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
  1. Move third-party API actions into n8n workflows and keep OpenClaw as orchestrator.
  2. Pass minimal context in webhook payload and store run IDs for traceability.
  3. Implement retry/error branches in n8n, returning normalized status to OpenClaw.
  4. Audit workflow runs weekly and rotate credentials periodically.
Commands
openclaw gateway status
npm run build
Verify

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).
