n8n community node integration for 4Geeks

Make sure you have the n8n cli installed: $ npm install -g @n8n/node-cli

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform. This is the installation guide for new community nodes documentation.

This is what you normally do next:

# Install dependencies
npm install  # or you can use yarn

# Compile the files to update the dev instance
npm run build

# Run the dev n8n instance
npm run dev

Adding new triggers

To add a new trigger, create a TypeScript file in nodes/BreathecodeTrigger/triggers/ that exports a BreathecodeEventDefinition object.

Each trigger must define an event name (the one we create in our API), label, description and if you want filters, add properties and a filter function that returns true when the webhook should be processed. Optionally, include a transform function to modify the payload before it's sent to the workflow. Finally, import and add your trigger to the array in triggers/index.ts.
