Installation
On a self-hosted n8n instance: Settings → Community nodes → Install, then enter
n8n-nodes-digital-organizingOr install it into the n8n user folder directly:
cd ~/.n8n
npm install n8n-nodes-digital-organizingDevelopment
Requires Node.js >= 20.15.
npm install
npm run dev # starts a local n8n with this package linked, hot reloads on change
npm run lint # n8n node linter + eslint
npm run build # compiles to dist/npm run dev boots an n8n instance at http://localhost:5678 with the nodes from
this repo already installed, so changes are visible after a save.

Cevapi/ programmatic: Route builds one output per optionNodes are written in n8n's declarative style: operations describe their HTTP
request via routing instead of implementing execute(). Reach for a programmatic
node only when routing genuinely cannot express the call.
Adding a node
mkdir -p nodes/MyTool/resources/customand copy theCuranode as a starting point.- Add
credentials/MyToolApi.credentials.ts. - Add
icons/mytool.svgandicons/mytool.dark.svg(24x24 viewBox; light usesfill="currentColor", dark usesfill="rgba(255,255,255,1)"). - Register both files in the
n8n.nodesandn8n.credentialsarrays inpackage.json— a node that is not listed there is silently not loaded. npm run lint && npm run build.
Adding a resource to an existing node
- Create
nodes/<Node>/resources/<resource>/index.tsexporting aINodeProperties[]— anOperationoptions property plus the parameters for each operation, each gated withdisplayOptions.show. - Spread it into
propertiesof the node description and add the resource to theResourceoptions list.
nodes/DoCounter/resources/counter/index.ts is the reference implementation.
Releasing
Publishing runs from GitHub Actions with npm provenance, which n8n requires for community nodes. Locally:
npm run releaseThis lints, builds, prompts for the version bump, writes the changelog, commits,
tags and pushes. The pushed tag triggers .github/workflows/publish.yml, which
publishes to npm.
One-time npm setup is documented at the top of .github/workflows/publish.yml
(OIDC trusted publishing is preferred over an NPM_TOKEN secret).
Open items
- Payrexx: the operations are built from the reference docs but not yet exercised against a live instance. The trigger cannot register itself — see below.
- Cura: the API is one inbound endpoint, so there is nothing to read back — a workflow cannot look a contact up, only submit one.
- RaiseNow: webhook signature verification is not implemented, and the operations are built from the spec but not yet exercised against a live account.
- LibraCore: only the campaign submission endpoint is modelled — that is all our
Django integration used. Tenants may name the contact fields differently; the
Custom FieldsJSON parameter covers the difference until we model more. - Do Counter: the standalone
n8n-nodes-do-counterpackage is superseded by this one and should be deprecated on npm once instances have migrated. - Funtrade: the operations are built from the OpenAPI spec, which is marked pre-release (0.9.0), and are not yet exercised against a live instance. The Events half of the API is not modelled, and there is no trigger node — see below.
- Gravity Forms: the operations are built from the REST API v2 reference and are
not yet exercised against a live site. Feeds and results — the add-on endpoints —
are not modelled, and file uploads need
multipart/form-data, which the Submission resource does not send.
Link Shortener notes
Built against the DRF API of link-shortener, which serves Swagger at
/api/v1/docs/, Redoc at /api/v1/redoc/ and an OpenAPI schema at
/api/v1/schema/ on your own instance.
The credential takes the root URL, without /api, and sends the admin-issued
key as Authorization: Api-Key <key>.
- A key carries its owner's groups. It only sees links filed under groups the owner belongs to, and can only create links on domains those groups may use. Naming a domain or group outside that set is a validation error, not a 403. Keys can be given an expiry, after which every request answers 401.
- Domain and group are referenced by name, not by ID —
example.comand the group's name. Use the Domain and Group resources to discover what a key may use. - Links are read-write, domains and groups are read-only over the API.
- Slug and domain together must be unique. A clash answers 400 with the message on the slug field. Leaving the slug empty generates a random one; slugs are lowercased before saving.
- Create scrapes the target by default. Fetch Metadata fills in any open graph field you did not set yourself, and only applies when Custom Tags is on. On update the flag is ignored — use Refresh Metadata instead, which re-scrapes and overwrites. It answers 502 when the target yields nothing.
og_imageandog_videofile uploads are not exposed. They are multipart fields on the Django side; setog_image_urlandog_video_urlinstead.- Lists are paginated with
limit/offsetand answer a DRF{"count": n, "results": [...]}envelope. The node unwrapsresults, and Return All follows the pages. - Identity → Who Am I answers with the username, superuser flag, groups and domains behind the key. The API documents it as its own smoke test, and the credential test uses it.
