Automations with n8n

Where: Menu → Manage → Integrations → Machine access

With the i3 Academy nodes for n8n, workflows start on the academy’s events (a course completed, a training overdue, a certificate issued) and can create people, enrol them in courses and keep teams.

How to

1. Under Machine access, create a machine client with only the permissions the workflow needs, and copy its secret.
2. In n8n, install the i3 Academy nodes and create an “i3 Academy API” credential with the API address, client ID and secret.
3. Add the i3 Academy Trigger with the events you want, or the i3 Academy node for an action. Activating the workflow subscribes it; deactivating it removes the subscription.

Tip

• The academy delivers only over HTTPS to a public address, so n8n must be reachable from the internet.
• People created this way are learners; roles are given here. Fields your HR system leads are refused when they differ.
• Teams synced from a directory and teams that grant a role can only be changed here.
