WorkDrive Trigger (webhook node)

Starts a workflow when a Zoho WorkDrive event occurs. Supports four webhook categories:

• File — events on a specific file (view, rename, move, trash, restore, delete, download, copy, share, comments, external links)
• Folder — file and folder events inside a specific folder and its subfolders
• Team Folder — file, folder, and member events inside a specific team folder
• Team — team-wide membership and structure events (user added/removed/role updated, team folder created, team renamed)

WorkDrive webhooks require the Business plan. Webhooks are not available on Free or Standard plans.

Credentials

Zoho WorkDrive uses OAuth2. The credential supports all Zoho data centre regions:

| Region | Auth URL | |---|---| | US / Global | accounts.zoho.com | | Europe | accounts.zoho.eu | | India | accounts.zoho.in | | Australia | accounts.zoho.com.au | | Canada | accounts.zohocloud.ca | | Japan | accounts.zoho.jp |

Setting up OAuth2

1. Go to Zoho API Console and create a Server-based Application.
2. Add the n8n OAuth callback URL as the redirect URI.
3. Note the Client ID and Client Secret.
4. In n8n, create a Zoho WorkDrive OAuth2 API credential, select your region, and enter the Client ID and Secret.
5. Connect the credential — you will be redirected to Zoho to authorise access.

Setting up webhooks (WorkDrive Trigger)

Webhooks in WorkDrive must be registered manually in the Admin Console:

1. Go to WorkDrive Admin Console → Apps → Custom Apps → your app → Webhooks.
2. Create a new webhook, paste the Production URL from the n8n trigger node, select the category and events.
3. WorkDrive sends a GET request to validate the endpoint — the trigger node handles this automatically.
4. Once validated the webhook status changes to Active.

See the WorkDrive webhook documentation for full setup instructions.

Compatibility

Tested with n8n 1.60.0 and later.

Requires a Zoho WorkDrive account. Webhook triggers require the Business plan.
