n8n
Connect Directus with n8n to automate workflows and build integrations using the community node. Perform CRUD operations on your Directus data, set up event-driven automation with triggers, and leverage advanced filtering and query capabilities.
Overview
The Directus n8n integration provides two main components for workflow automation:
Directus Node enables you to perform actions on your Directus data including creating, reading, updating, and deleting items across collections, managing users and invitations, and handling file uploads and imports. It supports both simple form-based operations and advanced raw JSON operations with full access to Directus's native filter syntax, logical operators (_and, _or), relational queries, aggregation, and query parameters.
Directus Trigger Node automatically starts workflows when events occur in your Directus instance. Set up triggers for item creation, updates, and deletion across any collection, user management events, and file uploads. Triggers use webhooks that are automatically created and managed in your Directus instance, enabling real-time automation and event-driven workflows.
