n8n Integration – Triggers
2 minutes to readIn n8n, Triggers let you start workflows automatically when data changes in your Caspio tables. You can trigger workflows when records are created, updated, or deleted.
When you configure a Trigger for Caspio, n8n automatically creates a webhook in your Caspio account to listen for the selected event type. When the event occurs, Caspio sends an outgoing webhook to n8n, starting the workflow instantly. On the list of outgoing webhooks in Caspio, the webhook name starts with n8n and the Created by column shows the name of the Web services profile used by the n8n credential.
Note: Configuring, testing, and executing Triggers consumes the integrations calls resource in your Caspio account.
Supported trigger events
- On record created – Trigger a workflow when a new record is added.
- On record updated – Trigger a workflow when an existing record is modified.
- On record deleted – Trigger a workflow when a record is removed.
Triggers are useful for keeping data synchronized across systems or performing follow-up actions automatically. For example, when a new record is added to a Caspio table, you can use n8n to create a record in another system.
Note: Avoid manually editing or deleting n8n-managed webhooks in Caspio to ensure your triggers continue functioning as expected.
