How to connect Lumiform to n8n

Connect Lumiform to n8n using Webhooks for flexible, code-free automation between Lumiform and the rest of your tech stack.

What you need

  • Plan requirement: This feature is available on Enterprise plans.
  • Permissions: Admin permissions in Lumiform to access webhook settings.
  • Third-party accounts: Access to an n8n instance (hosted or self-hosted); make sure you have access to the n8n editor.
 
 

Step-by-step setup

  1. Sign in to your n8n instance

    • Go to your n8n dashboard (cloud or self-hosted) and log in.

  2. Create a new workflow

    • Click the “+” button or “Create Workflow” to start a new automation.

  3. Add a Webhook trigger node

    • In the workflow editor, add a node and search for “Webhook.”
    • Drag the “Webhook” node onto your canvas.
    • Set the HTTP Method to “POST.”
    • Copy the “Test” webhook URL generated by n8n.

     

  4. Register the Webhook URL in Lumiform

    • Log in to Lumiform as an Admin.
    • Go to Administration > Webhooks.
    • Click “Add Webhook” and paste the copied n8n Webhook URL.
    • Choose which events should trigger the workflow (e.g., Inspection completed, Action resolved, Form approved).
    • Save your changes.

     

  5. Test your workflow

    • In the n8n editor, click “Execute Workflow” to listen for incoming data.
    • In Lumiform, trigger one of the selected events (e.g., complete an inspection).
    • You should see n8n receive the webhook notification, confirming the setup is working.

  6. Build out your workflow

    • Add additional nodes to process, transform, or route the incoming data from Lumiform.
    • If you need more than just the event ID, use an HTTP Request node to fetch data from the Lumiform Public API using the record ID provided.
    • When ready, activate your workflow in n8n for continuous automation.

Example use cases

  • Push tasks into project management: When an action is resolved in Lumiform, create or update a task in Asana or Jira through n8n.
  • Custom notifications: Send a customized Slack message for every approved form.
  • Integrate with in-house tools: Trigger in-house dashboards or scripts based on Lumiform events received via webhook.

Troubleshooting: common errors and fixes

  • n8n doesn’t receive the Webhook: Double-check that you copied the correct n8n webhook URL into Lumiform. Ensure the n8n workflow is actively listening when testing.
  • Data is missing: Remember, Lumiform sends only an event type and record ID. Use the Lumiform Public API with the record ID for the event's full details.
  • Event triggers aren’t working as expected: Make sure only the relevant events are selected in the Lumiform webhook settings.