There is no trigger node: the app has no webhooks.
Flyertool notes
Built against the django-ninja API of flyertool-web, which serves interactive docs
at /api/docs and an OpenAPI schema at /api/openapi.json on your own instance.
The credential takes the root URL, without /api, because the node talks to two
routers: /api/flyertool for contacts and assignments, /api/egwr for addresses.
- A key carries a user's visibility. Keys are created in the Django admin under API-Schlüssel and belong to a user; a key of a non-superuser only ever sees contacts and assignments of campaigns that user owns. Anything outside them answers 404, so an empty result can mean the key is scoped too narrowly rather than that nothing matched. Untick Aktiv to revoke a key.
- Contacts have no create operation. They come from the public signup form. The API reads, updates and deletes them.
- Contacts are addressed by UUID, the identifier the webhook, the export and the success redirect already use. Assignments are addressed by their numeric ID.
- Updates are partial — only the fields you add to Update Fields are sent, and only those change. Form Fields and UTM Parameters are the exception: they replace the whole JSON object rather than merging into it.
- Resetting a delivery address means sending an explicit
null, which a collection field cannot express. Put{"delivery_address_id": null}in Additional Fields; the contact then falls back to its own address. - Addresses are EGIDs from the Swiss building register. Address → Search is how you find one for a contact update, and it can take a campaign ID to apply that campaign's address filters. Both address endpoints are public on the Flyertool side; the node sends the key anyway, which does no harm.
- Lists are paginated with
limit/offsetand answer{"items": [...], "count": n}. The node unwrapsitems, and Return All follows the pages. - Invalid payloads answer 422, and moving an assignment onto a cluster that is already taken answers 409.
The trigger node
A campaign notifies one URL when someone signs up — its Webhook URL field in the Flyertool admin. There is no API for setting that field, so the trigger registers nothing: paste its Production URL into the campaign.
Things to know:
- One event only, a completed signup, fired from both the standalone and the embedded form. Nothing fires on update or delete.
- The URL is the only protection. Flyertool sends no secret and no signature, so treat the webhook URL as a credential.
- Deliveries are fire and forget. Flyertool posts with a five second timeout and swallows failures without retrying, so a missed delivery is simply lost. The node therefore acknowledges every request, including ones its campaign filter rejects.
- The payload is flat and partial:
uuid,first_name,last_name,email,order,campaign(the name, not the slug or ID),address_id(EGID), the address parts,fieldsandutm. It carries no delivery address and no assignments — follow the trigger with Flyertool → Contact → Get on theuuidfor the full record. - The Campaigns filter matches the
campaignname. Usually you can leave it empty, since each campaign has its own webhook URL; it earns its keep only when you point several campaigns at the same workflow.
Payrexx notes
Built from https://developers.payrexx.com/reference, against API v1.16 — the version is part of the base URL and the credential lets you change it.
Authentication uses the X-API-KEY header, which Payrexx recommends over its older
ApiSignature HMAC scheme. Same secret, no signing. The instance name is a query
parameter on every call, so the credential attaches it rather than every operation
repeating it.
Two naming traps in the API itself, kept as-is so requests match the docs:
- A paylink is
/Invoice/. - An invoice is
/Bill/.
Other things worth knowing:
- Amounts are in cents everywhere.
- Intervals — subscription payment interval, period, cancellation interval — are
PHP
DateIntervalstrings:P1Mmonthly,P1Yyearly. - Get Many transactions: Payrexx documents its filters as a request body on a
GET. They are sent as query parameters, since a GET body is not reliably forwarded and the query string is what Payrexx's own SDK builds. - Invoice create has a large nested payload. The common fields are modelled;
discounts, cash discounts, reminders, bank information and attachments go through
the Additional Fields JSON parameter. The same applies to a paylink's contact
fieldslist.
The trigger node
Payrexx has no API for managing webhooks — no create, no list, no delete. So the trigger registers nothing: it exposes a URL and you paste it into the Payrexx admin under Settings → Integrations → Webhooks. That also means n8n cannot tell Payrexx which events to send, so the Transaction Statuses filter runs on this side, after delivery, and an unmatched delivery is acknowledged without starting the workflow.
