your own account and the assistant works inside that app.
- Dynamic Workflows
An inbound message or a poll on a connected app starts a run.
A Tool step calls a connector directly, spending zero AI tokens.
- Dashboards
A widget's data can come from a connector tool call, refreshed on a timer.
- Action Record & Tool Rules
A call to a connected app is written down before it runs and again when it ends, with the app named on the row.
More in Automation
Connectors stack: turn on several and the assistant moves work between them.
