Description

n8n-nodes-tese

This is an n8n community node package. It lets you integrate TESE ESG workflows with n8n — trigger formula/aggregation webhooks, call the external API, and finalize results back to TESE.

Installation

Follow the n8n community nodes installation guide.

npm (self-hosted n8n)

cd ~/.n8n/custom
npm install n8n-nodes-tese

Restart n8n after installing.

Development install

git clone https://github.com/tese-io/n8n-nodes-tese.git
cd n8n-nodes-tese
npm install
npm run build
npm run dev

The dev command starts n8n on http://localhost:5678 with hot reload.

Credentials

Create a tese.io API credential in n8n:

1. Open Credentials → Add credential → search tese.io API
2. Set Base URL to your TESE backend (default https://api.tese.io)
3. Paste your tenant API Key from TESE Settings → External API keys
4. Click Test — confirms auth against GET /api/v3/external/facilities?limit=1

| Field | Value |
|——-|——-|
| Base URL | https://api.tese.io (or your self-hosted backend) |
| API Key | Tenant external API key from TESE Settings |

Authentication uses Authorization: Bearer . Credentials are stored encrypted by n8n (not by this package).

Example workflow

Import docs/examples/aggregation-finalize-workflow.json into n8n:

1. tese.io Trigger (Activity Aggregation) receives the webhook payload from TESE
2. Code node aggregates activity values
3. tese.io Finalize posts the result back (uses finalize_token from the trigger when present)

Typical workflow

1. Add tese.io Trigger — choose Activity Formula or Activity Aggregation
2. Copy the webhook URL into your TESE question n8n config
3. Process the payload in n8n
4. Add tese.io Finalize — set value/unit and finalize back to TESE

Use Test workflow on the trigger to load sample fixtures without a live webhook.