Status values are free text rather than a dropdown: the reference documents the webhook payload only by example, so a hardcoded list would be a guess.
RaiseNow notes
Built against the OpenAPI spec behind https://docs.raisenow.com/api
(https://assets.raisenow.io/specs/api-public.json). Authentication is an OAuth2
client-credentials grant against /oauth2/token; the credential exchanges client ID
and secret for a JWT and n8n refreshes it when a request comes back unauthorised.
Things worth knowing before wiring up a workflow:
- Amounts are in minor units.
1000means 10.00. Payment amounts are strings, subscription amounts are integers — that is the API's own inconsistency, not ours. - Payment → Initialize is the entry point of a payment flow. For redirect-based methods leave Payment Information empty and follow the action returned in the response; fill it in only when passing an instrument directly.
- Subscriptions need a payment source, which you get from a payment run with Create Payment Source enabled.
- Recurring intervals use a three-field day-of-month / month / weekday syntax:
1 * *is monthly on the 1st,15 3,6,9,12 *is quarterly on the 15th. - Search covers payment agreements, the one index the public API exposes. The query object is passed through as-is in RaiseNow's own DSL.
- Get Many operations page with
from/size; Return All follows the pages.
The trigger node
RaiseNow delivers events in two steps, and the trigger manages both:
- a webhook endpoint (
/webhooks) — just the URL registration, which on its own receives nothing, and - one event subscription per event (
/event-subscriptions) pointing at that endpoint.
Activating the node looks for an endpoint already registered for this workflow's URL and reuses it, otherwise creates one, then creates any missing event subscriptions. Deactivating removes the subscriptions it created, and the endpoint too unless it was one it found rather than created.
Event names are free text (rnw.event.payment_gateway.payment.succeeded and friends)
rather than a dropdown — the list lives at https://docs.raisenow.com/events and
would go stale if it were hardcoded here.
The endpoint can carry an HMAC key so RaiseNow signs deliveries. The node stores the key on the endpoint but does not verify incoming signatures — the algorithm is not in the public spec. Treat the webhook URL as the secret until that is implemented.
Cura notes
Cura's interface is deliberately small: one inbound endpoint,
POST /api/latest/inbox/receiver/, which drops a JSON payload into the Cura inbox
("Postfach"). Cura then creates a contact from it, or extends an existing one it
matches — on membership number first, then on a person match. Authentication is a
static token issued by Cura support, sent as Authorization: token <ID>.
- Nothing is required. Every documented key is optional, so the node has no required fields on Contact → Send. Send what you have.
- Unknown keys are kept, not rejected. They show up in the inbox but do not affect processing unless Cura support has built a rule for them. That is what Additional Payload is for.
- Create Donation Letter sets
create_invoiceand needs a Campaign ID. It only works if the campaign has both "QR-Rechnung automatisch erstellen…" and "Angedrucktes Datum darf automatisch verändert werden" enabled in Cura. - Account → Who Am I is the identification echo Cura documents; the credential test uses the same endpoint, which is why the credential holds the organisation slug.
There is no read API — a workflow can submit to Cura but cannot query it. Cura also offers an outgoing interface, but its scope and endpoints are defined per organisation and would need to be built as a separate integration.
LibraCore notes
The LibraCore service platform authenticates through Auth0 with a client-credentials
grant: the credential exchanges client ID and secret for a bearer token scoped to an
audience, and n8n refreshes it automatically when a request comes back unauthorised.
This mirrors mv-mietzinsrechner/mv_api/services.py, which is where the integration
came from.
Base URL, audience and Auth0 domain are per customer and per environment. They take this shape — the real values for each tenant live in that project's credentials, not here:
| Setting | Value |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Base URL | https://services-api-staging.example.ch/api/v1/yourtenant |
| Audience | same as the base URL (leave the field empty to default to it) |
| Auth0 domain | example.eu.auth0.com |
The credential test hits Auth0 rather than the service API, because the platform has no read-only endpoint to probe without writing data — so a green test proves the client credentials and audience are right, not that the base URL is.
The Campaign → Create operation posts to {base URL}/campaign (the endpoint path
is editable) with the contact and consent fields the platform accepts:
email, first_name, last_name, anrede, zip_code, quelle, nl_abo,
einwilligung_timestamp, einwilligung_ip, einwilligung_url. Campaign-specific
keys — the mzr_* fields of the Mietzinsrechner, for instance — go into the
Custom Fields JSON parameter and are merged into the body as-is.
