Connecting Synap to n8n
Automate your life by connecting your Data Pod to thousands of external apps.1. The Concept
Synap acts as the brain, and n8n acts as the nervous system. You can trigger n8n workflows whenever an Event occurs in Synap (e.g., `note.created`, `task.completed`), or you can use n8n to send datainto Synap via the API.
Example Workflow
When I create a task in Synap with tag `#email`, send an email via Gmail.
2. Setting up the Webhook
In n8n, add a Webhook node. Set it to `POST`. Copy the URL (e.g., `https://n8n.yourdoman.com/webhook/...`).
POST https://n8n.yourdomain.com/webhook/synap-events
3. Configuring Synap
Go to your Data Pod settings (or use the CLI) to register the webhook.
// config/events.json
{
"webhooks": [
{
"url": "https://n8n.yourdomain.com/webhook/synap-events",
"events": ["task.created", "note.updated"]
}
]
}
4. Handling the Data
In n8n, your webhook will receive the full Event payload. You can then use nodes like Gmail, Slack, or Google Sheetsto process it.
