n8n Integration Basics

Set-up an integration between n8n and Fellow

Updated over 2 months ago

The Fellow n8n integration allows you to connect Fellow to thousands of other apps using n8n workflows. This enables you to automate tasks based on meeting activity, such as syncing action items to your project management tool or sending meeting notes to a communication channel.

Note: The Fellow n8n node uses the Fellow API, which is available on Team, Solo, Business, and Enterprise plans.

Initial Setup: Connecting Fellow to n8n

To start building workflows, you first need to generate an API key in Fellow and add it to your n8n credentials.

Step 1: Generate your Fellow API Key

  1. In Fellow, go to User Settings.

  2. Click on API, MCP & Webhooks

  3. Click Create new API key.

  4. Name your key (e.g., "n8n Integration") and copy it immediately. You won't be able to see it again.

Step 2: Configure Credentials in n8n

  1. In your n8n instance, go to Credentials > Create credential.

  2. Search for Fellow API.

  3. Paste your API key into the API Key field.

  4. Paste your subdomain into the Subdomain field.

  5. Click Save.

Triggers and Actions

The Fellow node supports the following events and operations to help you automate your meeting workflows.

Triggers

These events start a workflow when something happens in Fellow:

  • On ai note generated: Triggers when a meeting summary and transcript are ready.

  • On ai note shared to channel: Triggers when a user manually shares a note to a Fellow channel.

  • On action item assigned to me: Triggers when you are assigned a new action item.

  • On action item completed: Triggers when one of your assigned action items is marked as done.

Actions

These operations allow n8n to retrieve or update data in Fellow:

  • Action Items:

    • Get an action item: Retrieve details for a specific task.

    • Get many action items: Retrieve a list of tasks (e.g., all incomplete items).

    • Complete an action item: Mark a specific task as completed.

  • Notes:

    • Get an AI note: Retrieve the summary and content of a specific note.

    • Get many AI notes: Retrieve a list of notes within a date range.

Building Your First Workflow

Here is a simple example of how to send new AI meeting summaries to Slack.

  1. Add the Fellow Node (Trigger):

    • Select the On ai note generated trigger.

    • In the Credential to connect with section, select the previously created credential.

    • This ensures the workflow runs automatically whenever a meeting summary is created.

  2. Add a Destination Node (Action):

    • Add a Slack node (or Email, Microsoft Teams, etc.).

    • Map the summary field from the Fellow node to the message text in Slack.

  3. Test and Activate:

    • Execute the node to test the connection.

    • Activate the workflow to start receiving summaries automatically.
