Description

n8n-nodes-craft-apps3k

n8n community nodes for Craft‘s Connect API. Two nodes — Craft Documents (multi-document spaces) and Craft Daily Notes (date-based notes & tasks) — covering blocks, collections, search, tasks, and file uploads. Both are usable as AI agent tools.

> Fork notice: This is an independent fork of n8n-nodes-craft by Yigit Konur, published as n8n-nodes-craft-apps3k and updated for Craft’s current Connect API (separate API URL + API key, Bearer auth).

Installation

In n8n: Settings → Community Nodes → Install, then enter n8n-nodes-craft-apps3k.

To use the nodes as AI agent tools, set N8NCOMMUNITYPACKAGESALLOWTOOL_USAGE=true on the n8n host.

Authentication

Craft’s Connect API uses two parts: a connection URL plus a separate API key (sent as a Bearer token).

1. In Craft, go to Settings → Connect and create or open a connection.
2. Copy the API URL (looks like https://connect.craft.do/links/{UUID}/api/v1).
3. Copy the API Key for that connection.
4. In n8n, create the matching credential — Craft Documents API or Craft Daily Notes API — and paste both the API URL and the API Key.

The key is stored as a secret and sent as Authorization: Bearer on every request. Saving the credential runs a quick GET /connection test.

Nodes & resources

| Resource | Craft Documents | Craft Daily Notes |
|———-|:—:|:—:|
| Document (list, create, move, delete) | ✅ | — |
| Block (get, insert, update, delete, move, search) | ✅ | ✅ |
| Collection (list, schema, items CRUD) | ✅ | ✅ |
| Task (inbox / active / upcoming / logbook) | — | ✅ |
| Search (across the space) | ✅ | ✅ |
| File (upload) | ✅ | ✅ |

Documents are addressed by document / page IDs; daily notes by date (today, tomorrow, yesterday, or YYYY-MM-DD).

Working with collections

Collections are structured tables inside Craft. For Add Items and Update Items, pick a collection and its columns load automatically as typed fields — text, number, date picker, and dropdowns whose options come from the collection’s schema. No JSON required.

To set a relation (a link to items in another collection), use the Relations section: choose the relation field, then pick one or more target items from the dropdown. For Update Items, map the Item ID field to identify the row to change.

Uploading files

Upload images, videos, or documents via File → Upload (or Block → Upload File — the same action).

1. Provide the file as binary data on the incoming item (e.g. from HTTP Request, Read/Write Files from Disk, or a previous node) and set Input Binary Field to that property’s name (default data).
2. Choose a Position:
– Start / End — at the start or end of a page (Documents: pick the Page) or a daily note (Daily Notes: set the Date).
– Before / After — relative to a Sibling Block ID.
3. Execute. The node returns blockId, assetUrl, and fileName.

Optionally set File Name to control the name returned in the output (it defaults to the uploaded file’s original name). Note: Craft’s API does not display file names on uploaded blocks, so this only affects the node’s output — useful for downstream nodes.

One file per input item; feed multiple items to upload several files.

Troubleshooting

• Credential test fails: re-check the API URL and API Key (Settings → Connect). The key is the connection’s key, not the URL UUID.
• Nodes not available as tools: set N8NCOMMUNITYPACKAGESALLOWTOOL_USAGE=true and restart n8n.
• Empty collection dropdowns: make sure the credential points at a connection that has access to the relevant documents and collections.
• Changes don’t take effect after an update (queue mode): restart the main n8n process and all workers — each loads community-node code only at startup.
