n8n Community Node

Trigger n8n workflows from DialogBrain events and send messages back.

Install

note

The node is not on the npm registry yet, so Settings → Community Nodes → Search will not find it. Install from source until the package is published; this page changes the moment it is.

git clone https://github.com/saloprj/dialogbrain.git
cd dialogbrain/packages/n8n-nodes-dialogbrain
npm install && npm run build
npm link

# in your n8n installation
cd ~/.n8n/custom            # create it if it does not exist
npm link n8n-nodes-dialogbrain

Restart n8n; the DialogBrain nodes appear in the node panel.
