Overview

This node acts as a trigger for Moleculer microservices, allowing workflows to start based on Moleculer actions or events. It is useful for integrating Moleculer-based services with n8n automation, enabling workflows to respond to specific service actions or emitted events. For example, it can trigger a workflow when a particular event occurs in a Moleculer service or when an action is called.

Use Case Examples

1. Trigger a workflow when a user registration event is emitted by a Moleculer service.
2. Start a workflow when a specific Moleculer action completes, such as processing an order.

Output

JSON

• eventData - Data payload received from the Moleculer event or action trigger

Dependencies

• Requires a Moleculer API credential for authentication to connect to the Moleculer services.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Moleculer API credential is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions.
• Verify that the specified event or action names match those defined in the Moleculer services.
• Check network connectivity to the Moleculer broker or service endpoints.
