n8n Integration Basics

Set up an integration between n8n and Fellow

Written by Dev Team
Updated today

Fellow's integration with n8n allows you to connect Fellow with thousands of apps to automate your workflows. Whether you want to sync AI meeting notes to your knowledge base, route action items to your project management tool, or send notifications when meetings wrap up, n8n makes it possible.

Fellow's n8n node is available on the n8n community nodes registry for manual installation or directly on n8n Cloud and can be added directly from the canvas. Just search for it and drag it into your workflow, so you can install it directly from within n8n.

Prerequisites

Before you can connect Fellow to n8n, you'll need:

  • An active n8n account (cloud or self-hosted)

  • A Fellow account on the Solo, Team, Business, or Enterprise plan

  • Access to generate a Developer API key in Fellow

Installing the Fellow Node

The Fellow node is a community node that you can install directly from n8n.

  1. In your n8n instance, go to Settings > Community Nodes

  2. Click Install a community node

  3. Enter @fellow/n8n-nodes-fellow and click Install

  4. The Fellow node and Fellow Trigger node will now be available in your workflow editor

Alternatively, you can search for it in n8n as it is publicly available.

Connecting Fellow to n8n

To connect your Fellow account to n8n, you'll need to generate a Developer API key in Fellow and use it to authenticate in n8n.

Step 1: Generate a Developer API Key in Fellow

  1. Log in to Fellow and navigate to User Settings > API, MCP & Webhooks

  2. Click + New API Key

  3. Give your API key a descriptive name (for example, "n8n Integration")

  4. Copy the API key that appears. Important: This key will only be shown once, so make sure to save it securely

Step 2: Connect Fellow in n8n

  1. In your n8n workflow, add a Fellow or Fellow Trigger node

  2. In the node settings, click Create New Credential under the Credential for Fellow API dropdown

  3. Enter your Fellow subdomain (for example, if your workspace URL is mycompany.fellow.app, enter mycompany)

  4. Paste the Developer API key you generated in Step 1

  5. Click Save to establish the connection

Your Fellow account is now connected to n8n and ready to use in your workflows.

Building Your First Workflow

n8n uses "workflows" to automate tasks between apps. A workflow consists of nodes that define triggers (when something happens) and actions (what to do about it). Here's how to create your first Fellow workflow in n8n.

1. Configure the Trigger

Triggers determine when your workflow runs. Fellow supports webhook-based triggers that fire in real time.

  1. Log in to your n8n instance and click Add workflow

  2. Click the + button to add your first node, then search for Fellow Trigger and select it

  3. Select your Fellow connection from the Credential for Fellow API dropdown (or create a new one — see above)

  4. Choose a trigger event from the Event dropdown:

  • AI Note Generated — Triggers when an AI note is generated after a meeting

  • AI Note Shared to Channel — Triggers when an AI note is shared to a Fellow channel you have access to

  • Action Item Completed — Triggers when an action item is marked as complete

  • Action Item Assigned To Me — Triggers when an action item is assigned to you

5. Click Listen for Test Event to start listening, then perform the trigger action in Fellow to capture a sample event

2. Configure the Action

Actions define what happens when your trigger conditions are met:

  1. Click the + button after your trigger node to add an action

  2. Search for the app you want to send data to (for example, Slack, Notion, Google Sheets, etc.)

  3. Select the action you want to perform (for example, Send a message, Create a page, Append a row, etc.)

  4. Configure the action by mapping data from your Fellow trigger to the action fields. You can drag expressions from the Fellow Trigger output into any field

  5. Click Save to save your action configuration

3. Test and Activate

Before activating your workflow, it's important to test that everything works correctly:

  1. Click Test workflow at the bottom of the workflow editor to run a test

  2. Perform the trigger action in Fellow (for example, complete an action item if you're using the "Action Item Completed" trigger)

  3. Return to n8n and review the execution results. You should see data flowing from Fellow to your action node

  4. If the test is successful, toggle the workflow to Active in the top-right corner. It will now run automatically whenever the trigger conditions are met

  5. Give your workflow a descriptive name by clicking the workflow name at the top and entering a new name

Available Actions

In addition to triggers, the Fellow node supports actions that let you retrieve and manage data in Fellow from within your workflows.

Action Items

Action

Description

Get

Retrieve a specific action item by its ID

Get Many

List action items with optional filters (scope, completed status, archived, AI-detected)

Complete

Mark a specific action item as complete

AI Notes

Action

Description

Get

Retrieve a specific AI note by its ID

Get Many

List AI notes with optional filters (title, date range, channel, attendees)

These actions are useful when you want to pull Fellow data into other apps, for example, fetching all incomplete action items and creating tasks in your project management tool on a schedule.

Common Use Cases

Here are some popular ways teams use Fellow with n8n:

  • Sync AI notes to Notion: Automatically create or update Notion pages when AI meeting notes are generated in Fellow

  • Create tasks in project management tools: Convert Fellow action items into tasks in Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, Linear, or other project management apps

  • Post meeting summaries to Slack: Send a formatted message to Slack channels when AI notes are generated

  • Log meetings in Google Sheets: Track all your meetings in a spreadsheet for reporting and analysis

  • Update CRM records: Sync AI notes and action items to your CRM when meeting with customers or prospects

  • Multi-step automations: Combine Fellow triggers with multiple actions — for example, when an AI note is generated, create a Notion page, and post a summary to Slack and create follow-up tasks in Linear

Troubleshooting

If you're experiencing issues with your n8n integration:

  • Verify that your Fellow account is on a Solo, Team, Business, or Enterprise plan

  • Check that your n8n workflow is set to Active (toggle in the top-right corner)

  • Ensure your Developer API key is still valid. If you've regenerated or revoked the key in Fellow, you'll need to update the credential in n8n with the new key

  • Review the execution history in n8n to see detailed error messages, click on the workflow and navigate to the Executions tab

  • Make sure you have appropriate permissions in Fellow for the workspace you're trying to access

  • If you receive authentication errors, try regenerating your API key in Fellow and updating the credentials in n8n

  • For self-hosted n8n instances, ensure your instance can reach the Fellow API and that the @fellow/n8n-nodes-fellow community node is properly installed
