Setting up n8n: Connect and add workflows

Working in Projects

Updated Dec 16, 2025

How to set up the n8n integration in Juma and connect workflows to your Projects for automated tasks

You can connect n8n to Juma and run automated workflows directly from your chats. This lets you automate tasks like summarizing Slack messages, pulling data from tools, or triggering multi-step processes without leaving Juma.

How to connect n8n to a Project

n8n integration happens at the Project level. To get started:

Create a new Project (or open an existing one)
Click on Knowledge in the sidebar
Scroll down to Automations
Expand the n8n section
Click Connect

You'll need to provide two things:

Base URL: The URL of your n8n instance

API key: Your n8n API key

How to generate an n8n API key

To create an API key in n8n:

Go to your n8n settings
Navigate to API
Click Create an API key
Give it a name (for example, "Juma")
Set it to No expiration so you don't need to reset it every time it expires
Click Copy

Now paste your n8n instance URL and API key into Juma and click Save.

If you've successfully connected, the button will change to Add.

Adding workflows to your Project

Once you're connected, click Add to see all your n8n workflows. You can select any workflow to attach it to this Project.

When you attach a workflow, it becomes available to use in any chat inside that Project.

Using n8n workflows in chats

Once you've added a workflow to your Project, you can trigger it directly from a chat. The AI understands when it needs to call the workflow, executes it, sends the necessary parameters, and returns the output back to the chat.

For example, if you've connected a workflow that summarizes Slack messages, you might say: "Can you summarize the QA channel, the last 10 messages?"

Behind the scenes, the AI will call the workflow, pass the parameters (the channel name and number of messages), and return the summary in the chat.
