Create Clockify Project from Webhook

This n8n workflow automates the creation of projects in Clockify based on incoming data from a webhook. It acts as an integration point, allowing external systems to trigger project creation in Clockify without manual intervention.

What it does

This workflow simplifies the process of creating new projects in Clockify by:

1. Listening for incoming data: It starts by waiting for an HTTP POST request to a defined webhook URL.
2. Creating a Clockify Project: Upon receiving data, it uses the information from the webhook payload to create a new project in Clockify.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
• Clockify Account: An active Clockify account with API access.
• Webhook Source: An external system or application configured to send POST requests to the n8n webhook URL. The payload of this webhook should contain the necessary data for creating a Clockify project (e.g., project name, client ID, etc.).

Setup/Usage

1. Import the workflow:
   • Copy the provided JSON code.
   • In your n8n instance, go to "Workflows" and click "New".
   • Click the "Import from JSON" button (usually a cloud icon with an arrow pointing down) and paste the JSON code.
2. Configure Credentials:
   • Locate the "Clockify" node.
   • Click on the "Credential" field and select "Create New Credential".
   • Provide your Clockify API Key. You can typically find this in your Clockify profile settings under "API".
3. Activate the Webhook:
   • Locate the "Webhook" node.
   • Copy the "Webhook URL" provided by n8n. This is the URL your external system will send data to.
   • Ensure the workflow is "Active" (toggle the switch in the top right corner of the workflow editor).
4. Configure the Clockify Node:
   • The Clockify node is set to "Create" an "Project".
   • You will need to map the data from the incoming webhook to the Clockify project fields. For example, if your webhook sends {"projectName": "My New Project"} you would set the "Name" field in the Clockify node to an expression like {{ $json.projectName }}.
   • You may also need to specify the "Workspace ID" and potentially "Client ID" or other project details. These can either be hardcoded if constant or also extracted from the webhook data.
5. Trigger the Workflow:
   • Send a POST request to the webhook URL (copied in step 3) from your external system with the appropriate JSON payload.
   • The workflow will execute, and a new project should be created in your Clockify account.
