n8n

Use n8n to build custom attribution workflows. Open source, self hostable, and works with any data source via HTTP request nodes.

Overview

What you getwith the n8n integration

n8n is an open source alternative to Zapier and Make. Self hostable for teams with strict data residency or compliance requirements. n8n cloud also available. Use HTTP Request nodes to POST attribution data to the Finseo API from any trigger: form submissions, CRM events, scheduled jobs, or custom webhooks.

Use cases

What you can dowith n8n and Finseo

01

Self hosted attribution pipeline

For teams with data residency requirements (EU, regulated industries), self host n8n and route attribution data to Finseo without third party SaaS.

02

Custom transformations

Use n8n Code nodes to transform attribution data before sending to Finseo. Parse, enrich, dedupe, or join multiple data sources.

03

Conditional workflows

Use n8n IF nodes to route different lead types differently. Send only B2B leads to Finseo, only deals over a threshold, or only specific form types.

04

Multi step enrichment

Build a pipeline that captures form data, enriches with Clearbit or Apollo, looks up the matching CRM contact, then sends the full attribution record to Finseo.

05

Cost effective alternative

For teams running thousands of attribution events per day, n8n self hosted is significantly cheaper than equivalent Zapier or Make plans.

How to connect

Connect n8n to Finseoin 5 steps, no code required

Step 01

Get your Finseo API key and endpoint

In Finseo, go to API Keys (/api) and create a key. On the n8n integration card, copy the API endpoint URL for your project.

Step 02

Create an n8n workflow

In n8n, create a new workflow. Add a trigger node for your data source (Webhook, Schedule, CRM trigger, form trigger).

Step 03

Add an HTTP Request node

Add an HTTP Request node. Set Method to POST and URL to the Finseo API endpoint. Set Body Content Type to JSON.

Step 04

Set authentication

Add a header Authorization: Bearer sk_live_yourkey. Get your key from Finseo /api. Treat it as a secret.

Step 05

Map the body fields

In the JSON body, map your trigger data to channelId, respondentEmail, dealValue, dealCurrency, formId, pageUrl, metadata. Activate the workflow.

FAQ

n8n and AI search visibilityquestions people ask before choosing a tool

Finseo offers a native n8n integration through standard HTTP Request nodes and the Finseo REST API. Any n8n trigger, from form submissions to CRM events, can post attribution data to Finseo, which attributes each lead to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot. Finseo is an Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform, so attribution joins prompt tracking.

Create an n8n workflow with your trigger, add an HTTP Request node set to POST, and send a JSON body with channelId, respondentEmail, dealValue, and pageUrl to the Finseo API endpoint. Finseo records the event under ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, or another engine. Use n8n IF nodes to route only B2B leads or deals over a threshold.

Yes. Finseo is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform that connects to n8n through HTTP Request nodes with Bearer authentication. They do different jobs: n8n moves and transforms data between your forms, CRMs, and databases, while Finseo attributes each event to ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude and shows it next to tracked prompts and citations.

Create an API key under Finseo /api and copy the API endpoint from the n8n integration card. In n8n, add a trigger node, then an HTTP Request node with Method POST, the Finseo endpoint URL, Body Content Type JSON, and a header Authorization: Bearer sk_live_yourkey. Map channelId, respondentEmail, dealValue, dealCurrency, formId, pageUrl, and metadata, then activate.

n8n sends only the fields you map in the HTTP Request body: channelId, respondentEmail, dealValue, dealCurrency, formId, pageUrl, and metadata. Traffic is one way from n8n to Finseo over the REST API. Because n8n is self hostable, teams with EU data residency or compliance requirements can run the pipeline on their own infrastructure without third party SaaS.

Yes. The n8n integration uses the Finseo REST API and is included in every paid Finseo plan with no per-integration fee. On the n8n side, self hosted n8n is free for unlimited workflows and runs, and n8n Cloud works identically. Both connect to Finseo with the same HTTP Request node and Bearer token.

Yes. Technical teams with data residency requirements, for example EU or regulated industries, can self host n8n via Docker, npm, or Kubernetes and route attribution data to Finseo without any third party SaaS in between. n8n Code nodes in JavaScript or Python let you parse, enrich, dedupe, or join sources before Finseo attributes each event to an AI engine.

No. n8n is a workflow automation tool; it moves data but has no concept of which AI engine sent a lead. Finseo adds the attribution layer: you pass a channelId from n8n, and Finseo categorizes every event as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, or another engine and reports it for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) planning.

A native Finseo n8n node is in development. Today the integration uses the n8n HTTP Request node with the Finseo REST API, which works fully, including retry on failure with configurable backoff and n8n credential management for the Bearer key. The native node will simplify field mapping and add Finseo specific actions like creating attribution events or fetching metrics.
