Setup

  1. Download the JSON and import it into an isolated n8n instance. Leave the workflow inactive.
  2. Connect your own credentials through n8n’s credential store. Replace REPLACE_WITH_* values with your resource identifiers.
  3. Inspect API destinations, Code nodes, database queries, file paths, and outbound actions.
  4. Run with synthetic data and harmless destinations. Enable triggers only after checking the actual outputs.

Requirements

An n8n instance with the listed node types and compatible versions. Service-connected workflows may require accounts, credentials, or paid APIs.

Workflow notes

👨‍🎤 Setup

👨‍🎤 Setup

  1. Add Slack command and point it up to the webhook
  2. Add the following to the Set config node
  • alerts_channel with alerts channel to start threads on
  • instance_url with this instance url to make it easy to debug
  • slack_token with slack bot token to validate request
  • slack_secret_signature with slack secret signature to validate request
  • help_docs_url with help url to help users understand the commands
  1. Build other workflows to call and add them to commands in Set Config. Each command must be mapped to a workflow id with an Execute Workflow Trigger node
  2. Activate workflow 🚀

Build this in a second separate workflow

and add the id to commands in Set Config

Used Edit Fields node here as trigger because you can only have one Execute Workflow Trigger per workflow

Purpose and structure

This folder contains the Example subworkflow for command WITHOUT Slack thread.. workflow. Its executable nodes use code, executeWorkflow, executeWorkflowTrigger, httpRequest, if, merge, postgres, set, slack, switch, webhook. The table and connection map below are derived from the JSON, not an inferred guarantee of behavior.

Setup

Import inactive. Configure your own credentials and replace REPLACE_WITH_* values. Review external destinations and Code nodes before running.

Entry points

Webhook to call for Slack command, Command workflow trigger
