Description

n8n-nodes-getsequence

An n8n community node for the Sequence Platform v1 API (API reference).

Automate money movement and read financial data from your Sequence account: list accounts, create ACH transfers, trigger rules, and read transfers, rule executions, card transactions, and external transactions.

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Installation

Self-hosted n8n: Settings → Community Nodes → Install and enter n8n-nodes-getsequence. See the installation guide.

Credentials

Create a Sequence API credential:

• API Key – a Sequence API key (sk_...), sent as Authorization: Bearer . Create one in the Sequence app under Account → API Keys.

Keys are scoped. Grant the minimum permissions for the operations you use:

| Operation | Required scope |
| — | — |
| Account → Get Many / Get | READ_ACCOUNTS |
| Account → List Transfers | READ_TRANSFERS |
| Transfer → Get Many / Get | READ_TRANSFERS |
| Transfer → Create | MANUAL_TRANSFER |
| Card Transaction → Get Many | READ_TRANSFERS |
| External Transaction → Get Many | READ_TRANSFERS |
| Rule → Get Many / Get | READ_RULES |
| Rule → Trigger | TRIGGER_RULES |
| Rule Execution → Get Many / Get | READ_RULES |

Operations

• Account – Get, Get Many, List Transfers
• Card Transaction – Get Many
• External Transaction – Get Many
• Rule – Get, Get Many, Trigger
• Rule Execution – Get, Get Many
• Transfer – Create, Get, Get Many

Dry run (simulation)

Transfer → Create and Rule → Trigger both default the Simulation (Dry Run) toggle to on. While on, the API simulates the operation and returns the projected result (executionMode: SIMULATION) without moving real money. Turn it off to move real money; the node shows a 💸 LIVE subtitle and an inline warning when it is off.

> Simulated transfers are persisted but excluded from LIVE list reads. Use the Execution Mode filter (SIMULATION / ALL) on the transfer/execution list operations to see them.

Async operations

Create Transfer and Trigger Rule are asynchronous. Create Transfer returns a transfer with status PROCESSING; Trigger Rule returns an executionId. Poll Transfer → Get or Rule Execution → Get (optionally behind a Wait node) to track the final status.

Rate limits

The Sequence API allows 100 requests/minute per key (token bucket) and returns 429 with a Retry-After header when exceeded.

The node handles this for you: every request retries automatically on 429, 5xx, and network errors (up to 5 attempts), honoring the server’s Retry-After. List operations with Return All page at the maximum size (100 per page) to minimize calls. You don’t need to enable n8n’s Retry On Fail.

For very large lists you’d rather paginate manually, leave Return All off and set Page + Limit to fetch one page at a time.

Compatibility

Requires n8n with n8nNodesApiVersion: 1. Built with @n8n/node-cli.
