Overview
This node acts as a webhook trigger for Steuerboard events. It listens for various types of changes or creations within the Steuerboard platform, such as client updates, file comments, task changes, and workspace modifications. When an event matching the configured criteria occurs, the node emits the event data to downstream nodes in the workflow.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating workflows based on client record changes (e.g., sending notifications when a new client is created).
- Triggering actions when files or tasks are updated or deleted.
- Responding to comments added to files or tasks to integrate with communication tools.
- Monitoring workspace-level changes for administrative automation.
Practical example: A user configures the node to trigger on "File Comment Created" events. Whenever a comment is added to any file in Steuerboard, the node activates and passes the comment details to subsequent nodes, which could then notify a team via email or chat.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Event | The type of Steuerboard event to listen for. Options: Client Webhook, File Comment Created, File Webhook, Task Comment Created, Task Webhook, Workspace Webhook. |
| Client Actions | Filters client-related events by action type. Options: CREATED, UPDATED, ARCHIVED. Only applies if Event is "Client Webhook". |
| Workspace Actions | Filters workspace-related events by action type. Options: CREATED, UPDATED, ARCHIVED. Only applies if Event is "Workspace Webhook". |
| File Actions | Filters file-related events by action type. Options: CREATED, UPDATED, DELETED. Only applies if Event is "File Webhook". |
| Task Actions | Filters task-related events by action type. Options: CREATED, UPDATED, DELETED. Only applies if Event is "Task Webhook". |
| File Comment Actions | Filters file comment events by action type. Option: CREATED. Only applies if Event is "File Comment Created". |
| Task Comment Actions | Filters task comment events by action type. Option: CREATED. Only applies if Event is "Task Comment Created". |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the webhook payload received from Steuerboard. The structure of the output JSON corresponds directly to the event data sent by Steuerboard's webhook, including fields such as resource and action.
If the event does not match the selected resource or action filters, the node returns no workflow data (empty output).
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires Steuerboard to be configured to send webhooks to the URL provided by this node.
- No external API keys or credentials are handled by this node itself; it relies on receiving HTTP POST requests from Steuerboard.
- The node must be accessible via a public URL or tunnel for Steuerboard to deliver webhook events.
Troubleshooting
- No triggers firing: Ensure that Steuerboard is correctly configured to send webhooks to the node’s webhook URL. Verify the selected Event and Action filters match the actual events being sent.
- Filtered events: If the node receives events but does not emit them, check the action filters. If any action filters are set, only events with matching actions will trigger the workflow.
- HTTP 200 response but no data: This indicates the event was received but filtered out due to resource or action mismatch.
- Webhook URL not reachable: Confirm that the n8n instance is publicly accessible or use tunneling services during development.
