# How to connect n8n

> Make your n8n workflows Orbit-aware.

n8n is a workflow automation platform. Connecting it to Orbit makes your automations read decisions before running and file their outputs to your Vault.

## Steps

1. In your n8n workflow, add an **MCP Client** node (or an **HTTP Request** node).
2. Set the endpoint to your Orbit MCP URL:
   ```
   https://app.orbitagents.xyz/api/public/mcp/[your-key]
   ```
3. Call `orbit_heartbeat` at the **start** of the workflow to receive active decisions.
4. Call `orbit_result` when the workflow completes to file its output to your Vault.

## What happens

Your n8n automations become Orbit-aware — they read decisions before running and file outputs to your Vault. Every n8n run shows up on your dashboard alongside your Claude agents.

## Best for

Automated pipelines — lead generation, content publishing, data collection, outreach sequences — where you want every run visible in Orbit and governed by your active decisions.
