Installation

Follow the official community node installation guide or install from the n8n UI by referencing this package name.

Operations

The node exposes the Task Runner resource of the Ation Service Agent API:

• Execute a task from a selected project template (supports dry-run mode).
• Check the status of an existing task.
• Fetch the generated JSON task report.
• Stop or force stop a running task.
• Dynamically load available projects and templates based on your credentials.

The bundle also ships with an Ation Service Agent Trigger node that accepts incoming webhooks for task status updates.

Credentials

Create credentials of type Ation Service Agent API in n8n:

• Ation Service Agent URL: Base URL of your Ation deployment, e.g. https://ation.mydomain.local.
• Access Token: API token with permission to manage tasks. It is sent as a Bearer token on every request.

The credential test issues a GET /api/user/ request to verify the token.

Compatibility

• Ation Service Platform >= 2025.11.0
• Built with @n8n/node-cli and n8n-workflow 1.82.x.
• Tested with n8n >= 1.115.3. No specific incompatibilities are known.

Usage

1. Add the Ation Service Agent node to your workflow and select the Task Runner resource.
2. Choose or expression-set a project and template; both dropdowns query the API for live data.
3. Run the workflow to create or manage tasks, then chain follow-up nodes using the JSON response.
4. Optionally add the trigger node, expose it via n8n’s webhook URL, and configure Ation Service Platform to call it when task statuses change.
