How to Connect n8n to AEvent

Connect n8n to AEvent to send registrant and event data into your n8n workflows.

How to connect n8n to AEvent

Connecting n8n to AEvent lets your campaign send registrant and event data straight into an n8n workflow. As registrants move through your event, AEvent triggers the workflow you choose, so you can route that data anywhere n8n can reach, your CRM, a database, Slack, or a custom API.

How to find your n8n API Key


You will need an API Key from your n8n account to connect n8n with AEvent. The API Key is created inside n8n and is separate from your login password.

To create your API Key:

  • Log in to your n8n account (n8n Cloud or your self-hosted instance).

  • Open Settings, then the n8n API page.

  • Create a new API Key and copy it, n8n shows the full key only once.


You will also need your Instance URL, the base web address of your n8n (for n8n Cloud it looks like https://your-name.app.n8n.cloud; for self-hosted it is your own domain).

Adding n8n to AEvent


To connect your n8n account to AEvent, navigate to Integrations inside AEvent, click Add Integration, then find and select n8n (shown as N8N) and click its Add Integration button.

Find n8n in the Add Integration list and click its Add Integration button


A Connect New Integration dialog opens, showing the Trigger Workflow action. Give the integration a name (or keep the default), then click Connect.

You will then be prompted to enter the two values required to connect your n8n account:

  • API Key

  • Instance URL

Paste your n8n API Key and enter your Instance URL (the base URL is fine, AEvent adds the API path for you) to finish connecting.


Once your n8n account has been successfully added, you will see its Connected state and can click Test to confirm.

Configuring the n8n Integration within a Campaign


Before you can use n8n inside a campaign, activate it there. Open the campaign you want to use, click Integrations, and set your n8n Integration to Active by toggling it on.

Creating n8n Timeline Actions

Trigger Workflow


What it does: Sends the registrant's details to an n8n workflow you choose, running that workflow at the point on your timeline where the action fires. AEvent sends the registrant's name, email, and phone, their unique join and replay links, and their custom fields, along with event details such as the webinar date and time.

When to use it: When you want event activity (like a registration) to kick off an n8n automation that routes the data into another tool.

To set up this action, within the Timeline Builder create an action and set the date, time, and audience. Select your n8n Integration, choose Trigger Workflow, then pick the Workflow you want to run from the dropdown, and click Create.


Before it will work: the workflow you pick must start with a Webhook node and be turned Active in n8n. AEvent finds the workflow's webhook automatically, you do not copy any URL by hand. An inactive workflow returns a 404 and no data is sent.

How to reconnect n8n

If your n8n connection stops working, the most common fix is to reconnect it. Navigate to Integrations in AEvent, locate your n8n integration, and click Re-Connect. Re-enter your API Key and Instance URL, then click Test to confirm. Once the test is successful, your n8n integration is reconnected and ready to use again.

How to remove n8n


To remove your n8n integration from AEvent, navigate to Integrations, locate your n8n integration, and click the trashcan icon, then confirm the removal.

Removing this integration immediately affects any campaigns it is active in. If you are troubleshooting but do not want to remove it entirely, reconnecting is usually the better option.

Troubleshooting

  • "Test" shows failed when connecting: The API Key or Instance URL is wrong. Make sure the key is an n8n API Key (Settings, then n8n API), not your password, and that the Instance URL is your correct, reachable n8n address.

  • Nothing arrives in n8n, or a 404 in your logs: The workflow is not Active in n8n. Open the workflow, turn it Active, and trigger a test registration.

  • The workflow dropdown is empty: Your n8n account has no saved workflows, or the connection did not succeed. Create and save a workflow, confirm the AEvent connection shows Connected, and reopen the action.

  • Actions stop after many in a short window: n8n can rate-limit a large burst of requests. Space your actions out and try again.