Funtrade notes
funtrade is the CRM, fundraising and accounting system by
Arenae Consulting, used by Swiss NGOs for membership and donor management. The
end-user handbook is at https://docs.funtrade.ch/<version>/; the REST API has its
own ReDoc page at app.funtrade.ch/api/, which is
where the operations here come from.
That page embeds its OpenAPI document in a __redoc_state assignment rather than
linking one, so there is no spec URL to fetch. The document is checked in at
openapi/funtrade.json instead — it is what nodes/Funtrade was built against, and
having it in the tree is what makes a field name or an enum verifiable without
re-reading a 1 MB page. Refresh it with:
node scripts/fetch-funtrade-spec.mjsand diff the result: a change there is the signal that an operation, a field or an
enum moved. The spec is marked pre-release (0.9.0) and the copy here was generated
by funtrade on 2026-01-05, so expect it to.
API keys are not self-service: they are requested from the assigned funtrade support
contact. The key goes in the apikey header (the API also accepts it as a query
parameter; the credential uses the header so it stays out of logs).
The node covers the CRM half of the API — a person and everything hanging off it:
| Resource | Operations | | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Person | Create, Delete, Get, Search, Update | | Address | Create, Delete, Get Many, Update | | Attribute | Create, Delete, Get Many, Update | | Interaction | Create, Delete, Get Many, Record Refusal, Record Response | | Pledge | Create, Delete, Exit, Get Many, Update | | Publication | Get Many, Update | | Task | Create, Get Many, Update |
The Events half (/api/v1.0/eventsapi/) is not modelled and is reachable through
Custom API Call.
Two things shape every write
Data quality checks. The API reuses the business logic behind the funtrade user
interface, so its data-validity checks apply here too: the ZIP has to exist, the
street has to exist at that ZIP, the house number in that street. A failing check
comes back as a 400 with a validationErrors list naming the field. Usually the
right answer is to correct the data; where it is not, each resource has a Data
Quality Overrides collection holding that endpoint's qc_ flags, which overrule a
single check for a single write.
Concurrent mutation check. Every update has to carry the version the record
had when it was read, and funtrade rejects the write if someone changed the record
in the meantime. So an update is always read-then-write: take Version from the
record the Get operation returned. The one exception is Publication → Update, whose
schema has no version field.
Other things worth knowing
- Nothing pages. Search and every Get Many answer with the full list. Return All is therefore on by default, and Limit trims the response after it arrives rather than asking the API for less.
- Codes come from the instance. Salutations, titles, languages, address types,
channels, attributes, task types and the rest are configured per instance, so
those fields are dropdowns filled from the reference endpoints under
/crmapi/rather than hardcoded lists. - Pledge is wide.
PersonPledgehas around seventy fields, most of them maintained by funtrade itself. The node models the ones a workflow sets when it books a pledge; the rest go through Additional Fields, including the credit card fields, which are deliberately left out of the typed UI. - Ending a pledge: Delete removes the record, Exit keeps it and records that
the person left. Exit is almost always the one you want. Its
actioncodes (ACTION_S,ACTION_L) are documented by the API without saying what each means — worth confirming with funtrade support before wiring into a live workflow. - Task field names differ between create and update —
emai_listvsemailList,time_unitvsunit,descriptionvstext. Those are the API's spellings; each operation sends the one its own endpoint expects.
No trigger node
funtrade webhooks are generic inbound receivers: you define one in funtrade, it
generates an endpoint under /webhooks/v1.0/data/..., and anything posted there is
queued for asynchronous processing. They deliver into funtrade rather than out of
it, and there is no API to register one — so there is nothing for a trigger node to
subscribe to, the way the Payrexx and RaiseNow triggers do.
Gravity Forms notes
Built against REST API v2, which is part
of Gravity Forms core since 2.4 and has to be switched on under Forms → Settings →
REST API. There is no official n8n node and the one community package
(@jezweb/n8n-nodes-gravity-forms) has a deleted repository, so this is our own.
The credential takes the site URL, without /wp-json, and authenticates with HTTP
Basic. The two halves of a Gravity Forms key pair (ck_… / cs_…) go into Consumer
Key and Consumer Secret — or put a WordPress username there and an application
password from that user's profile page. Basic Auth only works over https.
