n8n-builder
Expert n8n workflow builder that creates, deploys, and manages n8n workflows programmatically via the n8n REST API. Use when asked to create n8n workflows, automate n8n tasks, build automations, design workflow pipelines, connect services via n8n, or manage existing n8n workflows. Handles webhook flows, scheduled tasks, AI agents, database syncs, conditional logic, error handling, and any n8n node configuration.
Why use this skill?
Use the n8n-builder skill to programmatically create, manage, and deploy n8n workflows. Streamline your automation pipeline with AI-driven configuration.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/kassimisai/n8n-builderWhat This Skill Does
The n8n-builder skill is a powerful automation architect for OpenClaw that enables you to programmatically create, deploy, and manage n8n workflows. By interacting directly with the n8n REST API, it allows you to define complex automation pipelines—including webhook-based triggers, scheduled tasks, AI agentic flows, and database synchronizations—all through clear, structured JSON. The skill functions as an extension of your own capability, helping you translate business logic into production-ready workflow files using defined schema standards, and managing the lifecycle of your automation through deployment, activation, and verification.
Installation
To integrate this skill, use the command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/kassimisai/n8n-builder. Ensure your environment is prepared by defining N8N_URL and N8N_API_KEY to grant the agent authenticated access to your specific n8n instance. Always verify your credential list via the CLI before deployment to ensure all required service connections are pre-configured.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for teams looking to automate cross-platform operations. Common use cases include:
- Designing lead-capture webhooks that route data to CRM systems.
- Implementing complex error-handling pipelines that alert teams via Slack or Email upon node failure.
- Creating automated AI agents that process document queues stored in SQL databases.
- Building custom integrations between niche SaaS platforms that lack native n8n support by utilizing custom HTTP request nodes.
Example Prompts
- "Create a new n8n workflow that watches a Webhook for incoming JSON data, performs a sentiment analysis using an AI node, and then saves the result to my PostgreSQL database."
- "Review the current workflow list and deactivate any workflows that aren't currently being used, then create a backup of the 'Customer Sync' workflow."
- "Refactor my current lead-processing workflow to include a 'continueOnFail' strategy for the API call to Salesforce to ensure we don't lose data during temporary outages."
Tips & Limitations
Always follow the 'v1' execution order and use unique, descriptive IDs for every node to avoid configuration conflicts. Remember that while the agent can generate JSON, complex logic usually requires verifying credential IDs via the API script before the deployment will succeed. Always test manually using the execute script function before enabling production triggers. Limitations include the dependency on valid JSON schema adherence; ensure your logic maps outputs correctly to subsequent node inputs to prevent runtime errors.
