Installation

Self-Hosted n8n

1. Install the package in your n8n instance:

   npm install n8n-nodes-onlyoffice
   

2. Restart your n8n instance to load the new node.

n8n Cloud

⚠️ Important: This community node is currently not verified for n8n Cloud. n8n Cloud only supports verified community nodes for security and stability reasons.

Options for n8n Cloud users:

1. Request Verification: Contact n8n support to request verification of this node for cloud use
2. Self-Host: Consider using a self-hosted n8n instance which supports all community nodes
3. Alternative: Use built-in HTTP Request nodes to interact with the OnlyOffice API directly

Why the limitation? n8n Cloud maintains a curated list of verified community nodes to ensure security, performance, and reliability for all cloud users. While this node works perfectly in self-hosted environments, it requires verification before being available in n8n Cloud.

Getting Your API Token

1. Log into your OnlyOffice instance
2. Go to Settings → Integration → API
3. Generate a new API token