- Capabilities decide what a key may do, because a request runs as the WordPress
user behind it. Reading forms needs
gravityforms_edit_forms, reading entriesgravityforms_view_entries, writing themgravityforms_edit_entries— a key that may read entries but not forms answers 401 on Form → Get Many. - Entries are flat, entry properties and submitted values in one object. Values are
keyed by field ID:
"3"for a simple field,"1.3"and"1.6"for the first and last name of a name field. Switch Include Labels on to get a_labelsmap back, or read the field IDs off Form → Get. - Entry → Create writes straight to the database: no validation, no notifications,
no add-on feeds, no confirmation. Submission → Submit runs the values through the
form the way a visitor would, and that is usually the one you want. Its values are
keyed by input name —
input_1,input_4_3— not by field ID. - A failed validation is a 200. Submission answers
is_valid: falsewithvalidation_messagesrather than an HTTP error, so branch on that field instead of expecting the node to fail. Submission → Validate runs the checks alone, without storing an entry. - Entry → Update replaces the whole entry. Values you leave out are blanked out, so send the entry as Get returned it, changed. The same holds for Form → Update.
- Delete trashes by default. Permanently Delete sets
force=1; without it a second delete of an already trashed entry answers 410. - Searching is one
searchparameter, a JSON object the node assembles from the Filters collection. Field Filters take a field ID or an entry property as the key —date_created,payment_status— and Form → Get Field Filters lists what a given form accepts. Start Date and End Date bounddate_created; they are not in the REST reference but are part of the search criteria the endpoint passes down. - Lists page with
paging[page_size]andpaging[offset]and answer{"total_count": n, "entries": [...]}. The node unwrapsentries, and Return All follows the pages. GET /formsanswers with an object keyed by form ID, not a list, and without Form IDs it carries only ID, title and entry count. The node splits that object into one item per form; name the forms under Form IDs to get their full definition.- File uploads are not modelled. They need
multipart/form-dataon the submissions endpoint; use an HTTP Request node for those.
The trigger node
Gravity Forms core has no webhooks — the Webhooks add-on is an Elite licence feature, and even there the URL is registered per form in the WordPress admin rather than over the API. So the trigger polls: every tick asks for the newest entries, sorted descending, and emits the ones it has not seen.
- It compares against the timestamp of the newest entry of the previous tick, read from the API itself rather than from the n8n clock, so a WordPress server whose time is off does not cost entries.
- The first tick after activation only sets that mark. Entries that already existed are not replayed.
- Entry Created or Updated watches
date_updatedinstead, and fires again every time an entry is edited. - One tick drains at most 1000 entries, ten pages of 100. A larger backlog is picked up by the ticks after it.
- If the site does run the Webhooks add-on, point it at a plain Webhook node instead — that delivers on submission rather than on the next tick.
cevAPI notes
cevAPI is our own decision service (https://github.com/digital-organizing/cevapi): it answers typed questions about a piece of content — yes/no, one of N, a level — and returns a calibrated probability with every answer. It writes no text, so a decision takes a few hundred milliseconds instead of an LLM call, and the answer is always one of the values you defined.
The credential holds the instance's base URL and the token from its CEVAPI_TOKEN.
An instance started without that variable takes any request, so the key may stay empty.
Ask vs Route
Ask answers one or more questions and writes them into the item, under cevapi
by default:
{"cevapi": {"route": {"type": "choice", "value": "billing", "confidence": 0.89, "margin": 0.82},
"urgent": {"type": "bool", "value": true, "confidence": 0.6}}}Route is the same call plus the branching: the node gets one output per option, so it replaces an Ask followed by a Switch. Options can be defined in the node (label plus an English criterion each) or taken from a profile on the server, in which case the labels are listed here to fix their order. Two optional outputs:
- Fallback — no option reached Min Score. On without doing anything.
- Unsure — the answer came back below Min Confidence, or the gap to the runner-up was below Min Margin. Off by default; switch it on to send doubtful items to a human or an LLM instead of down a wrong branch.
Because outputs is computed from the parameters, this node is programmatic rather
than declarative, and the function that builds the outputs (resources/route.ts) is
serialised into an expression — it must stay self-contained: no imports, no module
constants, plain 'main' instead of the enum.
Writing criteria
A criterion is an English sentence that is true when the option applies ("The sender
writes about an invoice, a payment or a refund."). The content itself can be in any
language — German and French work well. Scores are independent probabilities per
criterion, so they do not add up to 1 across the options; margin is the better
signal for "was this ambiguous?".
