Automate Beta Tester Verification and Onboarding
This n8n workflow streamlines the process of verifying beta testers and onboarding them using Trello and Gmail. It listens for a webhook event, performs a check, and then either creates a Trello card or sends an email based on the outcome.
What it does
- Receives Webhook: The workflow is triggered by an incoming webhook, likely containing information about a new beta tester application or event.
- Performs Check: It executes a custom JavaScript code block (named "Code") to process the incoming data. This step likely involves some form of verification or data transformation.
- Conditional Logic: An "If" node evaluates the result of the "Code" node.
- If True: If the condition is met (e.g., the beta tester is verified), the workflow proceeds to create a Trello card.
- If False: If the condition is not met, the workflow sends an email via Gmail.
- Creates Trello Card (on True): If the condition is true, a new card is created in Trello, likely for onboarding or further processing of the verified beta tester. The "Edit Fields" (Set) node might be used to prepare data for Trello.
- Sends Gmail (on False): If the condition is false, an email is sent using Gmail, possibly to notify an administrator or the applicant about the verification status.
- Responds to Webhook: After processing, the workflow sends a response back to the originating webhook, indicating the outcome of the operation.
Prerequisites/Requirements
- n8n Instance: A running n8n instance to host the workflow.
- Webhook: An external system configured to send data to the n8n webhook URL.
- Trello Account: A Trello account with appropriate permissions to create cards.
- Gmail Account: A Gmail account with appropriate permissions to send emails.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow: Import the provided JSON into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- Trello: Set up your Trello API credentials within n8n.
- Gmail: Set up your Gmail API credentials (OAuth 2.0 recommended) within n8n.
- Configure Webhook:
- Activate the "Webhook" trigger node and copy its unique URL.
- Configure your external system to send data to this URL.
- Customize "Code" Node: Adjust the JavaScript code in the "Code" node (
ID: 834) to implement your specific verification logic and data processing. - Customize "If" Node: Modify the conditions in the "If" node (
ID: 20) to match the expected output from your "Code" node for branching logic. - Configure "Edit Fields" (Set) Node: Adjust the fields being set in the "Edit Fields" node (
ID: 38) to prepare data for the Trello card. - Configure Trello Node: Set the Board, List, and any other card details in the "Trello" node (
ID: 43) according to your Trello setup. - Configure Gmail Node: Specify the recipient, subject, and body of the email in the "Gmail" node (
ID: 356). - Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow in n8n.
