n8n Workflow Orchestration:用可视化工作流托管外部 API 调用
通过 webhook 把第三方集成从代理侧解耦,降低凭据暴露风险并增强流程可审计性。
GITHUBDiscovered 2026-02-11Author hesamsheikh
Prerequisites
- n8n instance is deployed with secure credential storage.
- Webhook contract (payload schema + auth) is agreed between OpenClaw and n8n.
Steps
- Move third-party API actions into n8n workflows and keep OpenClaw as orchestrator.
- Pass minimal context in webhook payload and store run IDs for traceability.
- Implement retry/error branches in n8n, returning normalized status to OpenClaw.
- Audit workflow runs weekly and rotate credentials periodically.
Commands
openclaw gateway statusnpm run buildVerify
Webhook-triggered workflow completes and OpenClaw receives deterministic success/failure payloads.
Caveats
- Do not leak secrets in webhook URLs or logs.
- n8n node behavior/version compatibility should be pinned per environment(需验证).
